About the author

Brahmagupta (c. 598 – c. 668 CE) was an Indian mathematician and astronomer.
He is the author of two early works on mathematics and astronomy: the Brāhmasphuṭasiddhānta (BSS, "correctly established doctrine of Brahma", dated 628), a theoretical treatise, and the Khaṇḍakhādyaka ("edible bite", dated 665), a more practical text.

Brahmagupta was the first to give rules to compute with zero. The texts composed by Brahmagupta were in elliptic verse[clarification needed] in Sanskrit, as was common practice in Indian mathematics. As no proofs are given, it is not known how Brahmagupta's results were derived

This was really inspiring because he was an asthmatic with beautiful thoughts and genius mathematical skills. He influenced the mathematicians to come and astronomy too!!!!!!
