It was through Brahmagupta's book Brahma Sphuta Siddhanta that the Arabs came to know of Indian astronomy. The famous king Khalif Abbasid Al Mansoor(712-775) founded Baghdad, which is situated on the banks of the Tigris, and made it a center of learning. The King invited a scholar of Ujjain by the name of Kanka in 770 A.D. Kanka used the Brahma Sphuta Siddhanta to explained the Hindu system of arithmetic and astronomy.
