first in India but from Irabic numerals
During the Gupta Empire's golden age, several important elements of modern mathematics were developed, notably the concept of zero as a numeral and the decimal system. Mathematicians like Aryabhata made significant contributions to arithmetic, algebra, and trigonometry, including methods for solving quadratic equations and calculating the value of pi. Additionally, the use of mathematical notation and the idea of using symbols to represent numbers laid the groundwork for future mathematical advancements. These developments greatly influenced mathematics in India and beyond.
Numbers originated as a means of counting and measuring in early human societies. The earliest forms of numerical representation can be traced back to ancient civilizations, such as the Sumerians around 3000 BCE, who used symbols for counting and trade. Over time, different cultures developed their own numerical systems, including the Egyptians, Babylonians, and later the Greeks and Romans, leading to the diverse array of number systems we have today. The concept of zero and the positional decimal system, crucial for modern mathematics, evolved from Indian mathematics around the 5th century CE.

Leonardo Pisano Fibonacci, or Leonardo of Pisa, was a famous mathematician, who introduced the modern numeric system that many nations use nowadays, born and raised in Italy. Alongside introducing numbers, he developed the now famous Fibonacci Sequence, which adds together the two previous numbers in the sequence; 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55, etc.

Arabic numerals, as they are known, were actually developed first in India, and were later imported into Europe by Arabs, hence the name.
