Mathematics in India has a long and impressive history. Presented in chronological
order, this book discusses mathematical contributions of Pre-Modern Indian Mathematicians
from the Vedic period (800 B.C.) to the 17th Century of the Christian era. These contributions
range across the fields of Algebra, Geometry and Trigonometry. The book presents the
discussions in a chronological order, covering all the contributions of one Pre-Modern
Indian Mathematician to the next. It begins with an overview and summary of previous
work done on this subject before exploring specific contributions in exemplary technical
detail. This book provides a comprehensive examination of pre-Modern Indian mathematical
contributions that will be valuable to mathematicians and mathematical historians.
Contains more than 160 original Sanskrit verses with English translations giving historical
context to the contributions. Presents the various proofs step by step to help readers
understandUses modern, current notations and symbols to develop the calculations and
proofs
