Aryabhata - biography
In Aryabhatiyam, Aryabhata standardized many mathematical
principles such as arithmetic, algebra, general-specific trigonometry,
fractions, quadrilaterals. He also calculated the 12 constellations of
astronomy and their divisions. The mathematical formulas and astronomical
formulas formulated by Aryabhata are a guide to today's modern scientists. Many
later generations of mathematicians, such as Varahamihiru and Brahmagupta,
praised Aryabhata for describing many astronomical features in the Aryabhatiyam
based on solar theory.
He invented many
types of astronomical and mathematical research tools, such as the gnomon, the shadow instrument, the circular & semi-circular instrument, the cylindrical
stick, the umbrella-shaped device, and the water clock.
Aryabhatiyam:
In fact, the name of this book is Ashmakatantra or Aryastottaram because
there are 108 chapters in this book. However, since the book was written by
Aryabhata, the 1st Bhaskaracharya, a disciple of Aryabhata, referred to it as
Aryabhata. Aryabhatiyam consists mainly of four parts. These are called feet in
Sanskrit. Geetikapadam, Ganithapadam, Kalakriyapadam, and Golapadam.
Lyric: It has 13 chapters. In this section, how do Kalpam,
Manvantaram, Mahayugam, and Yuga occur over time? What is their duration? All of
them theorized with precise mathematical equations. He also formulated a
section of 12 constellations based on the movements of the stars in space. He
estimated that it would take 4. 32 million years for an epoch to be completed
based on the rotation of the planets.
Mathematical Footnote: It has 33 chapters. In it, even modern
mathematicians are amazed by the fact that he has standardized many
mathematical equations such as geometric, arithmetic, and mensuration.
Articulation: It consists of 25 chapters. The arts such as
day standard (24h), weekly standard (7 days), and monthly standard (30 days)
which were calculated and divided by Aryabhata a few thousand years ago are
still followed by people from all over the world and all over the world.
Sphere: It has 50 chapters. How to calculate planetary
motions with geometric and trigonometry mathematical equations? How do eclipses
occur? How do poles form? What is its purpose? How do night owls form due to
the movement of solar eclipses on Earth? How to travel 12 constellations in a
day? Aryabhata embodied many valuable astronomical and astronomical secrets.
