![]() ![]() In 628 CE, Brahmagupta first described gravity as an attractive force and used the term "gurutv?kar?a?am ( ?)" in Sanskrit to describe it Some of the important contributions made by Brahmagupta in astronomy are his methods for calculating the position of heavenly bodies over time (ephemerides), their rising and setting, conjunctions, and the calculation of solar and lunar eclipses.įurther work exploring the longitudes of the planets, diurnal rotation, lunar and solar eclipses, risings and settings, the moon's crescent and conjunctions of the planets, are discussed in his treatise Khandakhadyaka. As no proofs are given, it is not known how Brahmagupta's results were derived. The texts composed by Brahmagupta were in elliptic verse in Sanskrit, as was common practice in Indian mathematics. Brahmagupta was the first to give rules for computing with zero. He is the author of two early works on mathematics and astronomy: the Br?hmasphu?asiddh?nta, a theoretical treatise, and the Kha?akh?dyaka, a more practical text. Brahmaguptaīrahmagupta was an Indian mathematician and astronomer. Through the writings of Aryabhata's contemporary, Varahamihira, and later mathematicians and commentators, such as Brahmagupta and Bhaskara I, the Arya-Siddhanta, a lost work on astronomical computations, has been preserved. It includes a sines table, sums-of-power series, continued fractions, and quadratic equations. ![]() Arithmetic, algebra, plane trigonometry, and spherical trigonometry are all covered in the Aryabhatiya's mathematical section. His most famous publication, Aryabhatiya, a collection of mathematics and astronomy, was frequently cited in Indian mathematical literature and has remained in print to this day. ![]() Around 1300 years before Lambert demonstrated that a pi is an irrational number, Aryabhata calculated the value of pi to the fourth decimal digit.Īryabhata is the author of several treatises on mathematics and astronomy, some of which are lost. His work on pure mathematics covers subjects like finding the square and cube roots, geometrical figures and their properties, arithmetic progression problems on the shadow of the gnomon, quadratic equations, linear equations, and indeterminate equations. His work is divided into Ganita (Mathematics), Kalakriya (Calculations on Time), and Golapada by later commentators like Brahmagupta ("Spherical Astronomy"). In Aryabhata's phonemic system of number notation, consonant-vowel monosyllables were used to represent the numbers. AryabhataĪryabhata was an Indian mathematician and astronomer of the classical age of Indian Mathematics and Indian Astronomy. In this article, we'll talk about ten of the mathematician treasures of India, which are as follows: 1. It's interesting to note that this period's mathematics appears to have been created to address practical geometric issues, particularly those involving the construction of religious altars. The Vedic works have been given many dates, as is customary. The mathematical systems found in Vedic literature have garnered a lot of attention. The mathematical concepts that originated on the Indian subcontinent have greatly influenced the rest of the world. Math has long played a significant role in shaping Indian civilization. From dividing a cake into equal pieces to weighing people or figuring out their height, math is used everywhere. But when we consider our daily activities, math has a big impact on them. When it comes to math, there are two types of people: those who are utterly brilliant at it and those who find it to be nothing less than a nightmare. Worldwide, the study of mathematics continues to be of utmost importance. From literature and science to art and theatre, India has been a pioneer in every sphere. India's incredibly talented and famous mathematicians have raised the country's pride. India has produced some of the greatest minds in history. Next → ← prev Top 10 Indian Mathematicians ![]()
