• He advanced in arithmetic, algebra, and
  trigonometry using the decimal system
• He is sometimes called Father of Algebra
• His most famous accomplishment in mathematics was
  the Aryabhatta Algorithm which means solving for
  diophantine equations

Aryabhatta

• He studied at the University of Nalanda
• One major work was Aryabhatiya
• The book dealt with many topics like astronomy,
  spherical triogonometry, arithmetic, algebra and
  plane trigonometry
• It was translated in latin in the 13th century

Aryabhatta

• He made several important discoveries in
  astronomy for example his estimate of the earths
  circumference was more accurate than any achieved
  in ancient Greece

• Science is built up with facts, as a house is
  with stones. But a collection of facts is no
  more a science than a heap of stones is a house.
  
• Thought is only a flash between two long
  nights, but this flash is everything.

Jules Henri Poincare

• Born in France 1854-1912
• Poincare found the theory of algebraic topology

Jules Henri

• He also was deeply interested in philosophy of
  science
• He argued for conventionalism and against both
