    I’m an American mathematician, and I’ve never experienced a situation where 0 being an element of the Naturals was called out. It’s less ubiquitous than I’d like it to be, but at worst they’re considered equally viable conventions of notation or else undecided.

    I’ve always used N to indicate the naturals including 0, and that’s what was taught to me in my foundations class.
