Unsung Heroes of Indian Mathematicians
India boasts a rich legacy of unsung heroes in the realm of mathematics, each leaving an indelible mark on the field. Aryabhata, a pioneering mathematician from the 5th century, introduced the revolutionary concepts of zero and decimals. Brahmagupta, in the 7th century, significantly contributed to algebra and formulated rules for arithmetic operations, including zero
