Answer 1

1.
Srinivasa Ramanujan. Srinivasa Ramanujan, (born December 22, 1887, Erode, India—died April 26, 1920, Kumbakonam), Indian mathematician whose contributions to the theory of numbers include pioneering discoveries of the properties of the partition function.

2.
Aryabhatta is a renowned mathematician and astronomer of ancient India. He was born in 476 CE in Bihar. He studied at the University of Nalanda. One of his major works was Aryabhatiya written in 499 AD.

3.
Bhāskara, was an Indian mathematician and astronomer. He was born in Bijapur in Karnataka. Bhāskara and his works represent a significant contribution to mathematical and astronomical knowledge in the 12th century. 

4.
Brahmagupta was an Indian mathematician and astronomer. He is the author of two early works on mathematics and astronomy: the Brāhmasphuṭasiddhānta, a theoretical treatise, and the Khaṇḍakhādyaka, a more practical text.

5.
Calyampudi Radhakrishna Rao, FRS known as C R Rao is an Indian-American mathematician and statistician. He is currently professor emeritus at Pennsylvania State University and Research Professor at the University at Buffalo

Answer 2

SHAKUNTALA DEVI :-

Shakuntala had by the end of year 1944 moved to London thereby traveling across the world doing shows. After all the young prodigy was known to solve the most complex equations within seconds. So much so that the professor of psychology at California University, Arthur Jensen, had called her to the university in the year 1988 to study her exceptional capabilities.

ARYABHATTA :-

Aryabhata was a Scientist, Mathematician as well as an Astronomer. This is so because not only had he discovered that the Earth is spherical, which revolves around the Sun but also that the number of days in a year is 365.

P.C. MAHALANOBIS :-

Mahalanobis is best known for his Mahalanobis Distance or D2-statistic- measure of comparison between two different data sets. In simple words, it is a measurement used for studies in population distribution.

LORD MAHAVIRA :-

Mahavira made significant contributions in the field of algebra. The book written by him, Ganitasarasangraha, is composed of mathematical procedures such as basic operations, reductions of fractions, miscellaneous problems involving a linear or quadratic equation with one unknown, the rule of three (involving proportionality), mixture problems, geometric computations with plane figures, ditches (solids), and shadows (similar right-angled triangles).

BRAHMAGUPTA :-

Known also as Bhillamalacarya, the genius mathematician made immense contribution in the field of Arithmetic by not only explaining how to calculate cube and the cube-root of an integer but also providing rules for computation of square and square root. Brahmagupta could not complete the use of zero in calculations relating to division but he offered other calculations, such as (1 + 0 = 1; 1 - 0 = 1; and 1 x 0 =0), for using the digit zero.
