Aryabhatta is inventor of zero in place-value system.Not only this he shown a great skill in mathematics and astronomy.He knows the value of pi.
This implies that the ratio of the circumference to the diameter is ((4 + 100) × 8 + 62000)/20000 = 62832/20000 = 3.1416, which is accurate to five significant figures.
He calculated solar and lunar eclipse and sidereal rotation of earth ( rotation speed of earth),advocated the heliocentricism in 476 CE.
Hats off Aryabhatta..

Even Albert Einstein has respected Indians for inventing numbers as a token of respect our satellite has been named after this great mathematician Aryabhatta
