1. Aryabhata: his work, named "Aryabhatiya", is one of the first Indian mathematical compilations in India, supposedly on 500 A.D. It is compared to "The Elements", of Euclid, i.e., a compilations of previous mathematics who didn't leave published material.
2. Brahmagupta: in his works are found some interesting things , in special: one of the first representaions of the number "zero"; early representations of "square roots"; integer solutions for the linear diophantine equations, etc. His main work is named "Brahmasphuta Siddhanta" and he lived on the 7th century.
3. Bhaskara: maybe the most important mathematician of the 12th century, he studied and improved the work of Brahmagupta, adding some new observations, as to consider that the division of a number different of zero (n≠0) by zero is equal to infinite (n/0 = ∞). He supposeddly lived between 1114 and 1185 and has mainly two big works: "Vija-Ganita" and "Lilavati".
4. Ramanujan: the so-called Indian genious of the 20th century. Autodidact, he was known for his shap reasoning. His contributions, among others, are the Ramanujan Conjecture, the Ramanujam's Sum and the Ramanujam Theta Function. There is a quite interesting case involving him.
His friend, Godfrey Hardy, visited him when he was ill at a hospital in the district of Putney, London. He had ridden in taxi cab number 1729 and said to Ramanujan that it was an uninteresting number. Ramanujan replied then that 1729 was a quite interesting number, for it was the smallest number expressible as the sum of two cubes in two different ways (1³ + 12³ = 1729³ = 9³ + 10³).

How math is related to Islam?
Islamic mathematicians contributed the concept of zero to mathematics. The concept of the number zero is fairly important."Al-Khorezmi was the originator of algebra and brought the Indian system of numbers (wrongly attributed to the Arabs here in the west) to the Arab countries. His name is associated with the word algorithm."Islamic scholars translated Greek and Indian mathematics texts into the Arabic language during the 9th century AD. Islamic mathematics served their religion when dividing inheritances according to Islamic law, predicting the rise of the new moon when each month began, and determining the direction of Mecca for the orientation of mosques and the direction to face when saying daily prayers. An Islamic mathematician wrote an introduction to algebra, and the English word algebra comes from the words al-jabr in the title. The Islamic mathematicians's name, Al-Khwārizmī's, is still in use as the mathematical term algorithm.10th and 11th century Islamic scholars produced algebraic solutions of quadratic and cubic equations, and the algebra of polynomials with an infinite number of terms.12th century Islamic mathematicians developed solutions for cubic equations and optics problems geometrically by using conic sections. They used tangents and cotangents in trigonometry, and added to the Greek Archimedes's investigations of areas and volumes.13th century Islamic contributions included plane and spherical trigonometry and advances in the mathematics of astronomy, the theory of numbers, and a variety of new methods of solving equations.
What do you call a 199 sided shape?
For large numbers, mathematicians usually write the numeral itself, e.g.17-gon. A variable can even be used, usually n-gon.
