3. Bhaskara I 3a. He was a

mathematician who was
able to establish the
Hindu decimal system
and approximated the
sine function based off of
Aryabhata’s work.

3b. Bhaskara I also

contributed to the growth
of astronomy and
mathematics by writing
three books. In 629, he
wrote the Aryabhatiya on
mathematical astronomy
on variable equations and
trigonometric functions.

4. Madhava 4a. Madhava made

pioneering contributions
to the study of infinite
series, calculus,
trigonometry, geometry,
and algebra.

4b. He was the first

mathematician to provide
the formula for the area
of a cyclic quadrilateral.

4c. He was the pioneer in

formulating infinite series
approximations for
trigonometric functions.

Arabic numerals.

2b. He did a lot of work

on the number theory,

3. Omar Khayyam 3a. His works are evident

in a book he published,
called “Explanations of
the Difficulties in the
Postulates of Euclid”.

contribution to
mathematics being in the
area of trigonometry.

mathematician and
astronomer, whose
prescient ideas on the
infinite and the

influenced later
mathematicians like
