Zero was introduced conceptually by [[Jesus]] before mathematicians recognized it.  His parable of about the repeated yield of zero in connection with the sower of the seed is an explanation of logic in how everything times zero is zero, and how [[infinity]] divided by anything is still infinity.  This same parable is retold in all three synoptic [[Gospels]], at Matthew 13:1-23, Mark 4:1-20, and Luke 8:1-15.

In purely mathematical terminology, zero is also the [[additive identity]] of the [[real number]]s. One is the successor of zero. It is believed that [[India]]ns invented the numerical concept of zero for their trades to the west.
