Extractions: Version for printing 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. Six works by Bhaskaracharya are known but a seventh work, which is claimed to be by him, is thought by many historians to be a late forgery. The six works are:

Bhaskara II was the lineal successor of the noted Indian mathematician Brahmagupta (598-c. 665) as head of an astronomical observatory at Ujjain, the leading mathematical centre of ancient India. In his mathematical works, particularly Lilavati ("The Beautiful") and Bijaganita ("Seed Counting"), he not only used the decimal system but also compiled problems from Brahmagupta and others. He filled many of the gaps in Brahmagupta's work, especially in obtaining a general solution to the Pell equation ( x py ) and in giving many particular solutions. Bhaskara II anticipated the modern convention of signs (minus by minus makes plus, minus by plus makes minus) and evidently was the first to gain some understanding of the meaning of division by zero, for he specifically stated that the value of is an infinite quantity, though his understanding seems to have been limited, for he also stated wrongly that

Extractions: Leading astronomers of this period were Aryabhata I (born A.D. 476), Varahamihira (6th century A.D.), Bhaskara I (born c. A.D. 600), Brahmagupta (born c. A.D. 598), and Bhaskara II (born A.D. 1114). Besides the compilation work of Varahamihira, the immortal works of this period were Aryabhatia (by Aryabhata I), Brahmasphuta-siddhanta (by Brahmagupta) and Siddhanta-Shiromani (by Bhaskara II). with the help of commentaries. By the age of 15 he mastered the rules for calculating the ephemerides (tables showing the positions of heavenly bodies at regular intervals in time) of the planets. While calculating the positions of the planets he found that neither the stars appeared on the horizon at the right moment nor could the planets be seen in the right places. He began to observe and calculate the movement of heavenly bodies night after night. At the age of 23 he began to note down systematically the results of his observations. The journal Knowledge which reviewed the book in 1899 wrote: Pathani Samanta made contributions to the following four important aspects of astronomy:

Extractions: India has had a hoary tradition in astronomy. During the Vedic times, and again through the fifth to twelfth century of the christian era, astronomy attained great heights in the country. The works of Aryabhatta I ( born 476 A.D.) Varahmihir ( died 587 A.D.), Brahmagupta (born 598 A.D.) and Bhaskara II ( born 1114 A.D.) are still looked upon with respect . A big effort towards the resurrection of that tradition was made in the early eighteenth century by Raja Sawai Jai Singh t o which the Jantar-Mantars established by him at Jaipur, Delhi and other places bear a testimony. The modern era of Indian astronomy started with the establishment of an astronomical observatory at Madras in 1792. Presently, India has several well known observatories. Among these Aryabhatta Research Institute of Observational Sciences ( ARIES ), M.K.V. Bappu Observatory and Japal- Rangapur Observatory are the optical observatries.GMRT Khodad and Udhagamandalam are the radio observatories while Gurushikhar is an infrared observatory. During the last four decades realising the urgent need in research in Astronomy, most of the premier reasearch institutes such as RRI Bangalore, ISRO Bangalore, IIA Bangalore, BARC Mumbai, TIFR Mumbai, NPL Delhi,PRL Ahmedabad and IUCCA Pune have included observational and theoretical reasearch in Astronomy, in their research programmes. The Aryabhatta Research Institute of Observational Sciences (ARIES) formally came into existence under the zodical sign of ARIES on march 22, 2004 as an autonomous institute under the Department of Science and Technology, Govt. of India, which is the reincarnation of the 50 years old State Observatory, Nainital that was first started from Varanasi in 1954 and was later shifted from the dust and haze of the plains to the excellent transparent skies of Nainital in 1955 and its present location at Manora Peak

Extractions: By D.P. Agrawal Bhaskaracarya was a mathematician-astronomer of exceptional abilities. He was born in 1114 AD. Mathematics became the hand-maiden of astronomy and, from the time of Aryabhata I, it began to be incorporated in astronomical treatises. Thus all components of mathematics came to be developed: geometry, trigonometry, arithmetic and algebra. The great astronomers had to be great mathematicians too. The great astronomer-mathematicians of the Siddhanta period, in a chronological order were: Aryabhata I, Varahamihira, Brahmagupta, Aryabhata II, Sripati, Bhaskara II (known popularly as Bhaskaracarya), Madhava, Paramesvara and Nilakantha. These great scientists, except the last three, grew in different parts of this vast sub-continent. Perhaps such isolated growth may explain the apparent abruptness in astronomical and mathematical development in India. Even before Bhaskara made his mark on Indian Jyotisa, there were three distinct schools, the Saura, the Arya and Brahma. Bhaskara was respected and studied even in distant corners of India. Bhaskara was perhaps the last and the greatest astronomer that India ever produced. Brahmagupta was Bhaskara's role model and inspirer. To Brahmagupta he pays homage at the beginning of his
