    Indian mathematicians made many important contributions, including: 1. Aryabhata discovered the place value system using letters for numbers, and stated that planets revolve around the sun and the correct number of days in a year is 365. 2. Brahmagupta introduced zero to represent nothing. 3. Ramanujan made significant contributions to number theory, partition of numbers, elliptic functions, and more.

    Indian mathematicians

    1.Aryabhata-He worked on the place value system using letters to signify numbers and stating
    qualities. He discovered the position of nine planets and stated that these planets revolve around
    the sun. He also stated the correct number of days in a year that is 365.
    2. Brahmagupta- The most significant contribution of Brahmagupta was the introduction of
    zero(0) to the mathematics which stood for “nothing”.

    3. Srinivasa Ramanujan - He is one of the celebrated Indian mathematicians. His important


    contributions to the field include Hardy-Ramanujan-Littlewood circle method in number theory,
    Roger-Ramanujan’s identities in partition of numbers, work on algebra of inequalities, elliptic
    functions, continued fractions, partial sums and products of hypergeometric series.

    4. P.C. Mahalanobis- Prasanta Chandra Mahalanobis is the founder of Indian Statistical


    Institute as well as the National Sample Surveys for which he gained international recognition.
    5. C.R. Rao- Calyampudi Radhakrishna Rao, popularly known as C R Rao is a well known
    statistician, famous for his “theory of estimation”.
    6. D. R. Kaprekar- D. R. Kaprekar discovered several results in number theory, including a class
    of numbers and a constant named after him. Without any formal mathematical education he
    published extensively and was very well known in recreational mathematics cricle.
    7. Harish Chandra- Harish Chandra is famously known for infinite dimensional group
    representation theory.
    8. Satyendranath Bose- Known for his collaboration with Albert Einstein. He is best known for
    his work on quantum mechanics in the early 1920s, providing the foundation for Bose–Einstein
    statistics and the theory of the Bose–Einstein condensate.
    9. Bhāskara- Bhāskara was the one who declared that any number divided by zero is infinity and
    that the sum of any number and infinity is also infinity. He is also famous for his book
    “Siddhanta Siromani”.
    10. Narendra Karmarkar-Narendra Karmarkar is known for his Karmarkar’s algorithm. He is
    listed as an highly cited researcher by Institute for Scientific Information.
