Aryabhata worked on the place value system using letters to signify numbers and stating qualities. He discovered the position of nine planets and stated that these planets revolve around the sun. He also stated the correct number of days in a year that is 365.

The most significant contribution of Brahmagupta was the introduction of zero(0) to the mathematics which stood for “nothing”

Srinivasa Ramanujan is one of the celebrated Indian mathematicians. His important contributions to the field include Hardy-Ramanujan-Littlewood circle method in number theory, Roger-Ramanujan’s identities in partition of numbers, work on algebra of inequalities, elliptic functions, continued fractions, partial sums and products of hypergeometric series.

Prasanta Chandra Mahalanobis is the founder of Indian Statistical Institute as well as the National Sample Surveys for which he gained international recognition.

Calyampudi Radhakrishna Rao, popularly known as C R Rao is a well known statistician, famous for his “theory of estimation”.

D. R. Kaprekar discovered several results in number theory, including a class of numbers and a constant named after him. Without any formal mathematical education he published extensively and was very well known in recreational mathematics circle.

Known for his collaboration with Albert Einstein. He is best known for his work on quantum mechanics in the early 1920s, providing the foundation for Bose–Einstein statistics and the theory of the Bose–Einstein condensate.

Bhāskara 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”

.

Narendra Karmarkar is known for his Karmarkar’salgorithm. He is listed as an highly cited researcher by Institute for Scientific Information.

Pythagoras of Samos was an Ionian Greek mathematician, philosopher, and founder of the Pythagoreanism. He is often cherished as a great mystic, mathematician, and scientist, but he is renowned for the Pythagorean Theorem that carries his name. According to Aristotle the Pythagorean group was one of the first that widely studied advance mathematics. The importance of this Theorem can not be denied until now as it is the base of most other theorems of Mathematics and his great theories lead to the development of geometry and therefore he is renowned as the Father of Modern

Leonardo Pisano Blgollo also known as Fibonacci was an Italian mathematician who is considered by some people as the most talented mathematician of the middle Ages. He is renowned for introducing Fibonacci Series and the Arabic numbering system in Europe. There are many other mathematical concepts that are named after Fibonacci. His work was adopted in this field and is still known as the major contribution in the development of the field

Wilhelm Leibniz was a German philosopher and mathematician that occupies a distinct place in the history of Philosophy and history of mathematics. First started his career as lawyer later become fascinated towards philosophy and then towards science because of his interest. In mathematics his field of interest was theology but he then invented the calculus. He is one of the most productive inventors of mechanical calculators and was the first one who described a p

inwheel calculator in 1685.

Isaac Newton was an English mathematician and physicist and is widely known as the one of the most inspiring scientists of all the time and is a role of model in the scientific revolution. Newton also made significant contribution to optics and formulated three laws of motion and law of gravitation. Along with Gottfried Leibniz he invented the infinitesimal calculus. His work helped in advancing every branch of mathematics. He is also appreciated for the generalized binomial theorem that is valid for any exponent. He is therefore on of the greatest mathematicians of all the time.

Alan Turing was a British mathematician, cryptanalyst, logician and computer scientist. He is known as the Father of artificial intelligence and computer sciences because of his intelligence and influential work in the field of computer sciences. He explained the concepts of “computation” and “algorithm” with the help of turning machine which was considered a model representing computer. With the help of his brilliant mind he worked for the Government Code and Cypher School in Britain during the World War II and designed a number of ways for breaking German Ciphers. He is known as the first true computer scientist and has also written outstanding papers on computing that are still affective and also formulated the Turing test which is still applicable for evaluation of computers ‘intelligence’.

René Descartes was a French philosopher, writer and mathematician and physicist. He was named as the ‘Father of Modern Philosophy’ as a response to his writings. His contribution in mathematics is equally seen, one of his most lasting contribution is Cartesian coordinate system or analytical geometry. He invented the method of representing the unknowns in the equations by x, y and z or in the form of a, b and c. He also invented the standard notion that helps to show the exponents or powers. Also being the first mathematician who assigned a fundamental place for algebra in our system his work is really astonishing. Newton and Leibniz calculus were based on his work.

Euclid of Alexandria, was a great Greek mathematician who is often mentioned as the “Father of Geometry”. He is very famous for his magnum opus; Elements that is one of the inspirational contribution to the field and is being used as the major textbook from the time of its issuance until the late 19th or early 20th century to teach mathematics. From a small set of axioms he concluded the principles of Euclidean geometry. He also wrote five other surviving works about spherical geometry, perspective, number theory, conic sections and rigor. Very few information is known about his life and what he had written very earlier due to limited

Bernhard Riemann was a German scientist who was born in a poor family but became an influential mathematician. He made a lot of contributions in number theory, differential geometry and analysis and there are a number of theorems that bear his name like Riemannian Geometry, Riemann–Liouville differintegral, Riemann Integral and the Riemannian Surfaces. He is widely known for his Riemann Hypothesis that indicates issues about the distribution of prime numbers. Riemann was blessed with exceptional mathematical skills like calculation abilities but being shy he was afraid of speaking in front of people in his early life. His ever lasting contributions are still helping in the field of mathematics even after his death.

Carl Friedrich Gauss was a German mathematician and a physicist who is also known as “the Prince of Mathematicians” and had great contribution in various fields like algebra, number theory, analysis, statistics, geophysics, differential geometry, optics, electrostatics and astronomy. He had extraordinary mental capability and made his first discovery while he was a teenager. In 1798 at the age of 21, he wrote his magnum opus named as Disquisitiones Arithmeticae. This work was essential for building up number theory and has curved the field to the current period. He referred mathematics as Queen of all sciences and brought in Gaussian gravitational constant in physics, he worked hard until his death,

his contributions are always remembered.

Leonhard Euler was a Swiss mathematician and physicist. Euler is known as the outstanding mathematician of eighteenths century and an interesting, the most prolific and great mathematician of all the time, with beauty in his theorems and concept he had done extraordinary work. He made great discoveries in this specialty as distinct as infinitesimal calculus, geometry, algebra, trigonometry and graph theory. He brought in modern terminology and notation in mathematics like as the notion of a mathematical function especially for mathematical analysis and modern notion for trigonometric functions. His work in optics, mechanics, fluid dynamics and astronomy is extremely remarkable.
