Indian mathematician bhaskara

Ancient Indian Mathematics is a branch of mathematics that has its roots in India and dates back to around the 3rd century BCE. This type of mathematics is known for its contributions to the development of mathematical concepts and techniques, such as the place value system and the use of zero. Ancient Indian mathematicians also made important contributions to geometry, trigonometry, and algebra. Genius of Bhaskara One of the most famous and influential ancient (p.c.- facebook) Bhaskara is best known for his book Lilavati, which was written in 1150 CE. The book is considered to be one of the greatest works of ancient Indian mathematics and is still widely studied and admired today. Lilavati the book Bhaskara’s Lilavati is a collection of mathematical problems and solutions, presented in the form of a dialogue between Bhaskara and his daughter, Lilavati. The book covers a wide range of mathematical topics, including arithmetic, algebra, geometry, trigonometry, and astronomy. One of the most interesting features of Lilavati is its use of word problems to illustrate mathematical concepts. For example, Bhaskara might describe a scenario in which a man wants to measure the height of a building and uses mathematics to determine the solution. This approach makes the mathematical concepts more relatable and helps to deepen the reader’s understanding of the material. (p.c.- wellcomeimages.com) Another notable aspect of Lilavati is Bhaskara’s use of the decimal system. He was one of...

• Share On Facebook • Share On Twitter • Share On WhatsApp • shares Bhaskaracharya, also known as Bhaskara II, was born circa 1114 in Bijapur, Karnataka to a Brahmin family of scholars. He is considered to be the greatest mathematician from medieval India. As Indians, it is important for us to know the history of India and the story of her greatest children. Bhaskara was one such child who went on to touch great heights in the field of mathematics. Here are 12 Facts about Bhaskaracharya, the mathematician from medieval India. Also read: Now, let’s begin our list of 12 Facts about Bhaskaracharya: 1. A man of many talents. He is believed to have been the head of the astronomical observatory in Ujjain. 2. Well ahead of his time. Bhaskara’s work on calculus was written over half a millennium before Newton and Leibniz’s work on the same subject was published. 3. ISRO’s tribute. As a tribute to the mathematician, ISRO in 1981 launched a satellite named Bhaskara II in his honor. 4. Siddhanta Siromani, his most important work. His main work, Siddhanta Siromani is divided into four parts: Lilavati, Bijaganita, Grahaganita, and Goladhyaya. 5. The first section: Lilavati Named after Bhaskara’s daughter, Lilavati contains 277 verses. 6. The second section: Bijaganita. The second section, Bijaganita is a section of Algebra, and it has 213 verses. The section discusses subjects like zero, infinity, and integers. The work includes a discussion on what is now called Pell’s equation, which...

Maryna Viazovska (born 1984) is a Ukrainian mathematician and only the second woman in history to receive the Fields Medal, the highest award in mathematics. Viazovska solved the sphere-packing problem in 8 and 24 dimensions, which asks about the most efficient way to arrange solid spheres. She is a professor at the École Polytechnique Fédérale in Lausanne, Switzerland. Avila Maryam Mirzakhani (مریم میرزاخانی‎, 1977 – 2017) was an Iranian mathematician and professor at Stanford University. She was the first woman to receive the Fields Medal, the highest award in mathematics. Mirzakhani worked at the intersection of dynamical systems and geometry. She studied objects like hyperbolic surfaces and complex manifolds, but also contributed to many other areas of mathematics. When solving problems, Mirzakhani would draw doodles and diagrams on large sheets of paper, to see the underlying patterns and beauty. Her daughter even described Maryam’s work as “painting”. At the age of 40, Mirzakhani died of breast cancer. Tao Born in Adelaide, Australia, Terence Tao (born 17 July) is sometimes called the “Mozart of mathematics”. When he was 13, he became the youngest ever winner of the International Mathematical Olympiad, and when he was 24, he became the youngest tenured professor at the University of California, Los Angeles. Tao has received the MacArthur Fellowship, the Breakthrough Prize in mathematics, as well as the Fields Medal, the highest award in mathematics, for “his contribu...

By India Today Web Desk: National Mathematics Day 2021: India has had a long legacy of extraordinary teachers and scholars who had immense knowledge of mathematics and astronomy. From discovering the concept of zero to calculating the correct days in a year, mathematicians in India have been at the forefront of challenging the norms as well as a thirst for knowledge. Aryabhata was born on 476 CE in Pataliputra which is present day Patna, Bihar. He is famous for putting out concepts like lunar eclipse and solar eclipse, rotation of Earth on its axis, a reflection of light by moon, the value of pi correct to 4 decimal places, the circumference of Earth to 99.8 per cent accuracy. His works include the famous Aryabhatiya which he wrote when he was just 23 years old. He influenced other future mathematicians and thinkers like Lalla, Bhaskara I, Brahmagupta, Varahamihira. Srinivasa Iyengar Ramanujan was born on December 22, 1887 in the present day Tamil Nadu, India. He is one of the most recognised Indian mathematicians although he had almost no formal training in pure mathematics. He is known for mathematical analysis, number theory, infinite series, and continued fractions, including solutions to mathematical problems considered to be unsolvable. Prasanta Chandra Mahalanobis was born on June 29, 1893 in Kolkata, West Bengal. A renowned Indian scientist and applied statistician he contributed the Mahalanobis distance, a statistical measure and for being one of the members of th...
