Brahmagupta – Biography
Brahmasphuta Siddhanta: This is the Brahmasphuta Siddhanta
text that has been adapted by our ancient scientific sages in India to be the standard text for astronomy, the Brahma Siddhanta, with more specific criteria
relevant to the original text.
In this Brahmasphuta, Brahmagupta gave an extensive
discussion on algebra and arithmetic. Brahmagupta was the first to formulate
zero, which is said to be a milestone in mathematics! He formulated that the
value of the number which added zero before any number does not change, and the
element position of that number change if zero is added after any number. The number followed by one zero - decimal, two - percentage, three zeros -
millennium proved that the value of a number of changes. He clarified that zero
can be multiplied by any number, zero will come, and the value of any number
subtracted from zero will not change. It was Brahmagupta who first introduced
the principles of algebra to the world in the 18th chapter of the Brahmasputa
theory.
Astronomy: Gravity
introduced me to the world by Brahmagupta. Brahmagupta clarified that the earth
has a natural gravitational force and that the earth always attracts all living
things and animals to its side, which is not called gravity. Astronomical
astronomical astronomical calculations such as accurately calculating the
motions of the planets in space, their sunrises, and sunsets, calculating the
distances and angles between the planets during solar and lunar eclipses, and
proving quantitatively that the rays of the sun fall on the moon to form the
full moon. He asserted that the earth was spherical, not flat, as the
ancestors had erred. He clarified that the sun was many thousands of miles away
from the earth, and that is why the self-luminous moon was illuminated by the
rays of the sun and caused the full moons on the earth due to the rotation
angles of the planets. Brahmagupta was another great Indian astronomer who
mastered the mathematical and astronomical mysteries that are still
inaccessible to modern scientists, formulating them theoretically thousands of
years ago and guiding generations like Aryabhata.
