The translation during the (c. 820 CE), was particularly influential.
Some of his results are cited by and in the 10th century stated that Aryabhata's followers believed that the Earth rotated on its axis.His definitions of ( ), cosine ( ), versine ( ),and inverse sine ( otkram jya) influenced the birth of. He was also the first to specify sine and (1 − cos x) tables, in 3.75° intervals from 0° to 90°, to an accuracy of 4 decimal places.In fact, modern names 'sine' and 'cosine' are mistranscriptions of the words jya and kojya as introduced by Aryabhata. As mentioned, they were translated as jiba and kojiba in Arabic and then misunderstood by while translating an Arabic geometry text to.

He assumed that jiba was the Arabic word jaib, which means 'fold in a garment', L. 1150).Aryabhata's astronomical calculation methods were also very influential.Along with the trigonometric tables, they came to be widely used in the Islamic world and used to compute many astronomical tables. In particular, the astronomical tables in the work of the scientist (11th century) were translated into Latin as the (12th century) and remained the most accurate used in Europe for centuries.Calendric calculations devised by Aryabhata and his followers have been in continuous use in India for the practical purposes of fixing the (the ). In the Islamic world, they formed the basis of the introduced in 1073 CE by a group of astronomers including, versions of which (modified in 1925) are the national calendars in use in and today. The dates of the Jalali calendar are based on actual solar transit, as in Aryabhata and earlier calendars. This type of calendar requires an ephemeris for calculating dates.
Although dates were difficult to compute, seasonal errors were less in the Jalali calendar than in the.(AKU), Patna has been established by Government of Bihar for the development and management of educational infrastructure related to technical, medical, management and allied professional education in his honour.
