Abstract
In the present study we modify the value of differences between two projections of consecutive arc divisions mentioned in the work of A. A. Krishnaswami Ayyangar entitled “The Mathematics of Aryabhata”. With the help of circumference-diameter ratio of Aryabhata, we will obtain two more corrected values. Also we will obtain the result with modern circumference-diameter ratio. We can find error percentage in three cases 0.14338558 \%, 0.000467054 \% and 0.14291853 \% respectively.
