In the history of the world the invention of zero is very significant. When and who did the innovation of zero is in dark till today but it is recognized across the world that zero was invented in India. Even though it is difficult to identify a single inventor of the concept of zero, Brahmagupta is a reasonable candidate for that title. Brahmagupta has been sometimes thought out to be the "Father of Zero. It is the very Brahmagupta, the father of arithmetic who taught us addition, subtraction, multiplication and division. Brahmagupta is generally known as the mathematician par excellence. Brahmagupta was the mathematician from India who first established the concept of zero. Brahmagupta is one of the most important mathematicians both of India and of its time. Brahmagupta has had a great influence on modern mathematics that is why we need to understand his works today. The Brahmasphutasiddhanta (The Opening of the Universe), written in the year 628 AD by Brahmagupta is the earliest known text to treat zero as a number in its own right and to use and define operations involving zero. Therefore, Brahmagupta was the greatest mathematician and astronomer in history from the 7th century.

Brahmagupta was the greatest mathematician in history. While the famous mathematician Aryabhatta lived in Kusumapura (modern Patna) Brahmagupta is said to have been from Bhillamala (modern Bhinmal), which was the capital of Rajasthan. Brahmagupta was also renowned for introduction of negative numbers. As a result Brahmagupta is often referred to as Bhillamalacarya, the teacher from Bhillamala. Brahmagupta is also accredited to inventing the concept of zero.

Interestingly, Brahmagupta is credited to have devised the concept of infinity in the 7th century CE, long before it became current in the West. The ancient India astronomer Brahmagupta is credited with having put forth the concept of zero for the first time. Brahmagupta is regarded as the first mathematician and credited with attention to the join in the real number line. He formulated the use an concept of both negative and positive numbers, a way of working out square roots, means of solving linear and a number of quadratic equations. Furthermore, the arithmetic's presented by Brahmagupta is today's algorithm for computing square roots.
