Arayabhata introduces it with phonemic number notation and astronomical tables before setting out three sections \u2013 Ganita, Kala-kriya and Gola. This means Mathematics, Time calculations and Sphere.<\/p><h4>Ganita<\/h4><p>This explains how to work out square and cubic roots using algorithms as well as naming the first 10 decimal places. He uses TT \u2013 3.1416 to develop properties of triangles and with the help of the Pythagorean theory, states two ways to construct a table of sines. He also details linear equations, algebra and ratios.<\/p><h4>Kala-Kriya<\/h4><p>It was astronomy that is covered here and the topics covered include units of time, epicycle models of how the planets move and a theory covering \u201clords of the hours and days.\u201d<\/p><h4>Gola<\/h4><p>Here Aryabhata turns to spherical astronomy. By doing this it became possible to predict the lunar and solar eclipses and to understand that it is thanks to the spherical Earth\u2019s rotation that causes the westward motion of the stars. Aryabhata died in India in 1550 and has left details of his work in the books Aryabhatiya and \u0100ryabha\u1e6d\u012bya of \u0100ryabha\u1e6da<\/p><h4>Lasting Fame<\/h4><p>It is due to the work that was carried out by Aryabhata that the Indian Government named the satellite that they launched in 1975 after him. He is also remembered through the inter-school\u00a0Aryabhata Maths Competition<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1eec0bed elementor-align-center elementor-widget elementor-widget-button\" data-id=\"1eec0bed\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"button.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-button-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Aryabhata\" class=\"elementor-button-link elementor-button elementor-size-sm\" role=\"button\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-content-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-text\">Read More<\/span>\n\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-3b17a6e8 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"3b17a6e8\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-1e5dae57\" data-id=\"1e5dae57\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Getting to know Aryabhata It is likely that Aryabhata was born in 476 in Kusumapura, now known as Patna, Bihar in India.
