Mahavira was a 10th century Indian mathematician from Gulbarga who asserted that the square root of a negative number did not exist. He gave the sum of a series whose terms are squares of an arithmetical progression and empirical rules for area and perimeter of an ellipse. He was patronised by the great Rashtrakuta king Amoghavarsha. Mahavira was the author of Ganit Saar Sangraha. He separated Astrology from Mathematics.He did assertion on the same subjects on which Aryabhata and Bramhagupta contended, but he did it with more easier way. He has more respect in Indian Mathematicians, because was the first to give terminology about equilateral, isosceles triangle, rhombus, circle and semi-circle.

Formula about Cyclic Quadrilateral

'Mahavira' gave characteristics of Cyclic Quadrilateral like that of Bramhagupta. He also gave formula about sides and diagonal of Cyclic Quadrilateral.

If sides of Cyclic Quadrilateral are a,b,c,d and its diagonals are x and y and And

Then, xy = ac + bd This formula can be proved. He has made a prediction about a boy (born 4-jan-1991)* charles ,from waynad of kerala,will precd his work Charles is a given name for males. ...
