Invention of zero is the greatest contribution of India in the field of arithmatic which was used by the Aryabhatta in 5th century. To express whole number with fraction use of decimal is a revolutionary base of the presentation of decimal system to develop arithmatic. In fact, decimal system invented in India and then spread in whole world through the medium of scriptures. After 7th century these were translated in Arabic language from Sanskrit.

Arybhatta has given the knowledge of square root, cube root, triangle, circumference of a circle, formulas to find out area, diagonals, perpendicular and their use, parallel, etc. Knowledge about all these was described in Aryabhatta. In the 7th century, the text of Aryabhatta had been translated into Latin language. In ancient time, Bhaskaracharya, an Indian scholar, had given the knowledge that any positive number divided by zero gives the remainder of ‘infinity’. The books such as Lilawati and Siddhant Siromani are world famous, which were written by him. In 500 BC, Acharya Ladadev had made the first to determine the date and time of the world. The Pythagoras theorem, which is at present very famous in the field of mathematics, was discovered by Baudhayan, 2700 years ago, which was known as ‘Chiti Parimaiy.’ Shankaracharya Bharati Krishna of Puri discovered Vedic mathematics after deep study. Therefore, India’s contribution is important in the field of mathematics.
