The decimal number system, concept of zero as number and negative numbers were its gifts in addition to its inputs into the fields of arithmetic, algebra and trigonometry. Its classical as well as golden period ranged from fourth to sixteenth century, having contributions come from great scholars like Aryabhata, Varahamihira, Brahmagupta and Bhaskara II.
