Numbers in very early societies were typically represented by groups of lines, though later different numbers came to be assigned specific numeral names and symbols (as in India) or were designated by alphabetic letters (such as in Rome). Although today, we take our decimal system for granted, not all ancient civilizations based their numbers on a ten-base system. In ancient Babylon, a sexagesimal (base 60) system was in use. The Decimal System in Harappa In India a decimal system was already in place during the Harappan period, as indicated by an analysis of Harappan weights and measures. Weights corresponding to ratios of 0.05, 0.1, 0.2, 0.5, 1, 2, 5, 10, 20, 50, 100, 200, and 500 have been identified, as have scales with decimal divisions. A particularly notable characteristic of Harappan weights and measures is their remarkable accuracy. A bronze rod marked in units of 0.367 inches points to the degree of precision demanded in those times. Such scales were particularly important in ensuring proper implementation of town planning rules that required roads of fixed widths to run at right angles to each other, for drains to be constructed of precise measurements, and for homes to be constructed according to specified guidelines. The existence of a gradated system of accurately marked weights points to the development of trade and commerce in Harappan society.

Mathematics formed an important part of the Vedas - the original Hindu scriptures - associated with ritual activities and the study of 'ganit' or mathematics was given special importance in the Vedic period. Mathematics in Early Hindu Texts Arithmetic operations including squares, cubes and roots are mentioned in the 'Narad Vishnu Purana' attributed to Ved Vyas (c 1000 BC), and the 1000 BC Vedic text 'Vedang Jyotish' says: "Just as the feathers of a peacock and the jewel-stone of a snake are placed at the highest point of the body, so is the position of mathematics the highest amongst all branches of the Vedas and the Shastras." Seminal Figures in Mathematics Hindu mathematicians, from Vedic times to the modern age have been in the forefront of making seminal contributions in the field mathematics.

skip to main skip to sidebar Home Entrance Exams ... CBSE Books Famous Indian Mathematicians Biography Join Us Orkut Facebook Twitter Yahoo Group ... SMS Alerts T he most fundamental contribution of ancient India in mathematics is the invention of decimal system of enumeration, including the invention of zero. The decimal system uses nine digits (1 to 9) and the symbol zero (for nothing) to denote all natural numbers by assigning a place value to the digits. The Arabs carried this system to Africa and Europe. The Vedas and Valmiki Ramayana used this system, though the exact dates of these works are not known. MohanjoDaro and Harappa excavations (which may be around 3000 B.C. old) also give specimens of writing in India. Aryans came 1000 years later, around 2000 B.C. Being very religious people, they were deeply interested in planetary positions to calculate auspicious times, and they developed astronomy and mathematics towards this end. They identified various nakshatras (constellations) and named the months after them. They could count up to 10 , while the Greeks could count up to 10 and Romans up to 10 . Values of irrational numbers such as and were also known to them to a high degree of approximation. Pythagoras Theorem can be also traced to the Aryan's

Indian Mathematicians (Go back) Do you know about the ingenuity of Indian Mathematicians? Did you know that Indian Astronomy and Vedic Mathematics are the front runners of modern mathematics? The valued invention of zero is the praise worthy contribution of Indian Mathematicians to The admirable contributions of Indian Mathematicians include the concept of zero and the arithmetical notations of the place value. The historical evidences of the praise worthy contributions of the Indian Mathematicians extend from Indus valley civilizations to Vedic periods to modern 21st century. The contributions of the Mathematicians in India were in arithmetic, number theory, the decimal number system, negative numbers and algebra. Apart from these, significant contributions were made in trigonometric series expansions and the early computations of astronomical values. The Indian Mathematical concepts were passed on to Middle East, China and Europe. In the fifteenth century AD, the mathematicians from Kerala School of Mathematics had carried out many praise worthy studies in trigonometry. Scholars like Bhaskara, Brahmagupta and Aryabhata are a few Indian Mathematicians who contributed significantly during 400 AD to 1200 AD. Aryabhatta was the first person who said that the Earth is spherical and it revolves around the Sun. Brahmagupta gave the methods of multiplication. Also he gave formula for calculating the area of a cyclic quadrilateral. Bhaskara has written many documents on permutation, surds and combinations. He had said that any number divided by zero results in infinity. Varahamihira (505-587) researched and documented Pancha Siddhanta, which described the Five Astronomical Canons. He had tabled the sine and cosine values up to four decimal places and independently derived the relations connecting sine and cosine.

He was born in the town Devlali, Maharashtra. Having never received any formal postgraduate training, for his entire career (1930-1962) he was a schoolteacher in the small town of Devlali in Maharashtra, India. Yet he became well known in recreational mathematics circles, and has a number, a constant, and a magic square named after him. Kaprekar received his secondary school education in Thana and studied at Fergusson College in Pune. He attended the University of Bombay, receiving his bachelor"s degree in 1929. He published extensively, writing about such topics as recurring decimals, magic squares, and integers with special properties. Working largely alone, Kaprekar discovered a number of results that have opened up important avenues of research in number theory. In addition to the Kaprekar constant and the Kaprekar number which were named after him, he also discovered the Self number or Devlali number, and also the important series called the Harshad number. He also constructed certain types of magic squares related to the Copernicus magic square. Kaprekar"s famous works are below: Kaprekar constant The Kaprekar constant, named after him, is a fascinating general property of all number bases and may demonstrate some important but unknown theorem in number theory.The Kaprekar constant, or 6174 (1949). He showed that 6174 is reached in the limit as one repeatedly subtracts the highest and lowest numbers that can be constructed from four digits (not all the same). This series converges to 6174 in fewer than seven iterations.

The MacTutor biography on a reputed UK mathematician website has this to say about India's ancient mathematician Panini who was one among many brilliant minds that lived 2500 yrs ago: "Panini should be thought of as the forerunner of the modern formal language theory used to specify computer languages. The Backus Normal Form was discovered independently by John Backus in 1959, but Panini's notation is equivalent in its power to that of Backus and has many similar properties. It is remarkable to think that concepts which are fundamental to today's theoretical computer science should have their origin with an Indian genius around 2500 years ago." http://www-history.mcs.st-and.ac.uk/~history/Biographies/Panini.html

Ancient Chinese emperor had seafood on menu You are here: Home International Indian mathematicians concerned about few takers for subject Hyderabad, Aug 23 (PTI): Mathematicians in India fear a 'crisis' looms over the future of mathematics in the country with the younger generation of students turning away to other disciplines rather than pure mathematical studies. "The number of takers for the subject in the country has over the past few decades reduced and this is leading to some kind of a crisis. This may affect the future of mathematical activity in the country," eminent mathematician from the Tata Institute of Fundamental Research Prof M S Raghunathan observed. Many Indian mathematicians attending the ongoing nine-day International Congress of Mathematicians too have echoed similar concerns on the issue. The increasing number of students preferring disciplines like engineering, information technology and management is leaving little number of wards for mathematical research, particularly in basic maths, they said. It is a matter of concern that the number of bright students getting admitted to higher studies in mathematics is gradually coming down in India. Actually, in the past two-three decades the inflow of talented students opting for pure math studies has reduced and this is leading to some kind of crisis, Raghunathan said.

skip to main skip to sidebar The land of mathematics Saturday, December 15, 2007 Jyesthadeva Jyesthadeva (1500-1575) lived on the southwest coast of India in the district of Kerala. He belonged to the Kerala school of mathematics built on the work of Madhava, Nilakantha Somayaji, Paramesvara and others. Jyesthadeva wrote a famous text Yuktibhasa which he wrote in Malayalam, the regional language of Kerala. The work contains proofs of the theorems and gives derivations of the rules it contains. It is one of the main astronomical and mathematical texts produced by the Kerala school. The work was based mainly on the Tantrasamgraha of Nilakantha. The Yuktibhasa is a major treatise, half on astronomy and half on mathematics, written in 1501. The Yuktibhasa is very important in terms of the mathematics Jyesthadeva presents. In particular he presents results discovered by Madhava and the treatise is an important source of the remarkable mathematical theorems which Madhava discovered. Written in about 1550, Jyesthadeva's commentary contained proofs of the earlier results by Madhava and Nilakantha which these earlier authors did not give. Yuktibhasa describing Madhava's series, but remember that even this passage by Jyesthadeva was written more than 100 years before James Gregory rediscovered this series expansion. Other mathematical results presented by Jyesthadeva include topics studied by earlier Indian mathematicians such as integer solutions of systems of first degree equation solved by the kuttaka method, and rules of finding the sines and the cosines of the sum and difference of two angles.
