to ask if you know the program about the number zero

[WhitePhantom]

I saw a documentary on the last few years about the number zero and it was really interesting (nerd alert!)

DS and I both love maths and I was telling him about it today but I can't find any reference to it anywhere so I'm just wondering if anyone knows the name of the program / documentation I'm referring to?

Thanks! 😊

Sorry, documentary, not documentation!

Was it the series 'The Story of Maths' presented by Marcus du Sautoy, which I think had an episode about the invention of zero? I think you can get it on Netflix.

No idea, but it sounds interesting so I'm placemarking!

It was, and I'm pretty sure the episode was called The Genius of the East .
I'm not good enough at this to link, but looks like its on You Tube.

I read a book about zero 'There nothing that is' by Robert Kaplan. That was good. Will watch with interest to see what the documentary was.

'THE nothing that is', rather

Haven't checked it but try this?

I loved the story of maths! There is another one he has done on measurement which is just as good

Ooops, how's your language skills?

This might be better: watchdocumentary.org/watch/the-story-of-maths-episode-02-the-genius-of-the-east-video_2683065ce.html

Ahhhhh yes, this is why I love mn It's The Story of the East alright!

I didn't realise that was part of a series, just randomly came across it one night and watched it. Now I can watch all of them!

DS and I are very happy - thank you! 😆

The Genius of the East, doh!
