He studied at the University of Nalanda. It appears that he was the kulapati (head) of the University at Nālandā in Magadha.
Âryabhatta (476–550 AD) is the first in the line of great mathematician-astronomers from the classical age of Indian mathematics and Indian astronomy. Āryabhaṭa wrote at least two books: the Āryabhaṭīya and the Āryabhaṭa-siddhānta, of which the latter is known only through references in other works.
Āryabhaṭīya dealt with many topics like astronomy, spherical trigonometry, arithmetic, algebra and plane trigonometry. Aryabhatta's contribution in mathematics is unparalleled. He suggested formula to calculate the areas of a triangle and a circle, which were correct.
He invented zero as well as discovered many things in math and space. He also made model of the solar system where the sun was the center.
