	Aryabhata - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Aryabhata (आर्यभट) Āryabhaṭa) is the first of the great astronomers of the classical age of India.
		Aryabhata gave the world the digit "0" (zero) for which he became immortal.
		This book is divided into four chapters: (i) the astronomical constants and the sine table (ii) mathematics required for computations (iii) division of time and rules for computing the longitudes of planets using eccentrics and epicycles (iv) the armillary sphere, rules relating to problems of trigonometry and the computation of eclipses.

		This is deduced from the usual arguments such as which authors Aryabhata II refers to and which refer to him.
		Aryabhata II also gave a method to calculate the cube root of a number, but his method was not new, being based on that given many years earlier by Aryabhata I, see for example [5].
		Aryabhata II constructed a sine table correct up to five decimal places when measured in decimal parts of the radius, see [4].

	Aryabhata's Contribution to Indian Mathematics (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-15)
		Aryabhata’s origin is not certain, but it is speculated that he lived in Kusumapura, a city that had, at the time, a thriving mathematical community.
		Aryabhata’s number system also traveled into the Muslim community at its peak in the seventh century, which is a testament to the possible flexibility of the representation of numbers.
		Aryabhata’s mathematical problems and ideas were approached in a genuinely unique way, and served as an inspiration for future mathematicians and astronomers to criticize, comment on, and supplement.

		Aryabhata is also known as Aryabhata I,wrote Aryabhatiya when he was twenty-three years old,which he finished in 499.
		Aryabhata uses the kuttaka (means "to pulverise") method, consisted of breaking the problem down into new problems where the coefficients became smaller and smaller with each step.
		Bhaskara is also known as Bhaskara II or as Bhaskaracharya, may be considered the high point of Indian mathematical knowledge in the 12th century.

		Aryabhata (Āryabhaṭa) is the first of the great astronomers of the classical age of India.
		What is surprising is that elsewhere, Aryabhata does not use this value, but instead uses the square root of 10 ≈ 3.1622.
		Aryabhata does not explain how he found this accurate value.

	The Aryabhatiya: Foundations of Indian Mathematics \| Gongol.com
		In light of this, some scholars suggest that Aryabhata intended for his Aryabhatiya to be a commentary on previous mathematicians and astronomers or possibly a skeletal outline of his small contributions to the canon of knowledge (Srinivasiengar 42).
		Aryabhata goes on to provide methods for finding square roots and cube roots (tasks that would be far more difficult prior to the development of a place value system).
		Aryabhata was not the first Indian mathematician to display that he could find square roots - Jain mathematicians had shown great proficiency at this before him - but the Aryabhatiya is the oldest extant work which provides a method for finding square roots.

	ARYABHATA (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-15)
		Aryabhata (??????) Aryabha?a) is the first of the great astronomers of the classical age of India.
		He was born in 476 AD in Ashmaka but later lived in Kusumapura, which his commentator Bhaskara I (629 AD) identifies with Patilputra (modern Patna).
		His book, the Aryabhatiya, presented astronomical and mathematical theories in which the Earth was taken to be spinning on its axis and the periods of the planets were given with respect to the sun (in other words, it was heliocentric).

	An Overview - IndianMaths (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-15)
		Although the period after the decline of the Vedic religion up to the time of Aryabhata I around 500 AD used to be considered as a dark period in Indian mathematics, recently it has been recognised as a time when many mathematical ideas were considered.
		Of the methods taught by Aryabhata and demonstrated by his scholiast Bhaskara I, some are based on comparison of similar right-angled plane triangles, and others are derived from inference.
		This school would have the study of the works of Aryabhata as their main concern and certainly Bhaskara was commentator on the mathematics of Aryabhata.

		Mathematics became the hand-maiden of astronomy and, from the time of Aryabhata I, it began to be incorporated in astronomical treatises.
		The great astronomer-mathematicians of the Siddhanta period, in a chronological order were: Aryabhata I, Varahamihira, Brahmagupta, Aryabhata II, Sripati, Bhaskara II (known popularly as Bhaskaracarya), Madhava, Paramesvara and Nilakantha.
		The period between Aryabhata I and Bhaskara II was the golden age of Indian Jyotisa.

	Indian mathematics
		Aryabhata headed a research centre for mathematics and astronomy at Kusumapura in the northeast of the Indian subcontinent.
		The main mathematicians of the tenth century in India were Aryabhata II and Vijayanandi, both adding to the understanding of sine tables and trigonometry to support their astronomical calculations.
		Following Bhaskara II there was over 200 years before any other major contributions to mathematics were made on the Indian subcontinent.

		Aryabhata was the Kulpati of the university of Nalanda.
		Raja-Raja Nerendra of Rajamahendry got it translated into Telgu by one Pavuturi Mallana in the 11th century A.D. Mahaveera occupied a pivotal position between his predecessors (Aryabhata I, Bhaskaracarya I and Brahmagupta) and successors (Sridhara, Aryabhata II and Bhaskaracarya II).

		The Kerala-born genius Aryabhata was the first human being to explain, in 499 A.D., that the daily rotation of the earth on its axis is what accounted for the daily rising and setting of the sun.
		He even estimated the value of the year at 365 days, six hours, 12 minutes and 30 seconds; in this he was only a few minutes off (the correct figure is just under 365 days and six hours).
		If Aryabhata was a giant of world science, his successors as the great Indian astronomers, Varamahira and Brahmagupta, have left behind vitally important texts that space does not allow me to summarise here.
