2. Aryabhatta 476-550 *Born in 476 A.D., In kerala.
*A renowned mathematician and astronomer of ancient india.
*Studied at the University of Nalanda.
*One major work was Aryabhatiya written in 499 A.D.
*The book was based on astronomy,spherical trigonometry,arithmetic,algebra and plane trigonometry.

3. Aryabhatta
Pioneer to infer that the earth is spherical and rotates on its own axis,resulting in day and night.

4. *First mathematician to give the table of the sines.
Aryabhatta
Field of Mathematics: *Suggested a formula to calculate areas of triangles and circles.
*First mathematician to give the table of the sines.
*”Kuttaka Pulverise” method consisted of breaking problems down into new problems where coefficients became smaller and smaller with every step.

5. Aryabhatta
*Created method to find the highest common factor of a and b,also related to fractions.
*Gave a table of sins to calculate the values at intervals of 90/24=3 degree
45'
*Used a formula for sin (n+1) X-sin nx Sin nx and sin (n-1)x
*Introduced Versine = 1 (Cosine) into trigonometry.

6. Johannes Kepler 1571-1630 *Interested in astronomy at an early age.
*Studied to become Lutheran Minister
*Became a professor of mathematics instead.
*Kepler's three laws of planetary motion.Which led directly to Newtons laws of Motion.
Sometimes called Founder of modern optics.

7. Johannes Kepler Kepler's Law: Stated that planets move along ellipses.
He was one of the most important scientists ever.
Generalized Alhazen's Billiard problem, developed the notion of curvature.

8. Johannes Kepler
*First to notice the set of Platonic regular solids were incomplete when concave solids are admitted.
*First to prove there are only 13 Archimedean solids.
*Proved theorems of geometry.

9. *Discovered Fibonacci series, applied it to botany.
Johannes Kepler
*Discovered Fibonacci series, applied it to botany.
*Noted that the ratio of Fibonacci numbers converge to the Golden Mean.
*Early pioneer in calculus , embraced the idea of continuity.(others avoided due to the Zenos paradoxes.

10. Johannes Kepler *His work was an inspiration to Cavalieri.
*Developed a theory of logarithms.
*improved Napier's Tables.

11. Johannes Kepler
Was a very religious man, found a way to credit God for every discovery he made.
Did not have a lot of money to support his family.
Lived in poverty,and died in poverty.
Never knew fame or fortune.
