He was regarded as the first of the major mathematician-astronomers from the classical age.

He worked on the ‘place value system’ using letters to signify numbers and stating qualities. He discovered the position of the 9 planets and found that these planets revolve around the sun. He also described the number of days in a year to be 365.

His important contributions to this field are

Work on the algebra of inequalities

Elliptic functions

Continued fractions

Partial sums and products of hypergeometric series
