    Vedic mathematics is a system consisting of 16 sutras presented in the early 20th century. Some key ancient Indian mathematicians included Baudhayana, who calculated pi and described the Pythagorean theorem, and Katyayana. The classical period saw major mathematicians like Aryabhata, the first great mathematician who discovered properties of the solar system; Bhaskara, the first to use the Hindu-Arabic decimal system and write about variable equations and trigonometry; and Aryabhata II, author of Mahasiddhanta which covered astronomy and mathematics.

    Vedic mathematics is a system of mathematics consisting of a list of 16 basic sutras, or aphorisms.

    They were presented by a Hindu scholar and mathematician, Bharati Krishna Tirtha ji Maharaj, during the early part of the 20th century. Indian Vedic Mathematicians Baudhayana Katyayana Panini Yajnavalakya

    Baudhayana was an Indian mathematician, who was also most likely a priest. He is author of earliest sulba sutra. He is credited for calculating the value of pi and also giving the Pythagoras theorem. One of his rules say that a rope stretched along the length of a diagonal produces an area which the vertical and horizontal sides make together. This rule is being referred to as the Pythagoras theorem. His other theorems include: diagonals of rectangle bisect each other, diagonals of rhombus bisect at right angles, area of a square formed by joining the middle points of a square is half of original, the midpoints of a rectangle joined forms a rhombus whose area is half the rectangle, etc.

    The post Vedic period to pala mathematician period was know as the classical period. Major Indian Classical Mathematicians Aryabhata Aryabhata I Bhaskara Brahmagupta

    Aryabhata was the first great mathematician in the Classical age of Indian Mathematics. Aryabhata was born in 476CE. He is believed to be born somewhere in the region between Godavari and Narmada. He is believed to get his higher education from Kusumapura (modern Patna). His major work, aryabhatia, has been referred to till modern times. His composition includes arithmetic, algebra, plane trigonometry, spherical trigonometry, quadratic equations fractions etc. He also found out about motion of solar system, eclipses and other major astronomical mysteries.

    ryabhaa II (c. 920 c. 1000) was an Indian Mathematician and astronomer, and the author of the maha-sidhanta. Aryabhatta II's most eminent work was Mahasiddhanta. The various topics that have been included in Maha-sidhanta are the longitudes of the planets, lunar and solar eclipses, the estimation of eclipses, the lunar crescent, the rising and setting of the planets, association of the planets with each other and with the stars. His book also includes geometry and algebra.

    Bhaskar was a 7th century Indian Mathematician. He was apparently first to write in hindu arabic decimal system and was first to use a circle for zero. He was born at Bori, in Parbhani district of Maharashtra state in India in 7th century. Bhaskara wrote three astronomical contributions. In 629 he commented the Aryabhatiya, written in verses, about mathematical astronomy. The comments referred exactly to the 33 verses dealing with mathematics. There he considered variable equations and trigonometric formulae.
