Mathematicians and their
Contributions

It is essential to know about the ancient,


medieval and modern time Indian
mathematicians and their contribution to
Science and Mathematics. Ancient Indian
mathematicians have contributed immensely to
the field of mathematics. The invention of zero
is attributed to Indians and this contribution
outweighs all other made by any other nation
since it is the basis of the decimal number
system, without which no advancement in
mathematics would have been possible. The
number system used today was invented by
Indians and it is still called Indo-Arabic
numerals because Indians invented them, and
the Arab merchants took them to the western
world.

Page 6 of 17
 He is also known as Bhaskaracharya.
 He was born in 1114.
 He was the one who acknowledged that any number
divided by zero is infinity and that the sum of any
number and infinity is also infinity.
 The famous book “Siddhanta Siromani” was written
by him.

astronomers from the classical age.
 Aryabhaṭiya and Arya-Siddhanta were his known works.
 He worked on the ‘place value system’ using letters to signify
numbers and stating qualities.
