Brahmagupta's Trigonometry: A Sampler

Authors(1) :-V. Ramesh Babu

Brahmagupta (598-668 CE), an eminent Indian mathematician and astronomer, made significant contributions to mathematics, particularly in algebra, arithmetic, geometry, and trigonometry. His work, notably the Brahmasphutasiddhanta, introduced early formulations of sine and cosine functions, explored relationships within right triangles, and provided a formula for the area of cyclic quadrilaterals. Brahmagupta's contributions significantly influenced later mathematics in India and the Islamic world, shaping the development of algebra and geometry and leaving a lasting legacy.
