Best Answer

Indian mathematicians of the Gupta period made important contributions. Aryabhata (AHR • yuh • BUHT • uh) was one of the first scientists known to have used algebra. Indian mathematicians explained the idea of infinity-something without an end. They also invented the symbol "0" and connected it with the idea of nothing. The Indians' invention of zero affected the study of mathematics and science. Modern technology, such as computers, would not be possible without the concept of zero.

Gupta mathematicians developed symbols for the numbers 1 to 9 that we use today. In the a.d. 700s, Arab traders adopted these number symbols, or numerals. European traders later borrowed them from the Arabs. In the a.d.1200s, use of these numbers spread though Europe and replaced Roman numerals. Today, this system of number symbols is known as the Indian-Arabic numerical system.

Can you explain how you know?

Mathematicians invented the symbol "0" which stands for nothing. Indians invention affected mathematics and science. Gupta mathematicians developed symbols for the number 1 to 9.
