Being one of the first to give a formula for solving quadratic equations is one contribution Sridhara Acharya made to mathematics. He also gave an exposition on zero, wrote practical applications of algebra separated algebra from arithmetic, and found the method of multiplying a fraction by the reciprocal of the divisor when dividing a fraction.
