Born: A.D.3
Aryabhata was an important figure in traditional Indian mathematics and astronomy. From the classical period forward, India has produced a long line of visionary mathematicians known as mathematicians of vision. Modern astrophysics and mathematics may trace their roots back to the research and writings linked with him, which were decades ahead of their time when they were first published.
Early Life
Ashmaka, where Aryabhata was born in AD, is recognized as the birthplace of the great Indian philosopher. Researchers are unable to pinpoint his exact birthdate, but one of his works dates from roughly 3, years into the Kali Yuga, allowing for some reasonable guesswork. Ashmaka's birthplace is a mystery. However, Maharashtra or Dhaka may be considered. His upper-level study may have taken place in Kusumapura, and he may have resided in the region for quite some time, according to historical sources from the period. In fact, there has been some

Biography
Aryabhata is also known as Aryabhata I to distinguish him from the later mathematician of the same name who lived about years later. Al-Biruni has not helped in understanding Aryabhata's life, for he seemed to believe that there were two different mathematicians called Aryabhata living at the same time. He therefore created a confusion of two different Aryabhatas which was not clarified until when B Datta showed that al-Biruni's two Aryabhatas were one and the same person.We know the year of Aryabhata's birth since he tells us that he was twenty-three years of age when he wrote AryabhatiyaⓉ which he finished in We have given Kusumapura, thought to be close to Pataliputra (which was refounded as Patna in Bihar in ), as the place of Aryabhata's birth but this is far from certain, as is even the location of Kusumapura itself. As Parameswaran writes in [26]:-
no final verdict can be given regarding the locations of Asmakajanapada and Kusumapura.We do know that A
