Write in your own words about the achievements of Aryabhatta in 100-150 words.
Answers
Aryabhatta was born in 476CE in Patliputra in Magadha, (modern Patna) in Bihar. He was the great mathematician-astronomer from the classical age of Indian mathematics and Indian astronomy. He is the man who invented “0” and helped the world solving its many issues. It is believed that Aryabhatta was born in region between Narmada and Godavri of central India. But exactly nothing is known about his birth place.
Education
According to some researches and studies it was found that at some point of time, Aryabhatta went to Kusumapura for advanced studies and lived there. He studied both Hindu as well as Buddhist tradition there. It is believed that Aryabhatta might have been the head of the Nalanda University, as it had an astronomical observatory at the time. Aryabhatta set up an observatory at the Sun temple in Taregana, Bihar.
Career
Aryabhatta’s major work is comprises of Mathematics and Astronomy. Most of the Aryabhatta’s work can be known from Aryabhatiya. His work in mathematics and astronomy is extensively referred in Indian mathematic literature and able to be part of modern mathematics also. If we see the mathematical section of Aryabhatiya , we will see his work in arithmetic, algebra, plane trigonometry and spherical trigonometry. Along with these major sections of mathematics it also contains the work done by him in continued fraction, quadratic equations, sums-of-power series and sine tables.
The Aryabhatiya also contains description of various astronomy instruments invented by Aryabhatta like 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. He also described the Motion of Solar System, details of Eclipses, Sidereal Rotation periods and Heliocentrism.
It is also believed that some of the Aryabhatta’s work of that time is lost.
At the End
Aryabhatta passed away in 550 CE. He was 74 years at the time. But exact locations of his last period of life and whereabouts are still unknown to the world.

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.
The earth rotates around the sun in it's axis has been discovered by Aryabhatta. Before this discovery, everyone were having a myth that, the sun rotates around the Earth. This invention is very helpful for this world. India has given a lot of contribution in the Astronomy and Mathematics. This had helped a lot to India to achieve and develop in Science and Technology.
