You are correct and I've often wondered how the Romans built their infrastructure without the use of a zero for doing calculations.
Who invented zero?
Zero was invented by Aryabhata
In around 500AD Aryabhata devised a number system which has no zero yet was a positional system. He used the word "kha" for position and it would be used later as the name for zero. There is evidence that a dot had been used in earlier Indian manuscripts to denote an empty place in positional notation. It is interesting that the same documents sometimes also used a dot to denote an unknown where we might use x. Later Indian mathematicians had names for zero in positional numbers yet had no symbol for it. The first record of the Indian use of zero which is dated and agreed by all to be genuine was written in 876

btw, many references point to a 1225 reference to a Robert Hod. History shows that York sought a criminal by that name; even putting a bounty on his head of 32 shillings and 6 pence. Unfortunately, there is no further reference of the man's specific crimes or anything to prove whether or not he was ever captured; making it impossible to determine whether or not he was the anti-hero.

Nally - You want some fun math? Try subnetting IP addresses. You have to think in decimal, binary and some hexidecimal if dealing with converting MAC address values to what IP they are tied to or vice versa, all at once. I just finished mapping out an entire network. I spent three days on it. Now I have to proof my work and find and correct errors. The people who are asking for it barely understand it and didn't really know how to ask for what they wanted. They had specifics of what they needed and expected me to be a mind reader. I failed mind reading 101. Too boot I can't get one of them to look at it to see if the picture in the computer is the same as the picture in their collective minds. And they want it yesterday. They want about a dozen network properties and identifying info all tied up nice and neat in one spreadsheet. The model blank spread sheet they gave me I sh*t canned. It was totally convoluted. I built my own.

On that note, I know that one can convert between binary and hex pretty easily, while decimal (base 10) not quite as much. But I do know that it can be done, since I'm good with math, and one of the computer sci classes I took had us do that sort of thing at the beginning.

But I do know that it can be done, since I'm good with math, and one of the computer sci classes I took had us do that sort of thing at the beginning.
Decimal to binary or vice versa is actually the easiest. It's powers of two. I use my fingers alot. In decimal we increment from units 1, ten 10, then 100 then 1000 etc just by adding one more zero. In binary everytime a power is escallated the decimal equivelent doubles. So if you could remember doubling it makes it easy. I have these doubling decimal numbers in my head since I've done this so many times.
1 1
2 10
4 100
8 1000
16 0001 0000
32 0010 0000
64 0100 0000
128 1000 0000
512 0001 0000 0000
1024 0010 0000 0000
2048 0100 0000 0000
4096 1000 0000 0000
8192 0001 0000 0000 0000
So I will use the number 1 for a finger that is significant up and a zero for a finger that is not.
So counting to sixteen in binary would look like this.
1 = 1
10 = 2
11 = 3
100 = 4
101 = 5
110 = 6
111 = 7
1000 = 8
1001 = 9
1010 = 10
1011 = 11
1100 = 12
1101 = 13
1110 = 14
1111 = 15
10000 = 16
8 4 2 1
1 1 1 1
From this if I wanted to know what 5 was in binary I would count zero on my first finger which would represent 8 since 8 is larger than 5 it would not count. Then I would count 1 on my second finger since 4 is less than five it would count and become a binary 1. The third finger would represent 2 in decimal. Add 4 + 2 and get 6. 6 is greater than 5 so finger three would not count and become a binary 0. The forth finger would represent 1 in decimal and since 4 + 1 = 5 I would have found the binary number to be 0101. Discount binary numbers that by themselves or added with another from left to right are greater than the decimal number that you want. Count only the numbers that alone are equal to the decimal number or added together are equal to the decimal number you want. In this case the second 1 from the left and the number at the far right added together equals 5.
8 4 2 1 4+1=5
0 1 0 1 Binary third power plus binary first power added together equal 5 in decimal.
After a while you run out of fingers and then just use pen and paper. If added up combinations are greater than the decimal number you are trying to convert to binary, discount the last number that was added on the right and take half of that number and add it to the accumulating sum from the next number on the right. If that new number is less than the decimal number you are trying to convert count it, if not then discount it again. Keep doing this until the decimal number accumulating is equal to the binary number you are solving for then fill what remains with zeros. Hint - even binary numbers always end in zero and odd binary numbers always end in 1. So if you are one number short of the decimal number no matter where you are in the binary string simply fill with zeros until the last character on the right and then write a one.
Example convert 65 to binary' Using the powers of two or doubling you would know fairly quickly that the seventh number from the left would be a one. So you would write a 1 which would represent 64. You would then know that you would only need to write a binary 1 to get to 65 so you could quickly fill the next six binary numbers with zeros and write a 1 for the last digit. so you would have 0001 0000 0001 to equal 65 decimal. There was no need to add all those middle zeros and always coming up with a number greater than 65.

On very rare occasions it has been known to occur. Luckily I have never been on the receiving end of such a blow but I did witness one once. The guy rolled for days - actually he died of thirst before starving to death. It's not a pretty sight. It was actually the inspiration for the theme song of the 1960's TV show called "Rawhide" staring a very young Clint Eastwood.
Here's a Youtube of the original theme song.
