Govindasvāmi

Govindasvāmi or Govindasvāmin (c. 800 – c. 860) was an Indian mathematical astronomer most famous for his "Bhasya", a commentary on the "Mahābhāskarīya" of Bhāskara I, written around 830. The commentary contains many examples illustrating the use of a Sanskrit place-value system and the construction of a sine table.
