Mayan mathematics was developed by the ancient Maya civilization, which thrived in Mesoamerica from around 2000 BCE to the Spanish conquest in the 16th century. It was not invented by a single individual but rather evolved over time through the contributions of various scholars and mathematicians within the Maya society. The system is notable for its use of a base-20 (vigesimal) numeral system and the concept of zero as a placeholder, which were significant advancements in mathematics for that era.
