Zero: A Landmark Discovery, the Dreadful Void, and the Ultimate Mind
Autor Syamal K. Sen, Ravi P. Agarwalen Limba Engleză Hardback – 5 noi 2015
Presented are the reasons why zero is a landmark discovery and why it has the potential to conjure up in an intense thinker the dreadful nothingness unlike those of other numbers such as 1, 2, and 3. Described are the representation of zero and its history including its deeper understanding via calculus, its occurrences and various roles in different countries as well as in sciences/engineering along with a stress on the Indian zero that is accepted as the time-invariant unique absolute zero. This is followed by the significant distinction between mathematics and computational mathematics and the concerned differences between the unique absolute zero and non-unique relative numerical zeros and their impact and importance in computations on a digital computer.
- Introduces the history of the value of zero and why it was a landmark discovery
- Discusses how zero is used in science and engineering and its use in different countries
- Explains how zero affects different mathematics and calculus

Recenzii
"This book combines, with healthy doses of the numeral zero’s journey from the subcontinent to European usage, many sources, samples, and reference points to help the reader become a student of such enlightenment." --MAA Reviews
"One gets the impression that in order to make their case the authors listed everything more or less interesting that they succeeded in associating with zero." --Zentralblatt MATH
