The invention of zero as a mathematical concept is attributed to ancient Indian mathematicians, with the earliest recorded use found in the 5th century by Brahmagupta. He defined zero as a numeral and provided rules for its use in arithmetic operations. The concept of zero later spread to the Islamic world and then to Europe, revolutionizing mathematics by enabling the development of the place-value system and advanced calculations. This innovation laid the groundwork for modern mathematics and science.
