It is no doubt that the world today is greatly indebted to the contributions made by Indian mathematicians. One of the most important contribution made by them was the introduction of decimal system as well as the invention of zero. Here are some the famous Indian mathematicians dating back from Indus Valley civilization and Vedas to Modern times.
1. Aryabhata
Aryabhata worked on the place value system using letters to signify numbers and stating qualities. He discovered the position of nine planets and stated that these planets revolve around the sun. He also stated the correct number of days in a year that is 365. More on Aryabhata.
2. Brahmagupta
The most significant contribution of Brahmagupta was the introduction of zero(0) to the mathematics which stood for “nothing”. More on Brahmagupta.
3. Srinivasa Ramanujan
Srinivasa Ramanujan is one of the celebrated Indian mathematicians. His important contributions to the field include Hardy-Ramanujan-Littlewood circle method in number theory, Roger-Ramanujan’s identities in partition of numbers, work on algebra of inequalities, elliptic functions, continued fractions, partial sums and products of hypergeometric series.
More on Ramanujan.
4. P.C. Mahalanobis
Prasanta Chandra Mahalanobis is the founder of Indian Statistical Institute as well as the National Sample Surveys for which he gained international recognition.
5. C.R. Rao
Calyampudi Radhakrishna Rao, popularly known as C R Rao is a well known statistician, famous for his “theory of estimation”.
6. D. R. Kaprekar
D. R. Kaprekar discovered several results in number theory, including a class of numbers and a constant named after him. Without any formal mathematical education he published extensively and was very well known in recreational mathematics cricle.
7. Harish Chandra
Harish Chandra is famously known for infinite dimensional group representation theory.
8. Satyendranath Bose
Known for his collaboration with Albert Einstein. He is best known for his work on quantum mechanics in the early 1920s, providing the foundation for Bose–Einstein statistics and the theory of the Bose–Einstein condensate.
9. Bhāskara
Bhāskara was the one who declared that any number divided by zero is infinity and that the sum of any number and infinity is also infinity. He is also famous for his book “Siddhanta Siromani”.
10. Narendra Karmarkar
Narendra Karmarkar is known for his Karmarkar’s algorithm. He is listed as an highly cited researcher by Institute for Scientific Information.

This helped me in my maths project
You are help please
They are great 😉 🙂 *********
the world most special gift is “MATHEMATICS”
so super
I love all of them and diside I spend my life on MATHEMATICS
very useful helped me a lot!!!!
i have one doubt who first framed the set of rules for dealing with negative numbers
IT REALLY HELPED ME IN MY PROJECT ABOUT EMINENT MATHEMATICIANS AND THRIR CONTRIBUTIONS…..I AM JUST IN CLASS NINE AND I AM GRATEFUL TO THIS.
It help in my homework
i think that Srinivasa ramanujan is also one of the top most indian mathematician
Impressive work done by the mathematicians .but top is ramanujan
this list is very usefull but add some todays mathmatician
I think this list should be even more perfect when shakuntala devi’s name is added in it . Except this thing the list is perfect
thanks for giving such better information about indian mathematicians
I am very glad to known I was born a land where many mathematicians born.
thanks
where is shakuntala devi
i am very proud of our ancient mathematician heroes. they inspire us so much to learn and enjoy the subject. my heartiest pranams to all those geniuses…….
Where is the great Varahamihira????? this list is meaningless without him!
I thought that Aryabhata invented the number zero ( 0 )
This helpful me in completing my maths project
I think Harish Chandra is also one of the top Indian mathematician.
This is very helpful to me in my project
And
Iam proud to be an Indian☺
I think sakunthaladevi is also one of the top most indian mathematician
yes .you’re right
You are right I also think this.
thank u for giving information about the top 10 indian mathematicians
I think this list should be even more perfect when shakuntala devi’s name is added in it . Except this thing the list is perfect .
Information about maths and mathematicans is great one and their work also praiseful l am pleased for their contribution
I accept that Shakuntala Devi has not Contributed any thing for the betterment of Mathematics but, she is considered as the human computer and her inspiring books will very well build the foundation of many other budding mathematicians!!!!
gud website but more details should be given for bhaskara II
otherwise a brilliant page
this helped me in completing my speech on mathematics week
i like ramanujan
Dr vashishth narayan singh from basantpur,arah,patna ,bihar is the greatest indian mathematician alive.who r the people mentioned after rank5?
these all 10 mathematicians are very famous especially srinivasa ramanjunam
tis website is vry useful 4 making projects……. thanq
It helps in my school activity. Thank You!
this helped me in homework
I like aryabhata
nice but Shakuntla devi is left you must add her also
Thanks
That page was good and it was much helpful for my maths project. That mathematicians are perfect for my maths project.
I would like to add in this list two names:
Dr. Narlikar and Dr. P.c.vaidya. Both contributed lot
in math.
All mathematicians always inspire me. Maths help to create new psychological world.
thank you so much………this helped me in project……thanks alot
Contribution of top ten mathematicians is invaluable.
and very proud that v r indians hi na . maths is my breathe and these people make me think that maths deserve its fans .greatest subject . many a great indians mathematicians. ramanujam even during his death was working on maths
VERY NICE 😀
well. but keep top 20 mathematicians of India.
Very good
This was really helpful for me to do my projects in school as this websitegives the top ten Indian Mathematicians with a small description rather than Hundreds of Mathematicians(like Wikipedia)….
Cheers!
The difference between genious and stupidity is that genious has its own limits
dude that was said by albert einstein
this is perfect but
the shakuntala devi is left
Shakunthala Devi was a child prodigy and was able to do great mathematical calculation in a short time,But she cannot be considered as a mathematician because she has not contributed anything to mathematics… 🙂
Also Shankaloi gari was left out
It is indeed a great pity that the ‘human computer’ Sakuntala Devi has been left out here.
the perfect history of indian mathematics . i am very proud of mynation
this helped me in homework
Yes it also helped in my homework
For me the same it is hepls me in home work…..
Me also
where’s ramanujan?
Ramanujan’s number three
It’s there right ramanujan
really very helpful article.. the contribution of Top 10 Indian mathematicians have been explained very nicely, that too in concise manner.. it really helped me a great deal in preparing my project on Indian Mathematicians.. thanks a lot !
I’d suggest the authors of the “PRIMES is in P” paper, Manindra Agrawal, Neeraj Kayal and Nitin Saxena from IIT Kanpur, who won the 2006 Gödel Prize and the 2006 Fulkerson Prize, for this work.
I’d put C.S.Seshadri(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C._S._Seshadri) or his frequent collaborator M.S.Narsimhan(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M_S_Narasimhan) above Karmarkar.
Sri Lakkoju Sanjeevaraya Sharma
Renowned Mathematics Genius, who won 13 Gold Medals worldwide, and blind by birth.
In one Avadhaanam Sanjeevaraya Sharma has given answer to the question “2 to the Power of 103” with in seconds, the resultant number has 32 digits. But he is not a educated person and even He is a blind by birth. He has conducted around 6000 Ganitha avadhaanas across the world.
Sanjeevaraya Sharma born on 22nd Novemebr 1907 in Kadapa District Kallur village.
He was Identified as a blind child when he is born ,so People around told just put a “Vadla ginja” in his mouth to kill him, he servived Even after doing that.
He gain all the knowledge by just listening. In his time there is no Braille system to which helps blind people for reading.He was listening to his sister whenever she reads the lessons taught in School. Without knowing how 1,2,3 digits looks he became Ganitha Brahma.He learned the Voileen also.
Anibisent,Nehru,Rajendra Prasad and Shakunthala Devi all saw his Avadhanams. Shakunthala Devi agreed that he is talented than her. Once British ViceRoy told If he would have Born in Our Country We could have worshipped him by placing his Idol in the center of the City.
He is also known as Anka VidyaSagara, Vishwa Sankhya Acharya.
In his last days he spent his time in the Premises of Kala Hasti Eeshwara Temple by Playing the Voileen. He died on Dec 2nd 1997.
Through out his life he lived in Poverty.
He is one among the world’s top most 6 Mathematicians.
