  2. introduction I am here to talk about the number zero! In this unit we learned that people in the “ancient” world used many different kinds of ways to use and understand their numbers! (like this)

  3. Historical facts • The number zero as we know it arrived in the West circa 1200, most famously delivered by Italian mathematician Fibonacci (aka Leonardo of Pisa), who brought it, along with the rest of the Arabic numerals, back from his travels to north Africa. But the history of zero, both as a concept and a number, stretches far deeper into history—so deep, in fact, that its provenance is difficult to nail down.   • "There are at least two discoveries, or inventions, of zero," says Charles Seife, author of Zero: The Biography of a Dangerous Idea (Viking, 2000). "The one that we got the zero from came from the Fertile Crescent." It first came to be between 400 and 300 B.C. in Babylon, Seife says, before developing in India, wending its way through northern Africa and, in Fibonacci's hands, crossing into Europe via Italy.   • http://www.scientificamerican.com/article.cfm?id=history-of-zero

  4. Expansion of math • The number zero lead us to many discoveries in math like, multiplication, division, decimals, addition, subtraction, algebra and much more! • The expansion of math grew around the world faster and faster because of the number 0

  5. Introduction to Europe • When the number zero was first introduced to Europe ( in the 10th century) it was hated on. People thought that it had no right to be called a number, they would protest against the number and against the man that brought it to Europe who was called the ‘Mega Man Zero!’

  6. conclusion Overall if we didn’t have the number zero today in our world we wouldn’t have succeeded so far! This is why we need this special number in our lives. Thank you and I hope you enjoyed this little presentation I put together! I had to speed up my process of the way I did my work because my PowerPoint had been deleted somehow. In still managed
