Centuries later in Kerala, Madhava took it to eleven decimal places, landing within four digits of what NASA uses to navigate spacecraft today. #Aryabhata #Madhava #AncientIndianMathematics #HistoryOfPi #KeralaMathematics Save this for the next time someone says ancient India had no real science. Three hundred years before Newton was even born, a mathematician in Kerala had already worked out the logic behind calculus. Madhava of Sangamagrama calculated pi to eleven decimal places and showed that sine and cosine could be written as infinite series, the same idea the world later called the Taylor series. All of this happened on a palm leaf, in a village most people have never heard of. We are taught Newton and Leibniz invented calculus. Three hundred years earlier, Madhava of Sangamagrama was already doing it on a palm leaf in Kerala. He calculated pi to eleven decimal places.
