Bhaskaracharya, also known as Bhaskara, was a prominent Indian mathematician and astronomer born in Karnataka in the 12th century. He is renowned for his works, including 'Siddhanta Siromani,' which encompasses significant mathematical concepts and astronomy, and he is cited as an early discoverer of gravity. His contributions to mathematics and the promotion of these subjects through poetic language in texts like 'Lilavati' have left a lasting impact on education in India.

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

4. LET’SKNOWSOMEINFOABOUTBHASKARACHARYA
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

6. BHASKARACHARYA ‘S ACHIEVEMENTS
 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
intermediate Equation and trignometric formula .
 He has called him “ Ganakchakra chudamani “ whichmeans
“ A gem among all caluculaters of Astronomical
Phenomena”.

7. BHASKARACHARYA’S

 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
 In english , cardinal numbers are only in multiples of

koti [10^7]
