Mathematicians

Aryabhata (IAST: Āryabhaṭa; Sanskrit: आर्यभटः) (476–550 CE) was the first in the line of great
mathematician-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.

Biography

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 him "in more than a hundred places by
name".[2] Furthermore, in most instances "Aryabhatta" does not fit the metre either.[1]

Birth

Aryabhata mentions in the Aryabhatiya that it was composed 3,600 years into the Kali Yuga,
when he was 23 years old. This corresponds to 499 CE, and implies that he was born in 476 CE.

Aryabhata provides no information about his place of birth. The only information comes from
Bhāskara I, who describes Aryabhata as āśmakīya, &quo

Medieval Indian mathematicians, such as Brahmagupta (7th century), Mahavira (9th century) and Bhüskara (19th century), made several discoveries which in Europe were not known until the Renaissance or later, They understood the import of positive and negative quantities, evolved sound systems of extracting square and cube roots, and could solve quadratic and certain types of indeterminate equations.
