Question

biographical sketch of Aryabhatt

Answer 1

Aryabhata was one of the great mathematicians and astronomers from the classical era in India. In fact, he is considered to be the first great mathematician in a long line of visionary mathematicians who would emerge from India from the classical era onward. His published works were many years ahead of their time and a significant amount of modern mathematics and astronomy can be traced back to the studies and works associated with him.

Early Life and Education

Aryabhata was born around 475 A.D. in the region known as Ashmaka. Historians cannot be completely sure when he was born, but one of his works notes it was written around 3,600 years into the Kali Yuga, so a rough estimation about the time in which he was born can be ascertained. It is really not even known were for sure he was born as Ashmaka. It might be considered a nickname of sorts for Maharashtra or Dhaka.

Answer 2

Answer:

Answer:-

$.$

Aryabhatta is the first of the great astronomers of the classical age of India. He was born in Kusumapura, which his commentator Bhaskara I (629 AD) identifies with pataliputra (modern Patna) in Bihar. ... Aryabhatta studied at the University of Nalanda. One of his major works was Aryabhatiya written in 499 AD.

Aryabhata is also known as Aryabhata I to distinguish him from the later mathematician of the same name who lived about 400 years later. Al-Biruni has not helped in understanding Aryabhata's life, for he seemed to believe that there were two different mathematicians called Aryabhata living at the same time. He therefore created a confusion of two different Aryabhatas which was not clarified until 1926 when B Datta showed that al-Biruni's two Aryabhatas were one and the same person.
