II. Bhāskara

II. Bhāskara veya sadece Bhaskara (1114 – 1185) 12. yüzyılda yaşamış Hint matematikçi. "Öğretmen Bhaskara" anlamına gelen Bhaskara Achārya olarak da anılmıştır. Bijjada Bida (bugünkü Bijapur bölgesi, Karnataka eyaleti, Güney Hindistan) yakınlarında, Deşastha Brahmin bir aileye doğmuştur. Varahamihira ve Brahmagupta matematik geleneğini takip eden Bhaskara, zaman içinde Ujjain'deki astronomi gözlemevinin başı konumuna gelmiştir. Batı Maharaştra'nın Sahyadri bölgesinde yaşamıştır. Torunu, 1207 yılında Bhaskara'nın eserlerinin çalışılması ve incelenmesi için bir okul kurmuştur.[1]

Bhaskara ve eserleri 12. yüzyıldaki matematik ve astronomi bilgisine büyük katkılarda bulunmuştur. Temel eserleri aritmetikle ilgili olan Lilivati, cebir ile ilgili olan Bijaganita ve iki bölümden oluşan Siddhanta Şiromani'dir. 1150'de yazılmış olan Siddhanta Şiromani'nin iki kısmı şunlardır: Goladhyaya (küre) ve Grahaganita (gezegenlerin matematiği).

Plofker, Kim (2007). "Mathematics in India", The Mathematics of Egypt, Mesopotamia, China, India, and Islam: A Sourcebook. s. 447. Bhāskara, who lived in the Sahyadri region in western Maharashtra, was born in 1114 into a family whose members may have filled hereditary posts as court scholars (at least, it is recorded that his great-great-great-grandfather held such a position under a noble patron, as did Bhaskara's son and some other descendants). Hardly anything is known about the other events of Bhāskara's life; it is speculated that he may have had a daughter named Lilavati because of his allusions to a girl so addressed in his book on arithmetic, and his son's son helped to set up a school in 1207 for the study of Bhaskara's writings.
