When was the zero first used in math problems? Where does the word “algebra” come from? Who first wrote “+” and “-“? These are just some of the topics we’ll discuss with Professor RAÚL ROJAS.  He is a professor of mathematics at the University of Nevada, Reno, and professor emeritus of computer science and mathematics at the Free University of Berlin. His new book is THE LANGUAGE OF MATHEMATICS: THE STORIES BEHIND THE SYMBOLS.
