History of two indian mathematicians

India has been the birthplace of many great minds who have made significant contributions to the world of mathematics. From ancient times to the modern era, Indian mathematicians have played a pivotal role in shaping mathematical thought. Here, we explore the lives and works of some of the most famous Indian mathematicians and their remarkable contributions to the field.

1. Aryabhata (– AD)

Aryabhata is often regarded as the first of the great mathematicians in the classical age of Indian mathematics and astronomy. Born in Kusumapura (modern-day Patna), Aryabhata made pioneering contributions in various fields of mathematics and astronomy.

• Contributions:
  • Aryabhatiya: His magnum opus, Aryabhatiya, is a compilation of mathematics and astronomy that introduced several significant concepts.
  • Place Value System and Zero: Aryabhata is credited with the development of the place value system,

  List of Famous Indian mathematicians from Ancient to Modern India

  Mathematics is the study of concepts like quantity (numbers), structure, space, and change. Classical Indian mathematicians like Aryabhata, Brahmagupta, Mahavira, Bhaskara II, Madhava of Sangamagrama, Nilakantha Somayaji, etc. are immortal thanks to their contributions to mathematics. For instance, the decimal system, the idea of zero as a number, negative numbers, arithmetic, algebra, trigonometry, etc. Sanskrit was used to write mathematical works from ancient to medieval India, particularly sutras that outlined a set of rules or problems.

  Indian mathematics emerged in the Indian subcontinent^[1] from BCE^[2] until the end of the 18th century. In the classical period of Indian mathematics ( CE to CE), important contributions were made bygd scholars like Aryabhata, Brahmagupta, Bhaskara II, Varāhamihira, and Madhava. The decimal number system in use today^[3] was first recorded in Indian mathematics.^[4] Indian mathematicians made early contributions to the study of the concept of zero as a number,^[5]negative numbers,^[6]arithmetic, and algebra.^[7] In addition, trigonometry^[8] was further advanced in India, and, in particular, the modern definitions of sine and cosine were developed there.^[9] These mathematical concepts were transmitted to the mittpunkt East, China, and
