Aryabhata (476-550 AD) was born in Magadha Patliputra modern Patna in Bihar. Many people are of the opinion that at the time he was born in the southern Indian Kerala in particular, lived in Magadha Gupta rulers; time, which is called the golden age of India. There is no evidence that he was born outside Patliputra and traveled to Magadha, the center of education and learning studies, where he also set up in the middle of a workout. The first is called “Arya” is hardly the southern Indian name while “Bhatt” (or Bhatta) of a typical North Indian name is found today, especially among the ‘Bania’ (or merchant) community.
Whatever it is derived, can not be said that he lived in Patliputra where he composed his famous treatise on “Aryabhata-Siddhanta,” but more famous for “Aryabhatiya,” the only work that survived. It contains the mathematical and astronomical theories has turned out to be quite accurate modern mathematics. For example, he wrote that if you add 4 to 100, and then divided by 62,000 multiplied by 8 20000 answers we will be equal to the circumference of a circle with a diameter twenty thousand. It calculates the 3.1416 close to the actual value Pi (3.14159). But the biggest contribution will be zero. His other works in algebra, algebra, trigonometry, quadratic equations and the sine table.
already knew that the earth rotates on its axis, the earth moves around the sun, and the moon revolves around the Earth. He talks about the situation regarding the movement of the planets around the sun. He suggests that the light from the planets and the moon as a reflection of the sun. He goes so far as to explain the eclipse of the moon and sun, day and night, the contours of the land, the length of the year, exactly 365 days.
even calculated the circumference of the earth 24 835 miles, which is near the present-day calculation of 24900 miles.
This remarkable man was a genius, and remains puzzled many mathematicians today. His works will be accepted by the Greeks and the Arabs later.
