Independently of who invented, I think your translation could be:

Los musulmanes en España inventaron el álgebra y el concepto del cero.

The concept of zero as a number originated in India and algebra was invented in ancient Egypt. Both came to Europe via the Spanish Muslims.

Not important, but didn't the Maya also have this concept of zero around the same time? - sunshinzmomm Oct 6

Yes, but the Europeans didn't find out about that until much later. - lorenzo9 Oct 6

I am not sure if it was Muslim Spain but I believe it was the Arabs that invented them.
