About this title

Synopsis

Casting aside the usual Eurocentric theories about the origins of mathematics, the authors investigate Vedic texts which originated in ancient India. Aryabhatta, Sulvastrus, and Bhaskaracharya are among the Sanskrit-speaking theoreticians, whose astronomical works contributed to the ancient body of mathematics, preceding the Greeks. This book deals with some of the chronological difficulties in tracing the history of mathematics, as well as the reasons for the decay in the ancient Vedic civilization.

About the Author

V. Lakshmikantham is Head of the Department of Mathematical Sciences at the Florida Institute of Technology. S. Leela is a Professor in the Department of Mathematics at SUNY in Geneseo, New York.
