He is credited for finding how long it took the earth to spin on its axis, the length of the year and coming up with the heliocentric model and much more.
He was the one to calculate the value of Pi, observed solar and lunar eclipses, calculated the summation of series of squares and cubes, determined the area of a triangle, defined cosine, versine and inverse sine.
