1. Aryabhata (476–550 CE)
 |
| Indian Mathematician |
Contributions:
- Continued fraction in arithmetic
- Quardatic equation and sum of power series in algebra
- Sine table in plane trigonometry
- Treatises on spherical trigonometry
- Treatises on Astronomy
2. Bhaskara I (600–680 CE)
 |
| Indian Mathematician |
I is appended to his name to distinguish him from a 12th-century Indian astronomer of the same name. He was the first to write numbers in the Hindu decimal system with a circle for the zero.
Contributions:
- Disseminate the mathematical work of Aryabhata
- Mahabhaskariya (“Great Book of Bhaskara”) on astronomy
- Laghubhaskariya (“Small Book of Bhaskara”) on astronomy
- Ryabhatiyabhashya prose commentary on the Aryabhatiya of Aryabhata
3. Brahamgupta (598-665)
 |
| Indian Mathematician |
Contributions:
- Method to find cube and cube-root of an integer
- Rules facilitating the computation of squares and square roots
- Provided formula for the sum of the squares of the first n natural number
- Provided formula for the sum of the cube of the first n natural number
- His book "Brahmasphutasiddhanta” is probably the earliest known text to treat zero as a number in its own right, rather than as simply a placeholder digit as was done by the Babylonians, or as a symbol for a lack of quantity as was done by the Greeks and Romans.
4. Srinivasa Ramanujan (1887-1920)
 |
| Indian Mathematician |
Contributions:
- Compiled nearly 3,900 results (mostly identities and equations)
- His legendry work such as Ramanujan prime and the Ramanujan theta function, have inspired a vast amount of further research
5. Prasanta Chandra Mahalanobis(1893-1972)
 |
| Indian Mathematician |
Contributions:
- Mahalanobis distance, a statistical measure
- One of the members of the first Planning Commission of free india
- Founder of Indian Statistical Institute, and contribution to the design of large-scale sample surveys
Awards and Recognition:
- Fellow of the Royal Society, London (1945)
- President of Indian Science Congress (1950)
- Fellow of the American Statistical Association (1961)
6. Calyampudi Radhakrishna Rao(1920-Till date)

- International Mahalanobis Prize (2003) of the International Statistical Institute
- Padma Bhushan (1968)
- Megnadh Saha Medal (1969) of the Indian National Science Academy
- JC Bose Gold Medal of the Bose Institute
- Gold Medal of the University of Calcutta
7. D. R. Kaprekar(1905-1986)
 |
| Indian Mathematician |
Kaprekar constant is his one of the most famous contribution. Let's start with any four-digit number, not all the digits being equal. Suppose we choose 4637. Rearrange the digits to form the largest and smallest numbers with these digits, namely 7643 and 3467, and subtract the smaller from the larger to obtain 4167. Continue the process with this number - subtract 1467 from 7641 and we obtain 6174, Kaprekar's constant.
Contributions:
- Kaprekar constant (6174)
- A Kaprekar number n is such that n2 can be split into two so that the two parts sum to n. For example 7032 = 494209. But 494 + 209 = 703.
- Many other contributions in number theory.
8. Satyendranath Bose(1894-1974)
