Parameshvaraとは 意味・読み方・使い方

Vatasseri Paramesvara Nambudiri (Malayalam: വടശ്ശേരി പരമേശ്വരന്‍) (ca.1380–1460) was a major Indian mathematician and astronomer of the Kerala school of astronomy and mathematics founded by Madhava of Sangamagrama. He was also an astrologer. Paramesvara was a proponent of observational astronomy in medieval India and he himself had made a series of eclipse observations to verify the accuracy of the computational methods then in use. Based on his eclipse observations, Paramesvara proposed several corrections to the astronomical parameters which had been in use since the times of Aryabhata. The computational scheme based on the revised set of parameters has come to be known as the Drgganita system. Paramesvara was also a prolific writer on matters relating to astronomy. At least 25 manuscripts have been identified as being authored by Paramesvara.
