Mathematician 1: Bhāskarāchārya (1114-1185 CE) Bhāskarāchārya, often simply referred to as Bhāskara II, was a renowned Indian mathematician and astronomer who made significant contributions to both fields: Mathematical Treatises: Bhāskarāchārya's most famous work is the "Lilavati," a comprehensive treatise on arithmetic, algebra, and geometry. This work covered a wide range of mathematical topics, including number theory, proportions, and problem-solving techniques. Algebra and Equations: In the "Lilavati," Bhāskarāchārya presented innovative methods for solving quadratic equations, including those with negative solutions. He introduced the concept of the "sankalana" method, which involves completing the square to solve quadratic equations. Geometric Principles: Bhāskarāchārya also contributed to geometry, particularly in the field of geometric measurements and calculations. His work included discussions on area, volume, and t...
