This commentary, Āryabhaṭīyabhāṣya, written in 629, is among the oldest known prose works in Sanskrit on mathematics and astronomy. He also wrote two astronomical works in the line of Aryabhata's school: the Mahābhāskarīya ("Great Book of Bhāskara") and the Laghubhāskarīya ("Small Book of Bhāskara").

One of the most important mathematical contributions is related to the representation of numbers in a positional system. The first positional representations were known to Indian astronomers about 500 years ago before Bhaskaracharya, but the numbers were not written in figures, but in words, symbols or pictorial representations. For example, the nu...
Bhaskara i knew the approximation to the sine functions that yields close to 99% accuracy, using a function that is simply a ratio of two quadratic functions. The formula is given in verses 17 – 19, Chapter VII, Mahabhaskariya of Bhaskara I. He stated the formula in stylised verse. According to his formula: If 0 ≤x ≤180≤x ≤180 then sin x deg is app...
The Mahabhaskariya is a work on Indian mathematical astronomy consisting of eight chapters dealing with mathematical astronomy. The book deals with topics such as the longitudes of the planets; association of the planets with each other, conjunctions among the plant and the stars; the lunar crescent; solar and lunar eclipses; and rising and setting...
The Aryabhatiyabhashya is Bhaskara I’s commentary on the Aryabhatiya. The Aryabhatiyais a treatise on astronomy written in Sanskrit. It is said to be the only known surviving work of the 5th-century Indian mathematician Aryabhata. It is estimated that the book was written around 510 B.C. Bhaskara I wrote the Aryabhatiyabhasya in 629 Bhaskara I’s co...
Bhāskara II [a] ([bʰɑːskərə]; c.1114–1185), also known as Bhāskarāchārya (lit. ' Bhāskara the teacher '), was an Indian polymath, mathematician, astronomer and engineer.
decimal. quadratic equation. Bhāskara II (born 1114, Biddur, India—died c. 1185, probably Ujjain) was the leading mathematician of the 12th century, who wrote the first work with full and systematic use of the decimal number system.

Also known as Bhaskara II, or Bhaskara the Teacher, Bhaskaracharya formulated what would go on to become the foundations of the mathematics that we use today. While he came to the wrong conclusions often, Bhaskara’s work served to set the stage for those who would later come along and repurpose his work within their correct frames of reference.
Bhaskara I (flourished c. 629, possibly Valabhi, near modern Bhavnagar, Saurashtra, India) was an Indian astronomer and mathematician who helped to disseminate the mathematical work of Aryabhata (born 476).
Sep 30, 2020 · Bhaskara was born to Mahesvara, a famous astrologer, near Bijjada Bida (present-day Bijapur district) in the state of Karnataka. Bhaskaracharya was the first mathematician to write a work with full and systematic use of the decimal number system.
