Who used place value and zero in mathematics? a. aztec b. maya c. inca

The Maya's used place value and zero in mathematics.

Explanation:

a is wrong, the Aztecs didn't write the value for absence, they built their mathematics considering what we know as fractions. Combining two different elements separated by a line to express a number.

b. is right. The Mayans developed a sophisticated math system, in which they found value in the absence and gave it a figure to represent it. They also established a combination system of small integrated figures that had the order to express value, very similar to the Arabic system.

c the Incas didn't find value on absence and they created a system of dots and thread to express amount. Their numbers consisted of the combination of dots perforated by lines to express groups and create bigger numbers.

- "the past is made of multitudinous items ranging from anything that can be collected, recollected or assessed to originate in the past. as such, the past is a gallimaufry of particulars that may not have been related in any way. however, the human mind seeks organization to understand concepts and other things. the human mind therefore seeks relationships in explaining and studying the past. history being a humanity, dictates that historians have to serve this human trait by bringing structure to details of the past. historians do this by creating interpretive frameworks that capture as many details as possible."
