Indian mathematician bhaskara 1 contribution

Works of Bhaskara i

Bhaskara i is famous for the following works:

1. Zero, positional arithmetic, the approximation of sine.

2. The three treatises he wrote on the works of Aryabhata (476–550 CE )

• The Mahabhaskariya (“Great Book of Bhaskara”)

• The Laghubhaskariya (“Small Book of Bhaskara”),

• The Aryabhatiyabhashya (629)

Zero, positional arithmetic, approximation of sine

One of the most important mathematical contributions is related to the representation of numbers in a positional system.

The first positional representations were known to Indian astronomers about 500 years ago before Bhaskaracharya, but the numbers were not written in figures, but in words, symbols or pictorial representations. For example, the number 1 was given as the moon, since there is only one moon.

The number 2 was represented anything in pairs; the number 5 could relate to the five
