Aryabhata the Elder

Indian Astronomer and Mathematician Born 476 AD Died 550 AD Writter of Aryabhatiya & The Arya-siddhanta

Check this out, my understanding of chords and half chorads were used in my creation of the very first sine table which still hold accuracy too this day.

[Aryabhata the Elder @Aryabhata9]

One of my most lasting impacts is that of my calculation of the length of sidereal year, still used in practical purposes of fixing the Panchangam (the Hindu calendar). In the Islamic world, they formed the basis of the Jalali calendar using my calendric calculations.

I mean i get that there's no records of my physical appearance guys but come on this isn't even close! I'm not complaing though you guys made me pretty swole.💪

[Aryabhata the Elder @Aryabhata9]

Sadly there's no information on anything about my personal life or accurate dates of my birthday, and frankly i cant remember anything either. #whatwasinthoseinsents

[Aryabhata the Elder @Aryabhata9]

Reeeeeeeeeeeeeally, just found out this braughtwusrt eatin German guy by the name of Johannes Kepler is getting credited for the discovery of the plants eclipse like rotation and not me when i did it 1000 years earlier. #pissed

[Aryabhata the Elder @Aryabhata9]

I also heavily discussed and influenced the idea of sine, creating unbelievably accurate sine tables using the formula sin(n+1)x. I also introduced the concept of versine into trigonometry (1-cosnie)

[Aryabhata the Elder @Aryabhata9]

This space stuff has been cool and all but ill never forget my trigonometry roots. I discovered how to find the area of a triangle as states in the Aryabhatiya "for a triangle, the result of a perpendicular with the half-side is the area"

[Aryabhata the Elder @Aryabhata9]

My work in astronomy was literally the frame work for early astronomers to follow, to honor me India's first ever satellite is named after me, And a crater on the moon! Try and top that one loser.

[Aryabhata the Elder @Aryabhata9]

Finally another great discovery that I claim is the realization that the earth rotates on its axis daily, and that the movement of the nights sky is retaliative to the movement of earth contrary to the popular belief of my time.

[Aryabhata the Elder @Aryabhata9]

Smh, i cant believe people actually believed this joker Rahu was responsible for eclipses, it was actually me who first realized that eclipses what they were. And using my calculations pf the earths rotation i was accurately able to predict eclipse back in the 4th century

[Aryabhata the Elder @Aryabhata9]

Another distinct discover of mine is that of the luminosity of planets, that its the reflection of sunlight that allows us to see other planets and the moon.

[Aryabhata the Elder @Aryabhata9]

Using this observatory and my understanding specifically trigonometry to be the first in history to give a unbelievably close approximation on various things such as the circumference of the earth and the 9 planets orbit, you could say i was a bit ahead of my time.

[Aryabhata the Elder @Aryabhata9]

Yah this, observatory is the move thanks @emmmalinn

[Aryabhata the Elder @Aryabhata9]

See, my man George Ifrah knows whats up. Even though I didn't have a symbol for it, my recognition of the number and idea of zero was very prevalent in my understanding of null-coefficients.

[Aryabhata the Elder @Aryabhata9]

might bool around and set up an observatory at the Sun temple in Taregana, Bihar. Just a thought tho

[Aryabhata the Elder @Aryabhata9]

This algebra stuff is pretty boring i need something new to do🤭🤭

[Aryabhata the Elder @Aryabhata9]

Anyone need a way to solve new way to solve linear equations? Just Pulverize them, i call it my kuttakara method, break them down into smaller coefficients.

[Aryabhata the Elder @Aryabhata9]

Its been getting great reviews from mathematicians all over southern India!

[Aryabhata the Elder @Aryabhata9]

Check out my new book Aryabhatiya! This edition includes: Names for the first 10 decimal places, algorithms for obtaining a square and cubed root, my method of constructing sine tables using the Pythagorean theorem, compound interest, and solutions for various linear equations.

[Aryabhata the Elder @Aryabhata9]

When you're the first one to approximate pi to the fourth decimal place😎 Like come on guys its as easy as ((4 + 100) × 8 + 62000)/20000 = 62832/20000 = 3.1416
