Śrīdhara,[1] also known as Sridhar Acharya, or Śrīdharācāryya (c. 870 CE –c. 930 CE) was a mathematician, Sanskrit pandit and philosopher from the Bengal region of ancient India. He was born in a village called Bhuriśreṣṭi (Bhurisriṣṭi or Bhurśuṭ), which is now part of Hugli in West Bengal, then undivided Bengal with its capital at Gaur. His father, Baladeva Acharya or Baladevācārya, was a Sanskrit pandit, and his mother's name was Acchoka Devi.

Notable work

He is known for two main treatises: Pāṭīgaṇitasāra (also called Triśatika (300) because it was written in three hundred ślokas) and Pāṭīgaṇita (Bengali: পাটীগণিত). Triśatika discusses counting of numbers, natural number, zero, measures, multiplication, fraction, division, squares, cubes, rule of three, interest-calculation, joint business or partnership, and mensuration (the main part of geometry concerned with ascertaining sizes, lengths, areas, and volumes).

Three other works have been attributed to him, namely the Bījagan

Sridhara

8th century Indian mathematician

This article is about the mathematician. For the Saka ruler, see Sridharavarman.

Śrīdhara or Śrīdharācārya (8th–9th century) was an Indian mathematician, known for two extant treatises about arithmetic and practical mathematics, Pāṭīgaṇita and Pāṭīgaṇita-sāra, and a now-lost treatise about algebra, Bījagaṇita.

Life

Very little is known about Śrīdhara's life beyond mentions of his mathematical work by later mathematicians and the content of his extant treatises, which do not contain biographical details such as his parents, teachers, or birthplace. Various scholars have suggested he came from the Bengal region or from South India.[2] Based on example problems in his works mentioning Shiva, and a dedication in Pāṭīgaṇita-sāra, he was probably a Shaivite Hindu.

He was mentioned by Bhāskara II (12th century), and made apparent reference to Brahmagupta (7th century). Govindasvāmin (9th century) quoted a passage also found in Pāṭīgaṇita-sāra, and overlapping material is found in the work of Mahāvīra (9th

Sri Dharacharya was an Indian Mathematician who was born in 870 CE and died in c. 930 CE. Apart from being a Mathematician, he was also a Philosopher and Sanskrit pandit.

He was born in Bhuriśreṣṭi which is currently known as Hugli. He was born to Baladevācārya and Acchoka Bai who were Sanskrit pandit and philosopher too.

Sri Dharacharya Books

Sri Dharacharya has written more than 5 treatises: 

  1. Trisatika (300) 
  2. Pāṭīgaṇita
  3. Bījaganita
  4. Navasatī
  5. Bṛhatpati

He has written more than three hundred ślokas in one of his books and so that book is famously known as Triśatika.

In his books, he discusses the counting of numbers, fraction, joint business or partnership, division, squares, cubes, natural number, zero, interest-calculation, rule of three, measures, multiplication, and mensuration (the main part of geometry which deals with sizes, lengths, areas, and volumes).

Just like the other Ancient Indian Mathematicians like Aryabhatta, Baudhayana, Varahamihira, he too has contributed in mathematics which is mentioned below.
