Sridhara
8th century Indian mathematician
Śrīdhara or Śrīdharācārya (8th–9th century) was an Indian mathematician believed to come either from the Bengal region or from South India.[1] Very little is known about his life beyond the content of his two extant treatises about arithmetic, Pāṭī-gaṇita and Tri-śatikā. 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 Tri-śatikā, and overlapping material is found in the work of Mahāvīra (9th century), from which historians estimate Śrīdhara to have lived in the 8th or 9th century.[2]
