Is zero really a number?

Quote: billryanIf it is, why is it so different from any other number? Adding or subtracting it from any other number does nothing. Multiply any other number by zero, and the answer is always zero. Early calculators used to indicate an error when you tried dividing by zero, but not any other number.
Why were the Romans able to rule their known world without the use of zero? They managed without a zero but couldn't do much without any of the other nine numbers.
The other nine numbers all follow set rules, but zero follows a different set. Most of the time, it functions as a normal number, but sometimes it, and only it, can go rogue.
Is zero the Pluto of numbers?

It depends on how you look at it, pure mathematics or games as a separate part.
