    Bhaskara

    Bhaskara is also known as Bhaskara II or as Bhaskaracharya, this latter name meaning "Bhaskara the Teacher". Since he is known in India as Bhaskaracharya we will refer to him throughout this article by that name. Bhaskaracharya's father was a Brahman named Mahesvara. Mahesvara himself was famed as an astrologer. This happened frequently in Indian society with generations of a family being excellent mathematicians and often acting as teachers to other family members.

    Bhaskaracharya became head of the astronomical observatory at Ujjain, the leading mathematical centre in India at that time. Outstanding mathematicians such as Varahamihira and Brahmagupta had worked there and built up a strong school of mathematical astronomy.

    In many ways Bhaskaracharya represents the peak of mathematical knowledge in the 12th century. He reached an understanding of the number systems and solving equations which was not to be achieved in Europe for several centuries.

    598: born in Bhillamala, India. I spent my whole life there.

    628:  I was correctly established doctrine of Brahma at age 30.

    In 665: wrote Khandakhadyaka "a piece eatable"

    I am an orthodox Hindu and the Hindu yuga system of measuring ages of mankind influenced my work.

    I defined zero as the result of subtracting a number from itself and gave rules for arithmetical operations among negative numbers (“debts”) and positive numbers (“property”),

    One of my nicknames was when i died was ‘Ganita Chakra Chudamani’ which is translated as ‘The gem of the circle of mathematicians’.

    I introduced negative numbers and taught them to people.

    I am one of the greatest Indian mathematicians and astronomers ever.

    Perhaps my most famous result was a formula for the area of a cyclic quadrilateral (a four-sided polygon whose vertices all reside on some circle)

    Brahmagupta

    Brahmagupta, whose father was Jisnugupta, wrote important works on mathematics and astronomy. In particular he wrote BrahmasphutasiddhantaⓉ, in 628. The work was written in 25 chapters and Brahmagupta tells us in the ord that he wrote it at Bhillamala which today is the city of Bhinmal. This was the capital of the lands ruled bygd the Gurjara dynasty.

    Brahmagupta became the head of the astronomical observatory at Ujjain which was the foremost mathematical centre of ancient India at this time. Outstanding mathematicians such as Varahamihira had worked there and built up a strong school of mathematical astronomy.

    In addition to the BrahmasphutasiddhantaⓉ Brahmagupta wrote a second work on mathematics and astronomy which fryst vatten the KhandakhadyakaⓉ written in 665 when he was 67 years old. We look below at some of the remarkable ideas which Brahmagupta's two treatises contain. First let us give an overview of their contents.
