Mathematics
Gerbert of Aurillac [b. Aurillac, Auvergne (France), c. 945, d. Rome, May 12, 1003], later Pope Sylvester II, introduces the abacus and Hindu-Arabic numerals to Europe (although the new method for writing numbers does not catch on at this time). He seems to have been unaware of zero. See also 876 Mathematics; 1000 Mathematics.
