Acknowledgement
I would like to express my speci al thanks of gratitude to my maths teacher
Ms. Smrutirekha Mohanta as well as our principal Mr. Rajendra Prasad Sah
who gave me the golden opportunity to do this wonderful project on the topic,
which also helped me in doing a lot of Research and I came to know about so
many new things I am really thankful to them.
Secondly I would also like to thank my parents and friends who helped me a
lot in finalizing this project within the limited time frame.

Conclusion
India's contribution in the world of maths
It should come as no surprise that the first recorded use of the number
zero, recently discovered to be made as early as the 3rd or 4th century,
happened in India. Mathematics on the Indian subcontinent has a rich
history going back over 3,000 years and thrived for centuries before
similar advances were made in Europe, with its influence meanwhile
spreading to China and the Middle East.
As well as giving us the concept of zero, Indian mathematicians made
seminal contributions to the study of trigonometry, algebra, arithmetic
and negative numbers among other areas. Perhaps most significantly,
the decimal system that we still employ worldwide today was first seen
in India.
The Great indian mathematicians
India’s mathematicians have made significant contributions over the last 5000
years. From the ever-popular Aryabhata, widely recognized for revolutionizing
the number system and Shakuntala Devi, universally admired for her fast mental
calculations to pioneers forgotten by time, like Baudhayana, who explained the
Pythagoras’ theorem nearly 3000 years ago, and Anand Kumar of the Super 30
fame, among others. The figures included in this book are trailblazers in the
world of mathematics.
ARYABHAT – THE MATHEMATICIAN AND
ASTRONOMER
Prior to the first century A.D., there was a lot of development of
mathematics in India
but the nomenclature of their contributors is not known presently. One
of the Indian
mathematicians of ancient times about which some definite information is
available is
Aryabhat, and the name of his creation is Aryabhattiya.
TIME AND PLACE OF BIRTH
Aryabhat has said in his creation Aryabhattiya that he was 23 year old, when
he wrote Aryabhattiya and upto that time 3600 years of Kaliyug (dfy;qx) had
elapsed. This works out that he wrote the manuscript in 499 A.D. and his year
of birth was 476 A.D.
Aryabhat has also said in the manuscript that he has given the knowledge
attained at Kusumpur (Pataliputra) while studying. This gives the impression
that he was born at Pattliputra but according to the views of majority he was
born in South India (in Ashmak district, which is on the bank of river Godavari).
The world famous historian mathematician Dr. Bhou-Daji (Hkkm&nkth) of
Maharashtra traced the manuscript of Aryabhattiya in 1864 from South India
and published its contents.
Contributions
1. Aryabhat created a new method of enumerating
numbers using Sanskrit
alphabets.
2. Aryabhat has sumarised important principles of arithmetic, geometry and
algebra in 33 shlokas of Ganitpad only. In these shlokas, he has given
formulae for finding:
• squares and square-roots
• cubes and cube-roots
• area of squares, triangles and circles
• volume of a sphere
Contributions
3. Aryabhat has given methods of drawing a circle, a triangle
and quadrilateral
and solving of quadratic equations.
4. He has stated and verified Pythagoras theorem through
examples.
5. Another important contribution of Aryabhat has been
formation of tables
of sine and cosine functions at intervals of 3°45' each.
Srinivasa Ramanujan
Srinivasa Ramanujan (1887-1920), the man who reshaped twentieth-century mathematics
with his various contributions in several mathematical domains, including mathematical
analysis, infinite series, continued fractions, number theory, and game theory is recognized
as one of history's greatest mathematicians. Leaving this world at the youthful age of 32,
Ramanujan made significant contributions to mathematics that only a few others could
match in their lifetime. Surprisingly, he never received any formal mathematics training.
Most of his mathematical discoveries were based only on intuition and were ultimately
proven correct. With its humble and sometimes difficult start, his life story is just as
fascinating as his incredible work. Every year, Ramanujan’s birth anniversary on December
22 is observed as National Mathematics Day.
SATYENDRA NATH BOSE
Best known for his stupendous work in quantum mechanics,
Satyendra Nath Bose developed the statistical mechanics for
bosons of a photon gas. He is also popular for his collaboration
with Albert Einstein. Bose also worked on the Bose-Einstein
statistics and the theory of Bose-Einstein condensate.
CONCLUSION
So after completion of this project i learned many
things, learned how our country contributed in the
field of maths and the great mathematicians who
gave great theories to the world so i conclude this
project here.
THANK YOU
