This document provides a presentation on notable Indian mathematicians. It introduces mathematics and its origins in ancient Indian literature. Then, it profiles 5 great Indian mathematicians - Aryabhata, Bhaskara, Brahmagupta, Srinivasa Ramanujan, and P.C. Mahalanobis - and highlights their key contributions, such as Aryabhata establishing the number system and approximations of pi, Brahmagupta recognizing zero as a number, and Ramanujan's contributions to analytical number theory despite failing school. It concludes that Indian mathematicians made great advances in arithmetic, algebra, geometry, and calculus that influenced mathematics worldwide.

3. INTRODUCTION
• Mathematics is the science which deals with the logic of quantity, shape, and arrangement. Undeniably,
math is all around us, in fact in everything we do. It wouldn’t be wrong to say, math is the building block
for everything in our daily life period. Money, sports, architecture (ancient and modern), television,
mobile devices, and even art, all of it has some mathematical concepts involved in it.In India,
mathematics has its origins in Vedic literature which is nearly four thousand years old. It should come as
no surprise that the concept of number ‘0’ was discovered in India; also, various treatises on
mathematics were authored by Indian mathematicians. The techniques of trigonometry, algebra,
algorithm, square root, cube root, negative numbers, and the most significant decimal system are
concepts which were discovered by Indian mathematician from ancient India and are employed
worldwide even today.Indian geniuses have made revolutionary changes in the world of mathematics;
let’s find who they are and what exactly did they contribute to the world!

4. • Here is a list of the Five Great Indian Mathematicians
and Their Contributions
1. ARYABHATA
2. BHASKARA
3. BRAHAMAGUPTA
4. SRINIVASA RAMANUJAN
5. P. C. MAHALANOBIS

5. .ARYABHATA
• Aryabhatta is a name to remember from ancient
India as an unrivaled teacher with vast knowledge.
Math, astronomy, and science were just a few of
the subjects that he was well-versed in. He wrote
the “Aryabhatiya,” a comprehensive treatise that
covered a wide range of integral topics in
mathematics, such as trigonometry and algebra.
He was the first to give an approximation of the
value of pi and to make various other
mathematical deductions. His contribution to
mathematics was unprecedented as the founder of
the Number system, and he is thus ranked in our
list of most famous Indian mathematicians.

6. BHASKARA
• BhaskaraBhaskara is a well-known Indian
mathematician from ancient times. Bhaskara was a
revered astronomer as well as a doyen of
mathematics. He made significant discoveries in
both fields. In order to make life easier and more
scientific, he delved into the number system and
devised simple formulas for squaring and
multiplying numbers. His work had a significant
impact on the evolution of the number system
over time. Bhaskara, a creator at heart, is credited
with laying the foundations of mathematics in
India through his significant work.

7. BRAHMAGUPTA.
• BrahmaguptaThis polymath is another well-known
Indian mathematician who is well-known around
the world for his contributions to the fields of
geometry and number theory. His most significant
contribution was his recognition of zero as a
number, which was a novel concept in ancient
mathematics. He established all of the rules and
conventions surrounding the use of zero as a
number. His ground-breaking revolution resulted in
the development of the current form of
mathematics’ number system. He proved
Brahmagupta’s theorem for cyclic quadrilaterals, a
major discovery at the time.

8. .SRINIVASA RAMANUJAN.
• Srinivasa RamanujanRamanujan, the mathematical genius,
taught himself math after failing to pass the English subject
in high school. His contributions to the analytical theory of
numbers, elliptic functions, continued fractions, and
infinite series are well-known. On his set of 120 theorems
that he sent to Cambridge, he was also invited to England.
He taught a more important lesson in that failure isn’t
permanent because he didn’t let his failure discourage him
and instead continued to teach himself mathematics,
which he loved. Many mathematicians, not just in India
but all over the world, have been inspired by him.

9. P.C. MAHALANOBIS.
• P.C MahalanobisPrasanta Chandra Mahalanobis, known as the
“Father of Indian Statistics,” is a well-known Indian
mathematician whose contributions to the field of statistics are
legendary. His contribution to statistics, which includes the
development of the concept of pilot and large-scale surveys,
has earned him a place among India’s greatest mathematicians.
The Mahalanobis model was also used in the second five-year
plan, which focused on industrialization. P.C Mahalanobis, also
known as the “Father of Indian Statistics,” founded the Indian
Institute of Statistical Science. The 29th of June is designated as
National Statistics Day in his honor, in recognition of his
extraordinary contributions to Statistics as a major branch of
mathematics.

10. CONCLUSION
• Indian mathematicians made great strides in developing arithmetic (they can generally be credited with
perfecting use of the operators), algebra (before Arab scholars), geometry (independent of the Greeks),
and infinite series expansions and calculus (attributed to 17th/18th century European scholars). Also
Indian works, through a variety of translations, have had significant influence throughout the world,
from China, throughout the Arab Empire, and ultimately Europe.
