In earlier times people were indiscriminately using negatives of numbers and came up with statements like 2+2=5.
Also during those days mathematicians were contemplating of root of minus 1.
Maclaurin had come up with infinite series of sin(x), cos(x) and also log(x). These do not require 0 factorial (0!). Maclaurin could have managed without 0!.
Euler took upon his shoulders the 0!. He also introduced i, the complex number which is root of minus 1. The e constant was born.
"External " binomial expressions (a+b)^n were made by Newton. Newton used his thumb as 1, as a right triangle and also placed it in ground indicating use of gravity. Three things Newton used his thumb for. He was a super human.
Newton's mathematics were spread on all the areas where the "sun never sets".
X=0 is a sin in mathematics. What to say of polynomials equated to 0. Personally I was looking out for m squared minus m minus 1 sorts of expressions but rarely equated them to zero in mind.
I hope my sins are forgot.
