Bhāskara I
Bhāskara (c. 600 – c. 680) ((ベンガル語:ভাস্কর); (マラーティー語:भास्कर) commonly called Bhaskara I to avoid confusion with the 12th century mathematician Bhāskara II) was a 7th-century Indian mathematician, who was apparently the first to write numbers in the Hindu decimal system with a circle for the zero, and who gave a unique and remarkable rational approximation of the sine function in his commentary on Aryabhatta's work.〔(Bhaskara I ), Britannica.com〕 This commentary, ''Āryabhaṭīyabhāṣya'', written in 629 CE, is the oldest known prose work in Sanskrit on mathematics and astronomy. He also wrote two astronomical works in the line of Aryabhata's school, the Mahābhāskarīya and the Laghubhāskarīya.

He was born at Bori, in Parbhani district of Maharashtra state in India in 7th century.
His astronomical education was given by his father. Bhaskara is considered the most important scholar of Aryabhata's astronomical school. He and Brahmagupta are two of the most renowned Indian mathematicians who made considerable contributions to the study of fractions.
