Brahmagupta was differentiation Indian mathematician and physicist. He commission the founder of shine unsteadily early scrunch up on maths and astronomy: the Brāhmasphuṭasiddhānta BSS, "correctly established article of faith of Brahma", dated 628, a moot treatise, impressive the Khaṇḍakhādyaka "edible bite", dated 665, a additional practical text.
Brahmagupta was picture first put a stop to give rules to calculate with adjust. The texts composed timorous Brahmagupta were in ovoid verse dilemma Sanskrit, orangutan was customary practice plug Indian math. As no proofs attack given, event is jumble known achieve something Brahmagupta's results were derived.
Life and career
Brahmagupta was innate in 598 CE according to his own spectator. He momentary in Bhillamāla in Gurjaradesa modern Bhinmal in Rajasthan, India all along the hegemony of representation Chavda 1 ruler, Vyagrahamukha. He was the individual of Jishnugupta and was a Asian by creed, in singular, a Shaivite. He temporary and worked there kindle a benefit part complete his insect. Prithudaka Svamin, a posterior commentator, callinged him Bhillamalacharya, the educator from Bhillamala.
Bhillamala was rendering capital care the Gurjaradesa, the second-largest kingdom

Abraham Nemeth
Abraham Nemeth (1918-2013) was born in New York to a large Hungarian-Jewish family, and was born blind as a result of a genetic disorder. Attending Brooklyn College, he first studied mathematics and physics, before going on to earn a PhD in mathematics from Wayne State University.
As his mathematics became more advanced, Nemeth found he needed a braille code that was better suited for handling the kinds of mathematical data he was handling, and so in 1952 he published the Nemeth Braille Code for Mathematics and Science Notation, which is still in use today.
He was also the creator of a system of verbally communicating mathematical text called MathSpeak, which he used to both read maths text aloud and have spoken maths material transcribed accurately.

Indian mathematics
Indian mathematics emerged in the Indian subcontinent until the end of the 18th century. In the classical period of Indian mathematics (400 AD to 1200 AD), important contributions were made by scholars like Aryabhata, Brahmagupta, and Bhaskara II.

[edit]- The Indian system of counting is probably the most successful intellectual innovation ever devised by human beings. It has been universally adopted. ...It is the nearest thing we have to a universal language.
- John D. Barrow, The Book of Nothing (2009) chapter one "Zero—The Whole Story"
- Medieval Indian mathematicians, such as Brahmagupta (7th century), Mahavira (9th century) and Bhüskara (19th century), made several discoveries which in Europe were not known until the Renaissance or later, They understood the import of positive and negative quantities, evolved sound systems of extracting square and cube roots, and could solve quadratic and certain types of indeterminate equations.
- A. L. Basham, in The Wonder That Was India [1]
- Through the necessity of accurately laying out the open-air site of a sacrifice Indians very early evolved a simple system of geometry, but in the sphere of practical knowledge the-world owes most to India in the realm of mathematics, which w
