Online Published on 12 December, 2023. Abstract Very little is known about the life of Bhaskara-I and his contribution in mathematics, but the credit for the representation of numbers in a positional and systematic way goes to him. He was the first mathematician to use first nine Brahmi numbers from 1 to 9 using a small circle for zero in a scientific manner in Sanskrit. He wrote two treatises The Mahabhaskariya and Laghu Bhaskariya, and also wrote commentaries on the work of Aryabhatta which is known as Aryabhatiyabhashya. Bhaskara-I elaborates Aryabhatta's method for solving linear equations and emphasized in providing mathematical rules and applications. Top Keywords Mahabhaskariya, Laghu Bhaskariya, Aryabhatiyabhashya. Top |
