ARYABHATT (476 CE)

He is a Mathematician and master of Astronomy born in 476 CE in

Kusumpur (Bihar), Aryabhatt’s intellectual brilliance remapped the
boundaries of mathematics and astronomy. In 499 CE, at the age of
23, he wrote a text on astronomy and an unparallel treatise on
mathematics called ‘Aryabhatiyam.’ He formulated the process of
calculating the motion of planets and the time of eclipses. Aryabhatt
was the first to proclaim that the earth is round, it rotates on its axis,
orbits the sun and is suspended in space – 1000 years before
Copernicus published his heliocentric theory. He is also
acknowledged for calculating p (Pi) to four decimal places: 3.1416
and the sine table in trigonometry. Centuries later, in 825 CE, the
Arab mathematician, Mohammed Ibna Musa credited the value of Pi
to the Indians, ‘This value has been given by the Indians.’ And
above all, his most spectacular contribution was the concept of zero
without which modern computer technology would have been non-
existent. Aryabhatt was a colossus in the field of mathematics.
