  1. CONTRIBUTION OF INDIA IN WORLD MATHEMATICS ORGANIZED BY DEPARTMENT OF MATHEMATICS DATE: 11/08/2015

  2. MATHEMATICS IS NOT SCIENCE BUT MATHEMATICS IS THE QUEEN OF ALL SCIENCE

  3. There is doubt that the world today is greatly • indebted to the contributions made by Indian • Mathematicians. One of the most important • contribution made by Indian Mathematicians was the • introduction of decimal system as well as the • invention of zero. • Some of the the Contributions to Mathematics by • India are as follows • The number system • The zero • Vedic Mathematics and arithmetical operations • Geometry of the Sulba Sutras • Classical contribution to Indeterminate Equations and • Algebra • Indian Trigonometry • Kerala contribution to Infinite Series and Calculus. • Modern Contribution: Srinivasa Ramanujan onwards • Value of pi • Pithagoras theorem

  4. Aryabhatya worked on the place value system using to signify numbers and stating. • Aryabhatta was born in 476 A.D. Kusumpur, India. He was the first in the line of great mathematicians from the classical age of Indian Mathematics and Astronomy. • His famous work are the” Aryabhatiya “and the”Arya siddhanta”.The Mathematical part of the Aryabhatiya covers arithmetic. Algebra, plane and spherical trigonometry. The Arya‐siddhanta, a lot work on astronomical computation. • Approximation of Pi: Aryabhata work on the approximation for pi (π) and may havecome to the conclusion that π is an irrational number.In the 2nd part of Aryabhatiya; he writes the ratio of circumference to diameter is 3.1416. ARYABHATA (476—550AD)

  5. Aryabhata given the formula for area of a triangle .He also discussed the concept of • sine in his work by the name of ardhajya. If we use Aryabhata’s table & calculate the • value of sin300 which is 1719/3438=0.5.,the value is correct. His alphabetic code is commonly known as the Aryabhata cipher. • He was first person to say that Earth is spherical and it revolves around the sun. • He gave the formula (a+b)2 =a2 + b2 + 2ab. • He taught the method of solving the following problems:  • 1+2+3+…………+n = n(n+1)/2 • 12 + 22 + 32 +………+ n2 = n(n+1)(2n+1)/6 • 13 + 23 + 33 +…………..+ n3 = (n(n+1)/2)2

  6. The most significant contribution of Brahmagupta was the introduction of zero(0) to the mathematics which stood for nothing. • Brahmagupta was born in 598 A.D.in Bhinmal city in the state of Rajasthan. He was a mathematician and astronomer, who wrote many important works on mathematics and astronomy. His best known work is the “Brahmasphuta‐siddhanta”, written in 628 AD in Bhinmal. • He was the first to use zero as a number. He gave rules to compute with zero. • He gave four methods of multiplication.  • He gave following formulae, used in G.P.  series a+ar+ar2+ar3 +……….+arn‐1 =a(rn ‐1)/( r‐1). BRAHMAGUPTA (598‐668 AD)

  7. He gave the following formulae( Brahmagupta’s  formula):  Area of a cyclic quadrilateral with side a,b,c,d =9(s‐a)(s‐b)(s‐c)(s‐d),  where 2s= a+b+c+d.  BHASKARACHARYA (1114‐1185 AD) • He was born in Bijapur in modern Karnataka. He & his work represent a significant contribution to mathematical & astronomical knowledge in the 12th century. • His main work “Siddhanta Shiromani” is divided into four parts called Lilawati, Bijaganit, Grahaganita and Goladhyaya. These four sections deal with arithmetic, algebra, mathematics of planets and spheres respectively.

  8. He was the first to give that any number divided by zero gives infinity. • He was written a lot about zero, surds, permutation and combination. • He wrote,” The hundredth part of the circumference of a circle seems to be straight. Our earth is a big sphere and that’s why it appears to be flat.” • He gave the formulae like: sin(A±B)=sinA cosB ± cosA sinB. • He calculated derivatives of Trigonometric functions and formulae. • He developed spherical trigonometry along with a number of other trigonometric results. • He explained solution of quadratic, cubic and quartic indeterminate equations. • He developed a proof of Pythagoras Theorem by calculating the same area in two different ways & these cancel out terms to get a2 + b2 = c2. • He gave first general method for finding the solution of the problem x2 – ny2 = 1 (so called Pell’s equation ). • He gave solution of Diophantine equations of second order such as 61x2 + 1 = y2.

  9. RAMANUJAN (1887‐1920) • Ramanujan was born on 22nd of December 1887 in Erode, Madras Presidency. He made extraordinary contributions to mathematical analysis, number theory, infinite series, and continued fractions. • He demonstrated unusual mathematical skill at school,winning • accolades and awards. • By 17,he had conducted his own mathematical research on Bernoulli • numbers and the Euler‐Mascheroni constant. • He discovered theorems of his own and rediscovered Euler's identity independently.

  10. He sent a set of 120 theorems to Professor Hardy of Cambridge. As a result he invited • Ramanujan to England. • He independently compiled nearly 3900 results (mostly identities and • equations).Nearly all his claims have now been proved correct. • Ramanujan Showed that any big number can be written as sum of not more than four • prime numbers. • He showed that how to divide the number into two or more squares or cubes. • Ramanujan's Number:When Mr.G.H. Hardy came to see Ramanujan in taxi number • 729,Ramanujan said that 1729 is the smallest number which can be written in the • formof sum of cubes of two numbers in two ways,i.e.1729=93+103=13+123 since than • the number 1729 is called Ramanujan’s number. • In 1918, Ramanujan and Hardy studied the partition function P(n) extensively and • gave a non‐convergent asymptotic series that permits exact computation of the • number of partition of an integer. • He discovered mock theta function in the last year of his life .For many years these • functions were a mystry,but they are now known to be the holomorphic parts of • harmonic weak mass forms.

  11. SHAKUNTALA DEVI (4 Nov 1929 - 21 April 2013) • She was born in 1939.She is an Indian calculating prodigy. • By age 6,She demonstrated her calculation and memorization abilities at • university of Mysore. At the age of 8,she had successes at Annamalai University • by doing the same.

  12. On June 18, 1980,She demonstrated the multiplication of two 13‐digit numbers • 7,686,369,774,870X2,465,099.745,779 picked at random by the Computer • Department of Imperial College, London. She answered the question in 28 • seconds. However,the time is more likely the time for dictating the answer (a • 26‐digit number) than the time for mental calculation(the time of 28 seconds was • quoted on her website).Her answer was 18,947,668,177,995,426,773,730.This • event is mentioned on page 26 of the 1995 Guinness Book of Records. • In Dallas, she competed with a computer to see who give the cube of 188138517 faster, she won. • At University of USA she was asked to give the 23rd root of • 91674867692003915809866092758538016248310668014430862240712651642793465704086709659327920576748080679002278301635492485238033574531693511190359657754734007568818688305620821016129132845564895780158806771.She answered in 50 seconds. The answer is 546372891. • It took a UNIVAC 1108 computer, full one minute (10 seconds more) to confirm that she was right after it was fed with 13000 instructions. • Now she is known to be Human Computer.

  13. P.C. Mahalanobis (29 June 1893 – 28 June 1972) Prasanta Chandra Mahalanobis is the founder of Indian statistical Institute as well as the National Sample Surveys for which he gained international recognition.

  14. C.R.RAO (10 Sept. 1920) Calyampudi Radhakrishnan Rao, popularly known as C R Rao is a well known statistician, famous for his theory of estimation.

  15. D.R. Kaprekar (17 jan. 1905-1986) 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.

  16. Harish Chandra (10 Oct. 1923 – 16 Oct. 1983) Harish Chandra is famously known for infinite dimensional group representation theory.

  17. Satyendranath Bose Satyendranath Bose Known for his collaboration with Albert Einstine. 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.

  18. "We owe a lot to the Indians, who taught us how to count, without which no worthwhile scientific discovery could have been made." Albert Einstein
