Āryabhaṭa was one of the earliest Indian Mathematicians & Astronomers whose pioneering work in these fields is still referenced by many modern scholars world over.
With so much wisdom compiled in one single book,Let’s have an insight into d book & how its composer created it.

Before the book, there were Vedic scriptures which detailed mathematical relationships in geometrical shapes for the construction of altars and temples ; But what makes Aryabhatiya so different is the way it was written.
The Āryabhaṭīyaṃ’s entire script was written in Sanskrit
The Āryabhaṭīyaṃ’s entire script was written in Sanskrit
& hence reads like a poetic verse rather than a practical manual.
The book has exactly 123 Verses in it.
It contains 4 Adhyāyās or sections, each covering various fields :
I) Gītīkāpāḍaṃ (13 verses) : Dealt with time, especially large units of time.

III) Kalakriyapada (25 verses) : Told how one could determine the positions of the planet for any given day

Āryabhaṭīyaṃ is the oldest book ever to use alphabetic numerals.
Āryabhaṭīyaṃ is the oldest book ever to use alphabetic numerals.
That means Āryabhaṭa used letters of the alphabet to form number-words, with consonants giving digits and vowels denoting place value of those digits. This allowed him to do complex calculations of large numbers and even execute divisions.
