Brahmagupta's treatise transformed mathematics by treating zero as a number, allowing arithmetic with ten symbols, which includes nine numbers plus zero, enabling expression of any quantity.
Recognized for his work on zero, Brahmagupta also innovated rules for positive and negative numbers and described gravity as an attractive force before Newton.
His breakthrough work in mathematics and astronomy derived from earlier Indian genius Aryabhata, proving to be fundamental for modern calculations related to celestial movements.
Brahmagupta’s contributions laid the groundwork for future mathematicians by making complex calculations accessible, which had profound influences on fields such as astronomy.
