Shreeram Shankar Abhyankar mathematician, known for his work in algebraic
geometry andAbhyankar's conjecture
Sir M. Visvesvaraya
Aryabhatta is the author of several treatises onmathematics and astronomy, some of which are lost. His
major work, Aryabhatiya, a compendium of mathematics and astronomy, was extensively referred to in
the Indian mathematical literature and has survived to modern times. The mathematical part of
the Aryabhatiya covers arithmetic, algebra, plane trigonometry, and spherical trigonometry. It also
contains continued fractions, quadratic equations, sums-of-power series, and a table of sines.
The Arya-siddhanta, a lost work on astronomical computations, is known through the writings of
Aryabhata's contemporary, Varahamihira, and later mathematicians and commentators,
including Brahmagupta and Bhaskara I. This work appears to be based on the olderSurya Siddhanta and
uses the midnight-day reckoning, as opposed to sunrise inAryabhatiya. It also contained a description of
several astronomical instruments: thegnomon (shanku-yantra), a shadow instrument (chhAyA-yantra),
possibly angle-measuring devices, semicircular and circular (dhanur-yantra / chakra-yantra), a cylindrical
stick yasti-yantra, an umbrella-shaped device called thechhatra-yantra, and water clocks of at least two
types, bow-shaped and cylindrical.[3]
A third text, which may have survived in theArabic translation, isAlntforAl-nanf. It claims that it is a
translation by Aryabhata, but the Sanskrit name of this work is not known. Probably dating from the 9th
century, it is mentioned by the Persian scholar and chronicler of India,Ab Rayhn al-Brn.[3]
