Indian Mathematicians

History of Indian Mathematicians
Mathematics is the study of pattern, quantity, mathematical model, mathematical structure and mathematicians are persons knowledgeable in these areas. After the excavations in Indus Valley Civilization, the archeologists uncovered the use of "practical mathematics". The people in the Indus Valley Civilization manufactured bricks of dimensions 4:2:1, for stability. Indian mathematicians have made early contributions in form of concept of zero as a number, zero, arithmetic and algebra. Furthermore in the field of trigonometry,current definitions of sine and cosine, were advanced in India. Later series expansions like power series for trigonometric function were developed by mathematicians of the Kerala school of astronomy and mathematics in the 15th century CE.

Classical Indian Mathematicians
Also known as the golden period of Indian Mathematics. This period saw mathematicians such as Brahmagupta,Pingala, Brahmadeva, Vararuchi, Haridatta laid down the foundational aspects of medieval times mathematics. Unlike Vedic mathematics, their works included both astronomical and mathematical contributions. • Brahmagupta (0590-01-01T00:00:00Z)

• Pingala (-0149-01-01T00:00:00Z)

• Brahmadeva (1060-01-01T00:00:00Z)

• Vararuchi (-0250-01-01T00:00:00Z)

• Haridatta (0700-01-01T00:00:00Z)

Medieval times Indian Mathematicians
Parameshvara discovered drkganita, a mode of astronomy based on observations. Many mathematical schools made contributions to world mathematics in this era. Particularly,Kerala school of astronomy and mathematics which was founded by Madhava of Sangamagrama who was considered to be one of the greatest Indian mathematicians and astronomers of the medieval era. The school independently created novel mathematical concepts at the time in a process of solving one of the major astronomical problems. • Parameshvara (1370-01-01T00:00:00Z)

• Madhava of Sangamagrama (1350-01-01T00:00:00Z)

• Munishvara (1650-01-01T00:00:00Z)

19th Century Indian Mathematicians
This particular era saw an esoteric and arguably one of the most original minds in mathematics, Srinivasa Ramanujan who contributed number theory. He made substancial contributions to Hardy–Littlewood circle method and worked on elliptic function, continued fraction, partial sum and series. • Satyendra Nath Bose (1894-01-01T00:00:00Z)

• Kameswar Das (1893-03-01T00:00:00Z).

20th Century Indian Mathematicians
Some notable mathematicians, last century are Prasanta Chandra Mahalanobis who made a significant contribution in the field of statistics called Mahalanobis distance and to the field of anthropometry. Another prominent name is Harish-Chandra who was an Indian American mathematics and physics who made fundamental work in representation theory, harmonic analysis and Lie group. In the area of linear programming, a higly cited researcher associated with Indian Statistical Institute is Karmarkar's algorithm who is known for Karmarkar's algorithm. • Narendra Karmarkar (1957-01-01T00:00:00Z)
