INDIAN HISTORY

Detailed explanation-1: -Q. The first Indian Mathematician who treated Mathematics as a different discipline? Notes: Aryabhatta was the first of the major mathematician-astronomers from the classical age of Indian mathematics and Indian astronomy. He treated mathematics as a different discipline.

Detailed explanation-2: -Aryabhatta contributed significant work in science and mathematics and concluded theories of earth rotation on its axis, approximation of pie () place value system of zero, trigonometry, and many others.

Detailed explanation-3: -Brahmagupta ( c. 598 – c. 668 CE) was an Indian mathematician and astronomer.

Detailed explanation-4: -As well as giving us the concept of zero, Indian mathematicians made seminal contributions to the study of trigonometry, algebra, arithmetic and negative numbers among other areas. Perhaps most significantly, the decimal system that we still employ worldwide today was first seen in India.

Detailed explanation-5: -Classical Indian mathematicians like Aryabhata, Brahmagupta, Mahavira, Bhaskara II, Madhava of Sangamagrama, Nilakantha Somayaji, etc. are immortal thanks to their contributions to mathematics. For instance, the decimal system, the idea of zero as a number, negative numbers, arithmetic, algebra, trigonometry, etc.
