He studied thoroughly and completely all the mathematics and astronomy known in his time, systematized it, found the gaps in the knowledge of these disciplines and filled these gaps with his own researches.  He had the courage to reject the accepted values of astronomical parameters, if these were inconsistent with his and others' observations.  In this sense, he was a true scientist uninhibited by any consideration, other than that of search for truth.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe uniqueness of this work lies in the fact that it is neither so short as to be sketchy, nor so detailed as to be of interest only to scholars in the history of mathematics and astronomy.  It will be useful to all educated persons in India and abroad, who are interested in knowing about ancient India's glory in the fields of mathematics and science.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eContents\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePreface to the Second Edition\u003cbr\u003ePreface to the First Edition\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCHAPTER I\u003cbr\u003eHISTORY OF ANCIENT INDIAN ASTRONOMY AND MATHEMATICS\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePART ONE\u003cbr\u003eINTRODUCTION\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePART TWO\u003cbr\u003eA Brief History of Ancient Indian Astronomy\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePART THREE\u003cbr\u003eAn Assessment of Ancient Indian Astronomy\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePART FOUR\u003cbr\u003eA Brief History of Ancient Indian Mathematics\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePART FIVE\u003cbr\u003eDevelopment of Mathematics in Various Countries\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePART SIX\u003cbr\u003eTributes to Ancient Indian Mathematics\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePART SEVEN\u003cbr\u003eConcluding Remarks\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCHAPTER II\u003cbr\u003eLIFE HISTORY OF ARYABHATA\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePART ONE\u003cbr\u003eIntroduction\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePART TWO\u003cbr\u003eBirth\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePART THREE\u003cbr\u003eKusumpura of Aryabhata\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePART FOUR\u003cbr\u003eTeacher and Devotee of Brahma\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePART FIVE\u003cbr\u003ePupils of Aryabhata\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePART SIX\u003cbr\u003eAryabhata and Foreign Mathematicians\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCHAPTER III\u003cbr\u003ePART ONE\u003cbr\u003eIntroduction\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePART TWO\u003cbr\u003eA Collection of Two Compositions\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePART THREE\u003cbr\u003eNotable Points of the Aryabhatiya\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePART FOUR\u003cbr\u003eCommentaries on the Aryabhatiya\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePART FIVE\u003cbr\u003eThe Aryabhata-Siddhanta\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePART SIX\u003cbr\u003eThe Aryabhatiya and Aryabhat-Siddhanta\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePART SEVEN\u003cbr\u003eThe Surya-Siddhanta-Prakash\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePART EIGHT\u003cbr\u003eWorks based on the Aryabhatiya\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCHAPTER IV\u003cbr\u003eCONTRIBUTIONS OF ARYABHATA TO MATHEMATICS\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePART ONE\u003cbr\u003eIntroduction\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePART TWO\u003cbr\u003eArithmetic\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePART THREE\u003cbr\u003eAlgebra\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePART FOUR\u003cbr\u003eValue of Pie\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePART FIVE\u003cbr\u003eMensuration and Geometry\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePART SIX\u003cbr\u003eTrigonometry\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePART SEVEN\u003cbr\u003eConstruction of Circle and the Shadow Sphere\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCHAPTER FIVE\u003cbr\u003eCONTRIBUTIONS OF ARYABHATA TO ASTRONOMY\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePART ONE\u003cbr\u003eIntroduction\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePART TWO\u003cbr\u003eMain Contributions\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePART THREE\u003cbr\u003eBhagola\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePART FOUR\u003cbr\u003eKhagola\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePART FIVE\u003cbr\u003eSpherical Astronomy\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePART SIX\u003cbr\u003eEclipses of the Moon and the Sun\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePART SEVEN\u003cbr\u003ePlanets Determined from Observations\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCHAPTER SIX\u003cbr\u003eRELEVANCE OF ARYABHATA TO MODERN MATHEMATICS AND SCIENCE\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePART ONE\u003cbr\u003eThe Renaissance of Scientific\u003cbr\u003eMethodology inspired by Aryabhata\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePART TWO\u003cbr\u003eSome Lessons from Aryabhata's Life and Work\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePART TWO\u003cbr\u003eConcluding Remarks\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCHAPTER SEVEN\u003cbr\u003eAN ASSESSMENT OF ARYABHATA\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePART ONE\u003cbr\u003eAryabhata's Contributions to Mathematics\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePART TWO\u003cbr\u003eAryabhata's Contribution to Astronomy\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePART THREE\u003cbr\u003eAryabhata's Contribution to Scientific Spirit\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePART FOUR\u003cbr\u003eSome Weaknesses of Aryabhata's Contributions\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePART FIVE\u003cbr\u003eTributes to Aryabhata\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePART SIX\u003cbr\u003eAryabhata's Impact on Modern Mathematics\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBibliography\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The India Club","offers":[{"title":"D S Hooda \/ New Age International \/ Hardcover","offer_id":68153703137648,"sku":"6403","price":26.25,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1041\/5203\/9792\/files\/6403.jpg?v=1793912877","url":"https:\/\/marketcalvexa.shop\/products\/aryabhata-life-and-contributions","provider":"Alderstone House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
