Famous mathematician aryabhatta biography and contribution

Aryabhatta (476–550 CE) is regarded as a pioneer of mathematical astronomy in ancient India whose work is available to modern scholars. His works include the Aryabhatiya and the Arya Siddhanta.Among other things, Aryabhatta calculated the closest approximate value of ‘pi’ and he was the first to explain that the moon and planets shine due to reflected sunlight and made major contributions to the fields of trigonometry and algebra.

Aryabhatta Early Life

Aryabhatta (476–550 CE) was the first of the major mathematician-astronomers from the classical age of Indian mathematics and astronomy.

Aryabhatta Education and Career

Aryabhatta studied at Kusumapura (Patliputra) for advanced studies. 

• Given that Nalanda University was located in Pataliputra and had an astronomical observatory, it is possible that Aryabhatta was the head of Nalanda University at that time.
• Aryabhatta is also said to have establis

  The Father of Indian Mathematics

  Aryabhatta, also known as the father of Indian Mathematics, was a renowned astronomer and mathematician of the ancient times of India. Aryabhatta contributed significant work in science and mathematics and concluded theories of earth rotation on its axis, approximation of pie (π) place value system of zero, trigonometry, and many others.

  One of his famous works is Aryabhatiya, a magnum opus written in the Sanskrit language and the only known surviving work of Indian mathematician Aryabhata from the fifth century. His work includes the Arya-Siddhanta, a lost treatise on astronomical calculations, Varahamihira, Bhaskara, and Brahmagupta. The discoveries made by the Aryabhatta were impactful. Aryabhatta gained worldwide recognition as a legendary mathematician.

  Let us look at the detailed life of Aryabhatta, his contribution to Mathematics and Astronomy, and his background, qualification, and legacy.
