Aryabhata (AD 476 - 550), is the author of several treatises on mathematics and astronomy, some of which are lost. His major work, Aryabhatiya, a compendium of mathematics and astronomy, was extensively referred to in the Indian mathematical literature, and has survived to modern times. The mathematical part of the Aryabhatiya covers arithmetic, algebra, plane trigonometry and spherical trigonometry. It also contains continued fractions, quadratic equations, sums of power series and a table of sines.Aryabhata is the author of several treatises on mathematics and astronomy, some of which are lost.

Who are the three best mathematician of modern times?

The greatest mathematician of modern times is Carl Friedrich Gauss (1777-1855). He is also known as "Prince of Mathematicians", "greatest mathematician since antiquity" and "German Archimedes". According to Felix Klein, greatest mathematician of the nineteen century, "if we seek heroes of roughly equal stature in the history of our science, only two forerunners of Gauss can be considered to have been equally blessed by nature: Archimedes and Newton" (in "Development of Mathematics in the 19th Century", page 55).
