Brahmagupta (Sanskrit: ब्रह्मगुप्त; listen (help·info)) (597–668 AD) was a Indian mathematician and astronomer who wrote many important works on mathematics and astronomy. His best known work is the Brāhmasphuṭasiddhānta (Correctly Established Doctrine of Brahma)‚ written in 628 in Bhinmal. Its 25 chapters contain several unprecedented mathematical results. Brahmagupta was the first to use zero as a number. He gave rules to compute with zero. Brahmagupta used negative numbers and zero for computing

Aryabhata (476–550 CE) was the first in the line of greatmathematician-astronomers from the classical age of Indian mathematics and Indian astronomy. His most famous works are the Aryabhatiya (499 CE‚ when he was 23 years old) and the Arya-siddhanta. Name While there is a tendency to misspell his name as "Aryabhatta" by analogy with other names having the "bhatta" suffix‚ his name is properly spelled Aryabhata: every astronomical text spells his name thus‚[1] including Brahmagupta’s references to

BC Calculus Post AP Exam Assignment: 500 BC-1 AD: Euclid‚ alive around 300 BC‚ completely transformed mathematics. His influence is extremely evident today in the fields of geometry‚ arithmetic‚ and optics. Living in a time when questioning thought‚ trying to understand the changing world‚ and developing ideas that could help understand the natural world‚ Euclid was able to identify and create ideas that transformed the way people viewed the world into a more mathematical‚ logical‚ and

From placeholder to the driver of calculus‚ zero has crossed the greatest minds and most diverse borders since it was born many centuries ago. Today‚ zero is perhaps the most pervasive global symbol known. In the story of zero‚ something can be made out of nothing. Zero‚ zip‚ zilch - how often has a question been answered by one of these words? Countless‚ no doubt. Yet behind this seemingly simple answer conveying nothing lays the story of an idea that took many centuries to develop‚ many countries

INTRODUCTION: "India was the motherland of our race and Sanskrit the mother of Europe’s languages. India was the mother of our philosophy‚ of much of our mathematics‚ of the ideals embodied in Christianity... of self-government and democracy. In many ways‚ Mother India is the mother of us all." - Will Durant‚ American Historian 1885-1981 Mathematics is an important field of study.

Bhaskara II was the head of the astronomical observatory at Ujjain‚ the chief mathematical center of ancient India. It goes to the credit of Varahamihira and Brahmagupta‚ the leading mathematicians who worked there and built up this school of mathematical astronomy. He wrote six books and the seventh book‚ which is attributed to him‚ is considered to be a forgery. The subjects of his six works are arithmetic‚ algebra
