You are such a moron!  In one sentence you expose dozens of
points of your idiocy!  Incredible!
When one of your comrades claimed modern math came from far
easterners, you didn't seem to care.  You didn't name anyone, as
I challenged.  Romans did just fine without a formal zero.
Calculus is more impressive than algebra. Arabians are caucasians,
that's close enough to white. However, white Europeans gave us
"zero" and algebra.  It's just that Europe was already using a
different numbering system while the rest of the world was nearly
completely math ignorant.  When base 10 came along, even the
genetically inferior races could get into math as they could
count on their fingers.
Consider, those Africans didn't invent the metric system
while us Americans were developing the english system.  Or,
third world countries didn't develop better phone technology,
they just hadn't yet developed a wired phone system so now
they have many cell phones.  But, sigh, any concept beyond
2+2=4 is probably too tough for you to grasp.
