	Bhaskaracharya
		Bhaskara was born in 1114 A.D. according to a statement he recorded in one of his own works.
		Bhaskara wrote his famous Siddhanta Siroman in the year 1150 A.D. It is divided into four parts; Lilavati (arithmetic), Bijaganita (algebra), Goladhyaya (celestial globe), and Grahaganita (mathematics of the planets).
		Much of Bhaskara's work in the Lilavati and Bijaganita was derived from earlier mathematicians; hence it is not surprising that Bhaskara is best in dealing with indeterminate analysis.

		Bhaskara's treatment of the mathematics of the zero is remarkable for the undoubted realisation that any quantity divided by zero is infinity (termed Khahara or Khahara having zero as divisor) and for the implied concept of the infinitestimal.
