Kamalakara (1616-1700), an Indian astronomer and mathematician, came from a family of astronomers. His father was Nrsimha who was born in 1586. Two of Kamalakara's three brothers were also astronomer and mathematicians: Divakara, who was the eldest of the brothers born in 1606, and Ranganatha who was younger.
He wrote the Siddhanta-tattva-viveka.
