Aryabhata (IAST: Āryabhaṭa) or Aryabhata I[2][3] (476–550 CE)[4][5] was the first of the majormathematician-astronomers from the classical age of Indian mathematics and Indian astronomy. His works include the Āryabhaṭīya (499 CE, when he was 23 years old)[6] and the Arya-siddhanta.

The Arya-siddhanta, a lost work on astronomical computations, is known through the writings of Aryabhata's contemporary, Varahamihira, and later mathematicians and commentators, including Brahmagupta and Bhaskara I. This work appears to be based on the older Surya Siddhanta and uses the midnight-day reckoning, as opposed to sunrise in Aryabhatiya. It also contained a description of several astronomical instruments: the gnomon (shanku-yantra), a shadow instrument (chhAyA-yantra), possibly angle-measuring devices, semicircular and circular (dhanur-yantra / chakra-yantra), a cylindrical stick yasti-yantra, an umbrella-shaped device called the chhatra-yantra, and water clocks of at least two types, bow-shaped and cylindrical.[8]
A third text, which may have survived in the Arabic translation, is Al ntf or Al-nanf. It claims that it is a translation by Aryabhata, but the Sanskrit name of this work is not known.
Probably dating from the 9th century, it is mentioned by the Persian scholar and chronicler of India, Abū Rayhān al-Bīrūnī.[8]

Aryabhatta is a first Indian Mathematician-astronomer. Due to his major and helpful inventions, he is also known as Physicist. One of his major discovery is the "discovery of pi value". The π (pi) which we generally use for doing mathematical calculation. The value of pi which we have accepted is 62832/20000 = 3.1416. This value was found by Aryabhatta.
He is one of the greatest Astronomer and Mathematician of India. The first unmanned Indian mission was named as "Aryabhatta" in the memory of Aryabhatta. Aryabhatta is to be said from the Indian state Kerala. He had done a lot of inventions and discoveries which has really helpful to the world a lot.
Additional information:
- Aryabhatta was born on 476 AD at patliputra.
- Aryabhatta was died on 500 AD.
