    Srinivasa Ramanujan was one of India’s greatest mathematical geniuses. He made substantial contributions to the Hardy-Ramanujan Littlewood circle method in number theory and worked on elliptic functions, continued fractions, partial sums, products of hypergeometric series, and infinite series.

    P.C. MAHALANOBIS: Great Indian Mathematician

                                                          P.C. MAHALANOBIS

    Prasanta Chandra Mahalanobis’s most significant contribution in the field of statistics was the Mahalanobis Distance.

    Calyampudi Radhakrishna Rao, popularly known as C R Rao is a well-known statistician, famous for his “theory of estimation”. His contributions to statistical theory and applications are well known, and many of his results, which bear his name, are included in the curriculum of courses in statistics at bachelor’s and master’s levels all over the world.
    Famous Indian Mathematician Dattaraya Ramchandra Kaprekar

                                                              D.R. KAPREKAR  

    Dattaraya Ramchandra Kaprekar was an Indian recreational mathematician who described several classes of natural numbers including the Kaprekar, Harshad and self-numbers and discovered the Kaprekar constant, named after him. Without any formal mathematical education, he published extensively and was very well-known in the recreational mathematics circle.

    HARISH CHANDRA Mathematician from India

                                                             HARISH CHANDRA   

    Harish-Chandra FRS was an Indian American mathematician and physicist who did fundamental work in representation theory, especially harmonic analysis on semisimple Lie groups.

     

    SATYENDRA NATH BOSE

                                                       SATYENDRA NATH BOSE   

    Known for his collaboration with Albert Einstein, Satyendra Nath Bose established modern theoretical physics in India. Bose made significant advances in statistical mechanics and quantum statistics, the description of all forces by single field theory, x-ray diffraction, and the interaction of electromagnetic waves with the ionosphere.

    BHASKARA

                                                                  BHASKARA 

    Bhaskara, an Indian astronomer, and mathematician helped to disseminate the mathematical work of Aryabhata. He was the one who declared that any number divided by zero is infinity and that the sum of any number and infinity is also infinity. He is also famous for his book “Siddhanta Siromani”.

    FAQs About Indian Mathematicians

    1. What is Indian mathematics famous for?

    The decimal number system in use today was first recorded in Indian mathematics. Indian mathematicians made early contributions to the study of the concept of zero as a number, negative numbers, arithmetic, and algebra.

    2. Who is the father of maths?

    The Father of Math is the great Greek mathematician and philosopher Archimedes.

    3. What did Indian mathematicians invent?

    As well as giving us the concept of zero, Indian mathematicians made seminal contributions to the study of trigonometry, algebra, arithmetic, and negative numbers among other areas.

    4. Who is the best female mathematicians in India?

    Born in 1929, Shakuntala Devi was the first female Mathematician from India. She was fondly known as the “human computer” for her ability to perform lengthy calculations in her mind.

    5. Is zero invented in India?

    The concept of zero was developed in India, presumably as early as during the Gupta period.

      Sir ,I want to ask a question .Generally it is beleived that Aryabhatta invented Zero. In this it is written that Brahmagupta invented zero.If so, why we were told that aryabhatta invented it?

        Hi Ayush,

        Thanks for your query.
        The discovery of Zero is the greatest abstraction of the human mind. It is not wrong to say that the concept or the invention of zero was revolutionary in mathematics. Zero is a symbol for the concept of nothingness. Now a day’s zero both as a numeric symbol and a concept help us to do calculus, in solving complicated equations.
        Zero became an important part of the number system in India. Brahmagupta a scholar and mathematician in AD 628 first time defined zero and its operation and developed a symbol for it which is a dot underneath the numbers. He had also written rules for mathematical operations like addition and subtraction using zero. Then, Aryabhatta a great mathematician and an astronomer used zero in the decimal system.
