The principal Indian writers on algebra and arithmetic generally are Aryabhatta in the fifth century of our era, Brahmagupta who wrote about AD 628 and Bhaskara in the twelfth century. Astronomy appears from an early period to have been cultivated by the Hindus for the regulation of time. It seems probable that the astronomy of the Hindus was originally as independent from that of the Greeks as their early proficiency in algebra although no doubt can be entertained that at a period when astronomy had already made some progress among them they received hints from the astronomical schools of the Greeks. The number of astronomical works in the Sanskrit language is considerable the most celebrated among them are the Suryasiddhanta of Varahamihira who to judge from the position of the colures in his work must have written in the latter part of the fifth century of our era, the Brahmasiddhanta of Brahmagupta who is supposed to have written about AD 536 and the Siddhanta-siromani of Bhascara which was completed in 1150AD.

Brahmagupta's work
Brahmagupta taught us basic mathematics
Brahmagupta describes about Zero as one of the numerals which stood for meaning nothing. He also elaborates as to how integers positive and negative consequence when played with zero.
A general view of Brahmagupta’s enormous work
A brief review of his genuine intelligent work will prove why he is called the mentor of numbers and astronomy.
The gravitational pull of Brahmagupta and Newton
The decision should be left on the people and the world to be decided, which gravitational pull is attracting them more Newton or Brahamagupta’s.
Significance of Brahmagupta discoveries in modern world
If someone questions about the significance of Brahamgupta’s work it will be like questioning the existence of man itself.
Cultural and time travel of Brahmagupta and his concepts
His simple formulae about the cyclic quadrilateral in a circle have become more complex and easier with the help of computers who bargain the millions of calculations in a wink of an eye.
