of Indian mathematics and Indian astronomy. He flourished in the Gupta Era[2] and produced works such as the Āryabhaṭīya (which mentions that in 3600 Kali Yuga, 499 CE, he was 23 years old) and the Arya-siddhanta[3].
His pure mathematics discusses topics such as determination of square and cube roots, geometrical figures with their properties and mensuration, arithmetric progression problems on the shadow of the gnomon, quadratic equations, linear and indeterminate equations. Aryabhata calculated the value of pi (π) 3.1416 to the fourth decimal digit. Scholars consider him to be one of the pillars of Indian astronomy and mathematics.[4]
