   • 2004, Gunnar Dal, Þriðja árþúsundið: Framtíð manns og heims, page 58:

     Þeir menn virðast fara með sterk rök sem segja að núllið sé núll og núllið sé ekki tala og núllið sé ekki neitt stærðfræðilega séð.

     The men seem to come with good arguments that said that the zero is nothing and the zero is not a number and the zero is to be seen as nothing mathematical.
