Bhaskara II - The Great Indian Mathematician
Works of Bhaskara ii
Bhaskara developed an understanding of calculus, the number systems, and solving equations, which were not to be achieved anywhere else in the world for several centuries.
Bhaskara is mainly remembered for his 1150 A. D. masterpiece, the Siddhanta Siromani (Crown of Treatises) which he wrote at the age of 36. The treatise comprises 1450 verses which have four segments. Each segment of the book focuses on a separate field of astronomy and mathematics.

However, the people of ancient India absolutely loved the subject, and made great discoveries and inventions in it that have stood the test of time. Stories of any genre catch my attention. Recently, I found an interesting piece revolving around mathematics. A little bit of research led to the complete story of Bhaskaracharya penning down the legendary Lilavati. Those familiar with Bhaskaracharya would know that he was a distinguished mathematician and astronomer of Ancient India. Lilavati is the first volume of his principal work, the Siddhant Shiromani. It contains numerous word problems on arithmetic and geometry. Lilavati, the daughter of Bhaskaracharya, was destined to die a spinster. To avoid this fate, Bhaskaracharya predicted an auspicious moment for her wedding. To alert her at the right time, he
