  3. Aryabhatta • While Europe was in its early Dark Age, Aryabhatta advanced arithmetic, algebra, elementary analysis, and especially trigonometry, using the decimal system. • Aryabatta Is sometimes called the father of algebra.

  4. Great accomplishments of Aryabhatta • The accomplishment was the Aryabhatta Algorithm, it was the connection to continue fractions for solving Diophantine equations. • Aryabhatta made several important discoveries in astronomy; for example, his estimate of he Earth’s circumference was more accurate than any achieved in anceint Greece.

  6. Christiaan Huygens • He was born on 1629 • He died on 1695 • He was born in Holland, France

  7. Info on Christiaan Huygens • He was second only to Newton as the greatest mechanist of his era • He was much more famous for his physical theories and inventions • He developed laws of motion before newton • Such as the inverse square law of gravitation • Also the centripetal force • And last the treatment of solid bodies rather than point approximations

  8. Christiaan’s greatest inventions • Huygens is famous for his inventions of clocks and lenses. • He invented the escapement and other mechanisms • With that invention, it lead to the first reliable pendulim clock • He also built the first balance spring watch
