Aryabhatta was a renowned ancient Indian mathematician and astronomer who made significant contributions to astronomy and mathematics.

Aryabhatta was a renowned Indian astronomer and mathematician who lived during the Gupta period, often associated with the reign of Chandragupta II (Vikramaditya).

Bhaskara work represents a significant contribution to mathematical and astronomical knowledge in the 12th century like the properties of zero, methods of multiplication, squaring, estimation of $\pi$ etc.

The Indian mathematician Aryabhatta provided a very accurate approximation for Pi in his work, the Aryabhatiya, calculating it as approximately 3.1416.

Siddhanta Shiromani (Crown of treatises) is the major treatise of Indian mathematician Bhāskaracharya II. He wrote the Siddhanta Shiromani in 1150 when he was 36 years old. The work is composed in the Sanskrit Language in 1450 verses.

Brahmaguptha who was born in 598 AD in Jalore of Rajasthan is an eminent mathematician and astronomer. His great works are ‘Brahmasfut Sidhanta’, ‘Khandkadyakam’ etc. His contributions were especially in the field of geometry.

Aryabhatta is widely recognized for his significant contributions to mathematics and astronomy in ancient India, including the concept of zero and place-value systems. While the term 'father of mathematics' is often debated globally, in the context of Indian curriculum, Aryabhatta is the standard answer.

Aryabhatta was the preeminent mathematician and astronomer of the Gupta period, famous for his work 'Aryabhatiya' and his contributions to the concept of zero and the solar system.

Aryabhatta was a pioneering Indian mathematician and astronomer who correctly theorized about the Earth's rotation.

Aryabhatta was an outstanding mathematician and astronomer of ancient India who wrote the "Aryabhatiya". He introduced concepts related to algebra, trigonometry, and the approximation of pi, distinguishing him from physicians like Charaka or poets like Kalidasa. Nagarjuna was primarily known for chemistry, metallurgy, and Buddhist philosophy.

G.H. Hardy was the Cambridge mathematician who recognized Ramanujan's genius after receiving a letter from him and subsequently invited him to England.
