The place of birth of Sangamagrama Madhavan can be
known from the thirteenth sloka of his only surviving book,
Venuaroham, which runs as follows:
Bekuladhishtitatwena viharoyo visishyate
Grihanamanisoyam syannigenamanimadhava.
Madhavan belongs to the house described as the
bekuladhishtita vihar or in Malayalam Iranji (Bakulam) Ninna
Palli. Even to this date there is a house named Iringatappally
in Kallettunkara near Iringalakkuda. Ulloor describes
Sangamagrama Madhavan as belonging to Iringatappally house
in Sangama grama (village of Sagameswara, diety of Koodal
Manikya Temple-Iringalakkuda). From the writings of his
disciples, the period of his life time can be fixed as 1350 –1425,
three hundred years before the life time of Newton, Gregory
and Leibnitz

Explanation:
We know that one of the major contributions of Indian
mathematics is the concept of zero and the decimal number
system. One cannot pinpoint to any particular person to the
discovery of zero. The concept was prevalent during the Vedic
periods. Another important valuable contribution to the world of
mathematics is the concept of infinity imported to mathematics
credit of which goes to Sangamagrama Madhavan. He was able
to show that one can get a finite value by adding infinite terms
or a finite value can be expressed as infinite series. It is quite
interesting to note that both the concepts of zero and infinity are contributions of India which influenced the Indian systems
of philosophy to a great extent. Rudimentary concept of infinity
could have been there in the mind of Indian philosophers. That
is why we have the sloka in Isavasyopanishad:
Poornamada, poornamidam Poornad Pooranm udachate,
Poornasya poornamadaya Poornamevavasisshyate
meaning that is infinite, this is infinite; when infinity is
added to infinity, infinity remains and when infinity is taken
from infinity, infinity remains. This is true for zero also. No
wonder that Indians represents the infinite extension of the sky
with number zero in Bootasankhya representation of numbers.
Sangamagrama Madhavan was the pioneer to invent the infinite
series in trigonometry for sine and cosines of angles.
Madhavan used the infinite series formula to evaluate the
value of π correct to 11 decimal places 3.14159265359. Recent
studies show that calculus, an important branch of modern
mathematics, had originated in the Kerala School well before the
time of Newton and Leibnitz. In Jyestadeva’s Yukti Bhasha which
dates hundreds of years before the time of Newton and Leibnitz,
we find the formulae for integration and differentiation. It is said
that Yukti Bhasha is the first textbook in the world dealing with
calculus. Another wonderful contribution of Sangamagrama
Madhavan is his table for sine of an angle from 0–90 degrees at
an interval of 3.75 degrees. He was also an expert in spherical
geometry and was usually called ‘Golavid’ (an expert in Spherical
Geometry).
