🧵#Thread Here’s why his genius is unforgettable. 👇
1. The Value of π (Pi)
Aryabhata gave the world the first accurate value of π (3.1416).
Using innovative geometry with a bow & chord method, he calculated circumference-to-diameter ratio centuries before modern math confirmed it.

2. Founder of Algebraic Thought
To solve complex problems, Aryabhata invented equations & laid the base for algebra.
His Arya Theory transformed mathematics into a tool for astronomy, engineering & daily life.

3. The Discovery of Zero (0)
Imagine math without zero.
Aryabhata’s work made the concept of zero concrete, revolutionizing calculation forever.
Without zero, modern science, computers & even space exploration wouldn’t exist.

4. Eclipses Explained
At a time when people believed Rahu “swallowed” the Sun & Moon, Aryabhata proved eclipses happen due to Earth’s shadow.
He replaced myth with science, showing how reason can dissolve superstition.

5. Trigonometry (Sine & Cosine)
Every student learns Sine & Cosine today.
But few know Aryabhata defined them 1,500 years ago.
His work made trigonometry the language of astronomy, navigation & modern physics.

6. Astronomical Accuracy
Aryabhata calculated Earth’s rotation, the length of a year, planetary positions & orbits with astonishing accuracy.
Much of his data matches today’s scientific measurements.

7. Aryabhata’s Aryabhatiya became a foundation for global mathematics & astronomy.
Zero, π, trigonometry, algebra, eclipses his genius continues to guide science, technology & space research.
Aryabhata wasn’t just an Indian mathematician.
He was a world scientist ahead of his time, proving that India’s ancient wisdom is the root of modern science.
