Baudhayana, in his Sulba Sutra (c. 800 BCE), provided the value of pi as approximately 3.09, making him one of the earliest Indian mathematicians to calculate this mathematical constant. While later mathematicians like Aryabhata and Madhava provided more accurate values, Baudhayana's work represents one of the earliest recorded approximations.
