Much ado about zero
The concept of zero developed in many cultures over thousands of years. Why did such a ‘natural’ idea take so long? This lecture illustrates the wide-ranging mathematical achievements of China, India and Central America over a thousand-year period - some not to be rediscovered in Europe for a further thousand years - before returning to the elusive origins of zero.
