3. Introduction
Hello !
I’m Pushpanvitha from 8th
standard . Today I’m speaking
about a famous mathematician ,
“ BHASKARACHARYA”

Baskara is also known as Bhaskara [or]
Bhaskaracharya , this later name means
“Baskara the teacher”. Baskara was an Indian
mathematician and astronomer who extended
Brahmagupta ‘s work on number system He was
born near Bijjada biddha [in present day day
called Bijapur district Karnataka state ] into the
Brahmin family , his father Maheshvara was the
person who taught him about astronomy as he
was an Ujjain the leading mathematical center of ancient
India

 He was most likely the first to use a circle for the Zero
for the Hindu Arabic Decimal System .
 He is Considered to be a follower of aryabhatta and
one of the most renowned scholars of the Aryabhatta ‘s
astronical school .
 Bhaskara wrote the Aryabhatiya bhasya which is
commentry on Aryabhatta .
 Baskara commented only on the 33 verses of the
Aryabhatiya which is about Mathematics , Astronomy ,
and discuss the Promblems of the first degree of

 After Bhaskaracharya nobody could write excellent books on
mathematics and astronomy in lucid language in India
 Lilawati is excellent example of how a difficult subject like
mathematics can be written in poetic language
 Lilawati was translated in many languages throught the world

10. BHASKARACHARYA’S ACHIEVEMENTS
 When British empire became paramount in india , they
established 3 universities in 1857 , at Bombay , Calcutta

India from Bhaskaracharya’s Lilawathi ,Beejaganitha , and
other textbooks has enjoyed such a long lifespan

11. BHASKARACHARYA’S ACHIEVEMENTS

koti [10^7]
