Acharya Aryabhatt is known as the first great teacher of Indian mathematics and astronomy. He has succeeded in taking Indian mathematics and astronomy to a new higher level with his contributions.

 

Acharya Aryabhatt's major contribution is found in his treatise 'Aryabhatiya', which is a powerful collection of mathematical principles and astronomical facts. In this book, Acharya Aryabhatt has presented his unique theories for the movement of the Sun, Moon, and planets and their origin.

​

Acharya Aryabhatt's book 'Aryabhatiya' contains many verses in Sanskrit, which prove his excellent knowledge. One such verse is:

(Aryabhatiya, chapter 1, verse 1.3)

​

त्रिकोणस्याप्यनुष्ठाने योजनायां वचनात्मनः।

 

Meaning: The verse suggests that even in the practical application or study of triangles, express or quantify it in terms of yojanas. This could imply a mathematical or geometric context where measurements or calculations involving triangles are communicated using the unit of yojanas.

 

The direct influence of Acharya Aryabhatt's texts and principles is visible even in today's era. His astronomical theories have helped in understanding the solar system and the motion of the planets. His graphing principles have improved social and economic calculations mathematically.

​

Acharya Aryabhatt's contribution shows us that our culture has a deep history of advancement in mathematics and astronomy, which has also inspired modern science and mathematics.

​

Acharya Aryabhatt is the first to declare that the Earth is situated on its axis and after being situated, it rotates in its place. In his book Aryabhatiya’s Golpaad chapter, he has revealed the mystery of earth rotation and revolution. Not only this, but he has also explained the occurrence of solar eclipse and lunar eclipse and their scientific reasons. Acharya Aryabhatt has also said that since the Moon and other planets do not have their own light, they are illuminated by the reflected light of the Sun. This land will never forget his contribution in the field of mathematics. He gave the value of PI (π) to this world which is 3.1415. Our heartfelt tribute to such great mathematician and astronomer, Acharya Aryabhatt.
