    Extractions: A Hindu astronomer and mathematician whose surviving masterpiece, Aryabhatiya , written in verse, contains one of the earliest treatments of algebra and some remarkably advanced astronomical knowledge. It argues that the planets move in elliptical paths, the apparent rotation of the heavens is due to Earth’s axial rotation, and the Moon and planets shine by reflected sunlight. Aryabhata also correctly explained the causes of solar and lunar eclipses - improving upon the then-popular Indian belief that eclipses were the work of a demon called Rahu - and gave a value for the length of the year that is just a few hours longer than the one accepted today.

    Extractions: ACI Math Department Home Page Aryabhata (475 A.D. -550 A.D.) is the first well known Indian mathematician. Born in Kerala, he completed his studies at the university of Nalanda. We know the year of Aryabhata's birth since he tells us that he was twenty-three years of age when he wrote Aryabhatiya which he finished in 499. there have been numerous other places proposed by historians as his birthplace. Some conjecture that he was born in south India, perhaps Kerala, Tamil Nadu or Andhra Pradesh, while others conjecture that he was born in the north-east of India, perhaps in Bengal. However, giving Asmaka as Aryabhata's birthplace rests on a comment made by Nilakantha Somayaji in the late 15th century. It is now thought by most historians that Nilakantha confused Aryabhata with Bhaskara I who was a later commentator on the Aryabhatiya. We should note that Kusumapura became one of the two major mathematical centers of India, the other being Ujjain. Pataliputra, being the capital of the Gupta empire at the time of Aryabhata, was the center of a communications network which allowed learning from other parts of the world to reach it easily, and also allowed the mathematical and astronomical advances made by Aryabhata and his school to reach across India and also eventually into the Islamic world.

    Extractions: Aryabhata was the first to expound that the Earth is round and days and nights are caused because the Earth rotates around its axis. He also rightly explained about the occurrence of the eclipses. According to the Hindu Mythology, solar and lunar eclipses occur because "Rahu" gobbled up the moon and the sun. But he said the eclipses transpired due to the shadows cast by the Earth and the Moon.

    Extractions: Main Dr. Subhash Kak has started a new column in Rediff. In his first article, India's schoolbook histories he writes about the Kerala school of Mathematics The astronomers Aryabhata and Bhaskara may be familiar to some from the eponymous spacecrafts of the Indian Space Organization. Aryabhata (500 AD) took the earth to spin on its axis and he described the planet periods with reference to the sun. He also took the solar system to be several hundred million miles across. In all of these things he was ahead of the rest of the world by more than a thousand years. Bhaskara (12th century) was a brilliant mathematician. The last two names belong to the amazing Kerala school of mathematics and astronomy. There is more Three British historians have recently suggested that Kerala mathematics may have provided key ideas for the scientific revolution in Europe. The need for clocks to keep accurate time on ships became of critical importance after the colonisation of America. There were significant financial rewards for new navigation techniques. These historians argue that information was sought from India due to the prestige of the eleventh century Arabic translations of Indian navigational methods. They suggest that Jesuit missionaries were the intermediaries in the diffusion of Kerala mathematical ideas into Europe.

    Extractions: The publication of De revolutionibus orbium coelestium, libri VI (On the Revolutions of the Celestial Spheres) in 1543 by Nicolaus Copernicus changed the concept of the heavens for the Western world. No longer was earth the centre of cosmos. Copernicus was born Miko l aj Kopernik on February 19, 1473 at Torun in eastern Poland. He was not happy with the Ptolemic system of astronomy and postulated the heliocentric system. The work was not published till his death. A copy of the great work is believed to have been brought to Copernicus at Frauenburg on the last day of his life, May 24, 1543. Nicolaus Copernicus was honoured by India with the issue of the postage stamp on 21 July 1973.

    Extractions: Volver a la página principal Aryabhata nació en la India en 476, y en 499 terminó su trabajo Aryabhatiya , un resumen de matemática hindú escrito en verso. Sus estudios concernieron sobre astronomía, aritmética, álgebra y trigonometría del plano. Dió fórmulas correctas para calcular las áreas de un triángulo y un círculo. También trató sobre ecuaciones cuadráticas, sumas de serie y una tabla de senos. Dió una aproximación exacta para Pi (equivalente a 3,1416) y fue uno de los primeros en tratar el álgebra en forma profunda. Aryabhata también escribió en el Siddhanta, sobre astronomía y expuso que la rotación clara de los cielos era debida a la rotación de la tierra. Indicó también el radio de las órbitas planetarias en términos del radio de la órbita de la tierra alrededor del sol. Asegura también que la luna y otros planteas brillan por la luz del sol reflejada e increíblemente indica que la órbita de los planetas son elipses. Indica la longitud del año como 365 días, 6 horas, 12 minutos y 30 segundos.
