The Zero That Kept Eating The Whole World
The history of mathematics is a fascinating one. No, no, I swear.
Before some plonker (Euclid) drew lines and shapes and couldn’t see them in nature so invented Geometry; before some hippie Pythagorean junkie diagonally-halved a square, then squared the half and called it trigonometry; even before the Sumerians graduated from finger-counting to writing-counting; there was a fundamental problem in mathematics.
