This book presents contributions of mathematicians covering topics
from ancient India, placing them in the broader context of the
history of mathematics. Although the translations of some Sanskrit
mathematical texts are available in the literature, Indian
contributions are rarely presented in major Western historical
works. Yet some of the well-known and universally-accepted
discoveries from India, including the concept of zero and the
decimal representation of numbers, have made lasting contributions
to the foundation of modern mathematics. Through a systematic
approach, this book examines these ancient mathematical ideas that
were spread throughout India, China, the Islamic world, and Western
Europe.
