Some things from the article that struck me would be how it says how the symbol for zero has changed over the years. I never thought about where zero came from and it surprised me how the Mayans represented it as just a dot. Even though it was the Chinese that thought of the open circle, that we now use today, I think that the Mayans are the ones who should get all the credit because they are the ones who invented it. I think the whole world found out about zero when the Mayans first thought of it. It is like when new discoveries are found and they are put on the news, except in this case it was probably just spread around in words.
