Indians have made a lot of contribution towards maths. Invention of Zero, Vedic Maths, calculation regarding stars done about 2500 years ago, Aryabhatt I & II, Bhaskera, B rhamgupta, problems created by Ramanujam are still unsolved.

indian contribution to mathematics is enormous. the sutras( principles) in vedic maths can teach you to solve a problem that takes 20 to 40 steps in the odinary way , in 1 or 2 steps.it covers almost everything from multiplication & division ,right upto integration by partial fractions. learning basics of vedic maths can greatly help you work superfast in competitive exams( CAT, GRE etc)

Bhaskara, born in 1114 C.E. (1114 – 1185), also known as Bhaskara II and Bhaskara Achārya ("Bhaskara the teacher"), was an Indian mathematician and astronomer. He was born near Bijjada Bida (in present day Bijapur district, Karnataka state, South India) into the Deshastha Brahmin family. Bhaskaracharya, as he was known in India, was born to Mahesvara, another famous astrologer. He became head of the astronomical observatory atUjjain, the leading mathematical center in India at the time, thus continuing the mathematical tradition of previously renowned mathematicians, Varahamihira and Brahmagupta. Bhaskaracharya learnt mathematics from his father. After being introduced to the works of a previous famous mathematician, Brahmagupta, Bhaskaracharya was so inspired that he devoted himself to mathematics for the rest of his life. After his daughter, Lilavati, was widowed at the age of six, he even influenced her to study mathematics—it is not known, however, how great of a mathematician she became. When it came to algebra, Bhaskaracharya followed Brahmagupta’s work closely as his guru, and went about extending Brahmagupta’s works. -Bhaskaracharya written his book sidhanta siromani J V INCHOOR MADABHAVI BIJAPUR DISTRICT KARNATAKA INDIA

zero, think of vedic mathematics... Indians are the brightest and the most intelligent set of people in this world... Indians knew more about the universe 2000 years back even before the modern day astronomers could explain about it...
