The most fundamental contribution by ancient India in the field of mathematics has been the decimal system of numeration and the invention of the number ' zero '. The numerals used by the modern world originated in India.Mathematicians like Aryabhata, Bhaskar, Brahmagupta and S.Ramanujam of the later age have done India proud. The invention of trignometry,algebra,arithmetic, geometry, the discovery of astronomy and calendar making is credited to India. In Siddhanta Siromani (Bhuvanakosam 6) Bhaskaracharya II
