2. Introduction-
Indian mathematics emerged in the Indian subcontinent
from 1200 BCE until the end of the 18th century. In the
classical period of Indian mathematics (400 CE to 1200
CE), important contributions were made by scholars like
Aryabhatta, Brahmagupta, Bhaskara II, and Varāhamihira.
The decimal number system in use today was first
recorded in Indian mathematics.Indian mathematicians
made early contributions to the study of the concept of
zero as a number negative numbers, arithmetic, and
algebra.
3. Aryabhatta-King of Indian
Mathematics
Aryabhatta made several contributions to
Mathematics inventions and theories. Due to
his significant contribution and achievement
in mathematics, he is also called The King of
Indian Mathematics. Some of the important
discoveries he made in the mathematics field
are:
The place value system and zero
Trigonometry
Algebra
Approximation of pi π
Indeterminate equations
4. Brahmagupta
Brahmagupta was one of the famous
Indian mathematicians and astronomers.
He was the first mathematician who
described Zero and Negative Numbers. He
wrote two leading books on mathematics
and astronomy in the Sanskrit language: '
led 'Brahmasphutasiddhanta' and
'Khandakhadyaka'.Brahmagupta (ad 628)
was the first mathematician to provide the
formula for the area of a cyclic
quadrilateral. His contributions to
geometry are significant. He is the first
person to discuss the method of finding a
cyclic quadrilateral with rational sides.
5. Ramanujan
Srinivasa Ramanujan FRS was an Indian
mathematician. Though he had almost no
formal training in pure mathematics, he
made substantial contributions to
mathematical analysis, number theory,
infinite series, and continued fractions,
including solutions to mathematical problems
then considered unsolvable.
Infinite series for pi: In 1914, Ramanujan
found a formula for infinite series for pi,
which forms the basis of many algorithms
used today. Finding an accurate
approximation of π (pi) has been one of the
most important challenges in the history of
mathematics.
6. Shakuntala Devi
She was known as ‘Human Computer’ after
she projected her talents in the BBC channel
hosted by Leslie Mitchell on October 5, 1950.
However, she never liked this title. She said,
human mind has incomparably much
capabilities than the computer and it is not
appropriate to compare human mind with
Shakuntala Devi attained universal fame
when she demonstrated her ability to
multiply two random numbers of 13 digits.
She could mentally multiple
7,686,369,774,870 × 2,465,099,745,779 on
18 June 1980 and gave the correct answer as
18,947,668,177,995,426,462,773,730 within
just 28 seconds.
7. C.R.Rao
C R Rao is credited with developing several
statistical techniques, including the Cramer-
Rao inequality, which is used to bound the
variance of any unbiased estimator. He also
developed the Rao-Blackwell theorem,
which provides a means for transforming an
estimate into a better — in fact, an
optimal—estimate.
CR Rao awarded math 'Nobel Prize': The
accolade, which comes with a reward of
$80,000, will be given to Rao, who is
currently 102 years old, in July during the
biennial World Statistics Congress of the
International Statistical Institute in Ottawa,
Ontario, Canada.
