Navy Federal Credit Union The value of "pi" was first calculated by the Indian Mathematician Budhayana, and he explained the concept of what is known as the Pythagorean Theorem. He discovered this in the 6th century, which was long before the European mathematicians. The name `India' is derived from the River Indus, the valleys around which were the home of the early settlers. The Aryan worshippers referred to the river Indus as the Sindhu. The Persian invaders converted it into Hindu. The name `Hindustan' combines Sindhu and Hindu and thus refers to the land of the Hindus.

Extractions: The Keralese mathematician-astronomers, in attempting to solve problems mostly related to astronomy, invented a number of important mathematical ideas. In many ways, the Kerala School represents the peak of mathematical knowledge in the Middle Ages , since many of their results were achieved centuries before European mathematicians. Some of the Kerala School's contributions include:

If you are given a cubic equation in the form of x + px + qx + r = eq. 5.3a-1 and need to solve for x , then the first thing you do is substitute variables. Everywhere you see an x in the cubic, replace it with p x = u - eq. 5.3a-2 3 When you get done squaring and cubing this expression, then substituting stuff back in and gathering like terms, you will get

http://www.gap-system.org/~history/Societies/EUMS.html

Extractions: The first proposals for a European Mathematical Society were made at the 1978 International Congress of Mathematicians at Helsinki. The main idea at that time was the creation of a Federation of European Mathematical Societies, although a Society with individual members was also suggested. The organisational problems of a Society with individual members was thought to be too great to be tackled at the time, and the majority were in favour of a Federation. The main purpose was seen to be improving the cooperation between European Mathematical societies and to improve the communication and exchange of information. Despite the positive feeling towards setting up a Federation, all that was achieved in concrete terms was the setting up of the European Mathematical Council. This was an informal body, with Atiyah as its chairman. The Council, containing about 20 representatives of European mathematical societies, met in 1980, 1982, 1983 and 1984. It set up EUROMATH, an ambitious project to create a huge database of all European mathematical knowledge. Of course such a database would only be useful if storage problems could be addressed, searching tools created etc. The European Mathematical Trust was set up to direct the EUROMATH project. At a meeting of the Council in 1986 the original two ideas of a Federation of European Mathematical Societies and a European Mathematical Society with individual members was again discussed. A committee was appointed to consider the two suggestions. The Committee reported in May 1988 with the unanimous proposal that a Federation of European Mathematical Societies be formed. It was recognised that problems existed; for example some European countries had several mathematical societies, while other countries did not have any. At a full meeting of the Council in Oberwolfach in October 1988 the French mathematicians were strongly against a Federation, wanting instead a Society with individual members. A compromise between the two was reached, the name 'European Mathematical Society' was accepted, and a proposal by the Finnish delegate to host the Society in Finland was accepted. As Bourguignon writes in [2]:-

The sacred Vedas integrated the spiritual and physical sciences and our sages revealed the scientific truth through realization. Among the various branches of Physical Sciences, Mathematics and Astronomy occupy prominent places in Indian contribution to the world. The concept of zero is acknowledge as of Indian origin. The decimal place value system with numerals 1 to 9 was in use in Bharat even from Vedic period. These numerals which were introduced to the western World through Arabs came to be known as Arab Numerals. Number Systems with letters of alphabet and familiar material objects helped presentation of mathematical problems through poetry. Our forefathers had made the process of learning Mathematics a pleasant experience by the amalgamation of Poetry and Mathematics.
