L'Aryabhatiya, composto nel 499, è un compendio delle conoscenze matematiche indiane del tempo, composto in versi; Aryabhata copre diversi argomenti, tra i quali l'aritmetica, la trigonometria piana e sferica e le regole per il calcolo di aree e volumi.
Aryabhata ( ISO: Āryabhaṭa) or Aryabhata I (476–550 CE) was the first of the major mathematician-astronomers from the classical age of Indian mathematics and Indian astronomy. His works include the Āryabhaṭīya (which mentions that in 3600 Kali Yuga, 499 CE, he was 23 years old) and the Arya-siddhanta.
Aryabhata (born 476, possibly Ashmaka or Kusumapura, India) was an astronomer and the earliest Indian mathematician whose work and history are available to modern scholars. He is also known as Aryabhata I or Aryabhata the Elder to distinguish him from a 10th-century Indian mathematician of the same name.

Matematico e astronomo indiano (nato nel 476 d. C.). Nel campo dell'aritmetica conosceva la numerazione decimale e ha lasciato regole per l'estrazione delle radici quadrate e cubiche. Nel campo astronomico, determinò il movimento precessionale con maggiore esattezza di quanto avesse fatto Ipparco.
Aryabhata gives the radius of the planetary orbits in terms of the radius of the Earth/Sun orbit as essentially their periods of rotation around the Sun. He believes that the Moon and planets shine by reflected sunlight, incredibly he believes that the orbits of the planets are ellipses .
Be it a space mission or an invention, use of mathematics is inevitable in every walk of our lives. One such figure who mastered this field in the classical age was Aryabhata. He was one of the leading mathematician and astronomer of India.
Aryabhata is the author of several treatises on mathematics and astronomy, some of which are lost. His major work, Aryabhatiya, a compendium of mathematics and astronomy, was extensively referred to in the Indian mathematical literature, and has survived to modern times.
