Who is the father of algorithms?

While first generation data warehouses managed data, the modern data warehouse provides an information service – its massively parallel processing architecture has the compute muscle to run computationally demanding analytic applications. read more

These bring us into a mathematical world of ones and zeros, algebra and algorithms. In our digital age we owe much to Brahmagupta, an Indian mathematician who in the 7 th Century CE wrote a book that formalized rules for treating zero as a number. To signify zero Brahhmagupta applied a dot, called a sunya that denoted emptiness, beneath a number. read more
