Definitely, Janet. It makes you wonder about everything! from the blades of grass at the park, to the vastness of the universe. Everything revolves around the concept of zero… and we hardly ever think about it. This book will change that.

Ha! Good to know Megan, and this is definitely one of those diamonds in the rough that any math & history geek will appreciate.

haha. 🙂 I do. I have to admit there are two chapters that got a bit boring, but besides that it almost reads like a novel.

Now my brain is contemplating all sorts of things – like the math of the universe and the void. And zero. And how what isn’t there is still taking up space somewhere, if only in our thoughts. Hmmmmm.

Thanks for sharing, I’m always in the mood for a good book, and I am a bit of a geek when it comes to the historical aspect of any story or subject. ; )

Definitely a good book William. I’d recommend it to anyone that likes to know how we got to where we are today. I didn’t think it would be as good as it turned out.

There are 7 apples or 0 apples. Merely a description that belongs to nothing but it’s subject in language. Names don’t belong to things, they’re human attempts to define and create order in the world.

I’d be interested in the rest of the book. Seems like it was pretty impactful.
