The introduction of Aryabhatta to the world happened through his remarkable work in the field of mathematics and astronomy. Aryabhata is one of the most renowned Indian Mathematicians, in fact, one of the firsts. Born in the Gupta era that is during the rule of the Gupta Dynasty in 475 CE in Kusumapura, Pataliputra, he was known for his extraordinary knowledge in the astronomical field. He has written many treaties in both mathematics and astronomy. He was also the author of many mathematical books which to date is considered holy and reverend immensely. Many of his works were lost, but some are still available for modern scholars and hold great credibility. And his inventions, discoveries and contributions have brought pride to our country. It has also inspired many budding scientists to follow his path and make discoveries. On this page, we will learn about Aryabhatta's biography and his groundbreaking contributions to mathematics and astronomy, which continue to influence modern

The Father of Indian Mathematics
Aryabhatta, also known as the father of Indian Mathematics, was a renowned astronomer and mathematician of the ancient times of India. Aryabhatta contributed significant work in science and mathematics and concluded theories of earth rotation on its axis, approximation of pie (π) place value system of zero, trigonometry, and many others.
One of his famous works is Aryabhatiya, a magnum opus written in the Sanskrit language and the only known surviving work of Indian mathematician Aryabhata from the fifth century. His work includes the Arya-Siddhanta, a lost treatise on astronomical calculations, Varahamihira, Bhaskara, and Brahmagupta. The discoveries made by the Aryabhatta were impactful. Aryabhatta gained worldwide recognition as a legendary mathematician.
Let us look at the detailed life of Aryabhatta, his contribution to Mathematics and Astronomy, and his background, qualification, and legacy.
