Indian Mathematicians are numerous - Pingala, Aryabhata, Bhaskara, Brahmagupta, Katyayana, Mahaveeracarya, Madhava, Sreedharacarya, Bharati Krishna Teerthaji Maharaj and so on. Their contributions to the world of Mathematics are lot many - place value system, importance of 'Zero', etc. Vedas and Mathematics are inseparable. It is an integral part of Vedas, which origin is yet to be clearly specified. Hence the origin of Indian Mathematics also cannot be defined. They used different systems to represent numbers - the major three systems are Katapayadi Sankhya, Bhoota Sankhya and Aryabhateeya Sankhya. These system of numbers were used to represent mathematics through poetic words - dual expertise. It is an ocean. This book tries to bring out a drop from this ocean.

Among those noticed in the present part which has not been subjected to a renewed examination. In this work of revision Professor Aufrecht's Catalogue Catalogorwm has been of great use to me; for, besides facilitating the task of cataloging Sanskrit mss.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: India was a major power during ancient and medieval times. But very little is known about its scientific and technological achievements, and the contributions that were very influentia1 to human civilization. India had the highest standards of living; it introduced math (including the number zero) to the world, along with many other inventions that date back more than 4,000 years. India's many contributions (including brick technology, Ayurvedic medicine, yoga, and the first medical school) were the inspiration for this well-balanced encyclopedia, which seeks to reintroduce classical Indian sciences to scholars and others. This volume offers alphabetically arranged entries, covering agriculture, algebra, arithmetic, astrology, astronomy, calculus, decimal rotation, geography, geometry, mathematics, medicine, military technology, physics, textiles, weights and measures, yoga, zero, and more. They represent the work of scholars from many countries. Additionally, biographies of many well-known ancient Indian scientists are included.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The present Dictionary is designed to meet the long-felt need of the English-knowing reader who is interested in the study of classical as well as modern Sanskrit. It covers a very large field-Epics such as the Ramayana and Mahabharata, Puranas and Upapuranas, Smrti and Niti literature, Darsanas or Systems of Philosophy, such as Nyaya, Vedanta, Mimamsa, Sankhya and Yoga, Grammar, Rhetoric, Poetry in all its branches, Dramatic and Narrative Literature, Mathematics, Medicine, Botany, Astronomy, Music and other technical or scientific branches of learning.

It gives quotations and references to the peculiar and remarkable meanings of words, especially such as occur in books prescribed for study in the Indian and foreign universities. It also renders an explanation of important technical terms occurring in different branches of Sanskrit learning. To add to its usefulness the work includes three appendices. There are in existence no doubt excellent Sanskrit-English dictionaries compiled by eminent scholars like Monier Williams, H.H. Wilson, V. S. Apte and L. R. Vaidya, but their bulkiness and cost prohibit a large number of users from enjoying an advantage so necessary in their study of Sanskrit. There is, therefore, a crying need for one which supplies everything required by an average reader and which is at the same time characterized by brevity and cheapness. The present compilation is intended to serve this purpose. The author in this handy work has kept out Sanskrit words that are less commonly used and has tried to avoid all technicalities as well as words that can easily be seen as simple derivatives of some given words. Thus he has been able to reduce the bulk of the dictionary without compromising its usefulness.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Description: Arthur A. Macdonell's services to the study and research of Sanskrit literature are too well-known to need any introduction and too vast and varied to be covered in one. From writing a Sanskrit Grammar to preparing a Vedic Index, he has indebted the students and scholars of Sanskrit alike, in many ways. Of all his works the most monumental is the writing of a handy of Sanskrit literature, covering for the first time the entire period, from the Vedic to the most recent times of its fertility. These are histories of Sanskrit literature, written both before and after him, but scholars know best that Macdonell's excels them all in depth, in the range of coverage, in precise critical estimation, in clarity of presentation and lucidity of expression.
