Bakhshali manuscript

The Bakhshali manuscript is a mathematical text written on birch bark that was found in 1881 near the British-ruled village of Bakhshali (near Mardan in present-day Pakistan). It is notable for being "the oldest extant manuscript in Indian mathematics",[1] with portions dated to AD 224–383. It contains the earliest known Indian use of a zero symbol.
