● Astronomical Calculations – Determined Earth’s circumference and
explained its rotation on its axis.
● Aryabhatiya – His famous work covering mathematics, algebra,
trigonometry, and astronomy.

6. ● Born in 598 CE at Bhillamala
(present-day Bhinmal, Rajasthan)
● Renowned Indian mathematician and
astronomer of the 7th century
● Authored the famous work
“Brahmasphutasiddhanta” in 628 CE
● Introduced rules for operations
involving zero and negative numbers
● Made significant contributions to
geometry, algebra, and astronomy
:- Genius of Geometry & Algebra

7. Brahmagupta Timeless Contribution

● Negative Numbers – Introduced and explained their operations.
● Algebra – Solved quadratic equations and progressions systematically.
● Geometry & Mensuration – Gave formulas for cyclic quadrilaterals and
solids.
● Astronomy – Refined planetary calculations and eclipse descriptions.
● Brahmasphutasiddhanta – Landmark text on math and astronomy.

8. Srnivasa Ramanujan :- The Man Who knew Infinity
● Born in 1887 in Erode, Tamil Nadu, India.
● Displayed exceptional mathematical
talent
from childhood.
● Largely self-taught, learning advanced
concepts from old textbooks.
● Went to Cambridge University in 1914
to work with G.H. Hardy.

● Classified and studied Highly Composite Numbers

10. Mahavira :- Visionary Of Medieval Mathematics
● Mahāvīra was a renowned Indian
mathematician of the 9th century CE.
● He was born in Karnataka and belonged
to the Jain tradition.
● He is best known as the author of the
text “Ga itasārasa graha.”
ṇ ṅ
● His work reflects the rich mathematical
culture of ancient India.
● Mahāvīra is remembered as one of the
pioneers of systematic mathematics.

11. Mahavira’s Timeless Contribution
● Authored Ga itasārasa graha around 850 CE.
ṇ ṅ
● Formalized rules for zero, fractions, and negatives.
● Provided methods to solve quadratic equations.
● Described permutations, combinations, and series.
● Contributed to geometry and measurement of shapes.
● Inspired later Indian mathematicians.

12. Conclusion
