Newsletter - From Nothing to Zero

My Newsletter was based on the ingenious discovery of zero. Zero has made apearences and disapearences throughout early history. It's idea has existed for thousands years.

It says that zero, just like all other numbers, were thought of more concretely. Rather than in today's society, we think of numbers more abstractly. Numers in ancient were thought like how many cows a farmer has, how much you need to pay for some pork, etc.

The most interesting piece in the newsletter is the part where I mention some of the famous mathematicians who tried to adapt mathematics to zero. Bramhagupta, Mahavira, Bhaskara, werer famous ancient mathematicians who came up with three seperate conjections for zero in Addition, Subtraction, Multiplication, and Division. Ech of them trying to prove the formers opinion.
