Muslims were pretty smart to invent the zero.. christians, even protestantic and prostetic like me were stupid to ban it as it obviously was from the wrong side, just think about a number meaning something which is nothing, sounds really dangerous. Fibonacci, the guy who came up with some now sucker investment (trade through the desert??) issues had luckily done a good islamic madrass, understood the basics of what jefferson dreamed of, basic skills of plus,minus,even multiplication and some division for both men and women.(slaves??) Thanks to great brahmagupta of india who made this mark of profit and loss, plus and minus at that time. Sad that this zero was so difficult, still a problem for most, especially christians, the problem of one year before and one after, zero?? is that one or two?? Luckily Mr Al-Gorithm cleared up the stuff, while the western culture was deep down in the dark. Interesting how Islam focuses on education?? Ilmarinen As a frmr finnish ancient god mohammed was obviously an old buddy, we had lots of fun. (search Gooogle for Kalevala and Ilmarinen)
