    Zero is a natural number, an integer, a rational number, and a real number.

    Yes. It is the integer between -1 and 1.

    It is the concept that the Romans didn't grasp and the Arabs did. It is the sine qua non of modern mathematics.

    zero is a number, just like black is a color.

    Zero is the additive identity (just as one is the multiplicative identity). The only sort of number that it is not is a "counting" number. It is integral, rational, and real.

    Yes. Otherwise there would b a hole on the Number Line, the line that counts ...-2, -1, 0, 1, 2, ...

    yup, it represents none, nil, nada.
    It seperates the negative and positive numbers!!!

    Explanation is 2 images.


    [ Definition of Zero ( 0 ) ], [ (0_) - (0_) = (_0) ]


    [ Definition of Zero ( 0 ) ]
    [ Zero ( 0 ) ] = [ We have no (Partial Fortune and Debt) ], on Economy
    [ Zero ( 0 ) ] = [ Extinguishment of Obligations ], on Law of Obligations
    [ Zero ( 0 ) ] = [ There is no Number ], on Arithmetic

    [ Living Zero ( 0 ) ] [___] [ Dead Zero ( 0 ) ]
    [ Being Zero ( 0 ) ] [___] [ Not-being Zero ( 0 ) ]
    [ (Money $1) + (Document of Debt in $1) ] [___] [ Pay a Debt in $1 ]
    [ (+1) + (-1) ] [___] ( 0 )
    [ state Before Paying a debt ] [___] [ state After Paying a debt ]
    [ Credit + Debt ] [___] [ Offset (Setoff) ]
    [ state Before Payment ] [___] [ Extinguishment of Obligations ]
    [ Zero ( 0 ) Before calculating ] [___] [ Zero ( 0 ) After calculating ]
    [ Being ] [___] [ Not-being ]
    ( 1 - 1 ) [___] ( 0 )
    (0_) [___] (_0)
    (Single number system) [___] (Naught number system)


    SIGN
    [.^^^.] = ( 1 - 1 ) = (0_) = (1-1_1) = (1-1_)
    [.^^^.] = ( [+1] + [-1] ) = (0_) = ([+1]+[-1]_1) = ([+1]+[-1]_)
    [.^^^.] = (0_)(0_) = (1-1) X 2 = (1-1_2) = (0_2)
    [^^^] = [ (0_) - (0_) ] = [ (0_) ][^^^] = [ 0 X 3 ] = [ 000 ] = [ (0_)(0_)(0_) ] = [(0_3) ]
    [^^^] = [ 3 X 0 ] = [ 0 ] = [ (_0) ]
    [^^^] = [ (0_)(0_)(0_) ÷ 3 = 1 ]
    [^^^] = [ 3 ÷ (0_) = ∞ (infinity) ]
    [^^^] = [ 0 ÷ 0 ] = [ (0_) ÷ (0_) ] = [ 1 ]
    [^^^] = [ (_0) ÷ (_0) = (0_) ÷ (_0) =(_0) ÷ (0_) = (_0) = 0 ]
    If, accept [^^^].
    (Single number system) + (Decimal system) = (Eleven number system)
    (0_) 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0
    (0_) 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 (_0)

    coupdetat.net (2009.03.29)


    They are
    (Negative number)
    (imaginary number)
    (Infinity)
    (Infinitesimal)
    (Limit).


    They ask Zero ( 0 ) for Definition of Zero ( 0 ).


    [^^^] = [ (-2) X (-2) = (+4) ]
    = [ { (+1) - (+3)} X { (+1) - (+3) } = (+4) ]
    = [ ( 1 - 3 ) X ( 1 - 3 ) = (+4) ]
    = [ ( 1 - 3 ) - ( 3 - 9 ) = (+4) ]
    = [ 1 - 3 - 3 + 9 = (+4) ]
    Law of Liuhui Brahmagupta
    [ N X (-N) ] = [ - ( N X N ) ]
    [ N X (+N) ] = [ + ( N X N ) ]
    [ (-N) X (-N) ] = [ - { (-N) X N } ]
    [ (+N) X (+N) ] = [ + { (+N) X N } ]
    [ (-N) X (+N) ] = [ + { (-N) X N } ]
    [ (+N) X (-N) ] = [ - { (+N) X N } ]
    [ (-2) ] = [ ( 0 ) + (-2) ]
    = [ (+1) + (-1) + (-2) ]
    = [ (+1) + (-3) ]
    = [ (+1) - (+3) ]

    [ 0 ÷ 0 ] = [ 1 ] or [ 0 ]
    [ Being ÷ Being ] = [ 1 ]
    [ Being÷Not-being ]=[ 0 ]
    [ Not-being÷Not-being ]=[ 0 ]
    [ Not-being÷Being ]=[ 0 ]


    Because [ ∞ X 0 ] is reverse calculation on [ 0 ÷ 0 ],
    [ ∞ X 0 ] = [ (1/0) X 0 ] = [ 0 ÷ 0 ] = [ 1 ]
    [ ∞ X 0 ] = [ (1/0) X 0 ] = [ 0 ÷ 0 ] = [ 0 ]
    [ ∞ X 0 ] is ( 0 ) or (1).


    Conclusion
    A Mathematician already knows [ Living Zero ( 0 ) ].
    A Learner does not know [ Living Zero ( 0 ) ].
    How about ?

    Zero is a number. Without zero, you can't tell the difference between 1, 10, 100, etc. Zero holds a place and says that there is nothing there.

    Another way of looking at it, is, how would you answer the question, how many white socks do you have, if you do not have any white socks?

    Yes. The genesis of Zero is attributed to the ancient Indian Astronomer Aryabhata.His treatise on integers is the pioneering work.

    Zero is similar to black I believe. Black is the absence of colour. Zero is the absence of numbers. They can however, be used in the place of colours and numbers respectively. That's how I understand it anyway, although this is in no way a scientific answer; just my opinion.

    If infinity is not a number, then is zero really a number? I see that
    it is not recognized as a real number but as a whole number, integer,
    etc. It seems as though zero has been accepted as a number and
    infinity has been accepted as a concept.
