Little is thought about the life of Bhaskara; I am affixed to his name to recognize him from a twelfth-century Indian stargazer of a similar name. In his compositions, there are signs of potential areas for his life, for example, Valabhi, the capital of the Maitraka tradition, and Ashoka, a town in Andhra Pradesh, and the area of a school of supporters of Aryabhata. His notoriety lays on three compositions he made on the works out of Aryabhata. Two of these compositions referred to the present time as Mahabhaskariya ("Great Book of Bhaskara") and Laghubhaskariya ("Small Book of Bhaskara"), are galactic works in section, while Aryabhatiyabhashya (629) is a writing editorial on the Aryabhatiya of Aryabhata. Bhaskara's works were especially mainstream in South India.
Planetary longitudes, heliacal rising and setting of the planets, conjunctions among the planets and stars, sun oriented and lunar obscurations, and the periods of the Moon are among the points Bhaskara examines in his cosmic compositions. He additionally incorporates an astoundingly exact estimate for the sine work: in current documentation, sin x = 4x(180 − x)/(40,500 − x(180 − x)), where x is in degrees.
In his discourse on the Aryabhatiya, Bhaskara clarifies in detail Aryabhata's strategy for unraveling straight conditions and gives some illustrative galactic models. Bhaskara especially focused on the significance of demonstrating numerical guidelines as opposed to simply depending on convention or convenience. In supporting Aryabhata's estimation to π, Bhaskara condemned the customary utilization of Square root of√10 for it (regular among Jain mathematicians).
