..an approximation for ?, which is surprisingly accurate. The value given is: = 3.1416. With little doubt this is the most accurate approximation that had been given up to this point in the history of mathematics. Aryabhata found it from the circle with circumference 62832 and diameter 20000. Critics have tried to suggest that this approximation is of Greek origin. However with confidence it can be argued that the Greeks only used ? = 10 and ? = 22/7 and that no other values can be found in Greek texts." (Indian Mathematics, 2009) There is stated by Selin (2001) in the work entitled: "Mathematics Across Cultures: The History of Non-Western Mathematics" to be "...no evidence of the method for extracting cube roots having been known earlier than Aryabhata I." (Selin, 2001)

Conclusion

Aryabhata made great contributions to mathematics and algebra and his greatest contribution to Algebra was that of his approximation...

...

Aryabhata spent a great deal of time in examining previous mathematic and algebra study and filled in many knowledge gaps in these areas of study.

Mainstreaming Contribution of the Media in the Disintegration of the Hispanic Community Hispanic identity is a spectrum. There are numerous cultures and ethnicities that compose the Latin American identity. Representations of Latinos and Hispanics on American television are limited and reflect cultural bias. There are rarely depictions of successful Hispanic business owners or as government agents/employees. Only in the past few decades has attention be formally paid to the quality and quantity

Margin and Breakeven Analysis In order to address each separate concept and the practical situation in each case, we need to have clear definitions on the contribution margin and the breakeven analysis. In this sense, we may define the contribution margin as a "concept calculated as total revenue from a product or service less the total variable cost" It is one of the most important tools used in the case of

Mathematics in Digital Photography The advances in both digital photography and computing have allowed more detailed and complex images to be shown on more realistic media than was ever previously possible. Through the use of more specialized equipment and digital imaging techniques the resulting photos of even the most novice user today can rival those of professionals from years before. This level of photographic precision could never have been achieved were

if, as Halmos suggests, math is a creative art then math must also be the handmaid of science. Describing mathematics as a creative art helps students of math better understand the true roles of the mathematician. Numbers, while in many ways central to the art of math, do not comprise the whole lexicon of mathology. Mathematics does stem from "sheer pure intellectual curiosity," enabling students to perceive the world through
