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.
