Bhaskaracharya contribution to mathematics

Early Life and Education

Bhaskara II, whose full name was Bhaskaracharya, was born around AD in Vijjadavida, India. He was from a lineage of scholars, with his father, Mahesvara, being a well-known mathematician and astrologer. His father opened his intellectual journey, educating him in mathematics, astronomy, and science. His father’s teachings in these fields were instrumental in Bhaskara’s development as a scholar in these fields.

Significant Works

The most significant works of Bhaskara include the Lilavati and the Bijaganita. The Lilavati is a detailed exposition of several mathematical topics, such as arithmetic, algebra, geometry, and mensuration. The subjects are arranged into 13 chapters, each focusing on specific mathematical problems and their solutions. The treatise was written to spread mathematical knowledge, and Bhaskara’s genius in breaking down complex concepts and presenting them in simplified forms that could be easily understood revolutionized the field.

Bhaskara

Bhaskara is also known as Bhaskara II or as Bhaskaracharya, this latter name meaning "Bhaskara the Teacher". Since he is known in India as Bhaskaracharya we will refer to him throughout this article by that name. Bhaskaracharya's father was a Brahman named Mahesvara. Mahesvara himself was famed as an astrologer. This happened frequently in Indian society with generations of a family being excellent mathematicians and often acting as teachers to other family members.

Bhaskaracharya became head of the astronomical observatory at Ujjain, the leading mathematical centre in India at that time. Outstanding mathematicians such as Varahamihira and Brahmagupta had worked there and built up a strong school of mathematical astronomy.

In many ways Bhaskaracharya represents the peak of mathematical knowledge in the 12th century. He reached an understanding of the number systems and solving equations which was not to be achieved in Europe for several centuries.

Name

[edit]

Bhaskara II's book on arithmetic is the subject of interesting legender that assert that it was written for his daughter, Lilavati. As the story goes, the author had studied Lilavati's horoscope and predicted that she would remain both childless and unmarried. To avoid this fate, he ascertained an auspicious moment for his daughter's wedding. To alert his daughter at the correct time, he placed a cup with a small hole at the bottom of a vessel filled with vatten, arranged so that the cup would sink at the beginning of the propitious hour. He put the device in a room with a varning to Lilavati to not go nära it. In her curiosity, though, she wen
