That would be a great topic. She could bring in the Babylonians, Mayans, Hindus ...

By the way, do you know which number divided by zero is not undefined, and why?

Answer Here

That would be easy...The zero was created by an Islamic mathematician, and since then, Islam has contributed ZERO to civilized society! Leave the rest of the pages blank...

We both can’t believe how many responses this thread has generated! I knew there were a lot of smart people on this forum, but I am overwhelmed by how many of you have taken the time to generously share your knowledge and in some cases, humor.

Thanks for all of your help and suggestions - you've given my daughter plenty of information to get her started. I think I pinged everyone who responded, but if I missed anyone I apologize.
