Synopsis The core of Aryabhata, Brahamgupta, Bhaskara II by : Sunny Kumar

When Aryabhata writes 'Aryabhatiya' in 499 CE, it was the golden period of the Indian culture in every aspect of human activity, such as Economy, Science, Philosophy, Art, and standard of living. After this work, Aryabhata got the attention of his fallows & peers. And then he passes away when he teaching at Nalanda University (Patliputra/Patna). After his death various mathematicians along with his disciples write commentaries on his writings, to continue his legacy. There are more than 15 commentaries till the 1800s and many after that. And there are mathematicians like Varahmihira, Bhaskara I, Brahmagupta, and Bhaskara II, who continue his method of doing mathematics and astronomy. So, if there are various commentaries there, then what is the purpose of this manuscript. To answer this, I would like to put the attention to the point, that thou Aryabhatiya contains highly applicable and advanced mathematics. But it also contains a verity of advanced principal on astronomy and that is the case with its commentaries by learned mathematicians, which divert us to the subject (mathematics) to another subject (astronomy). So, there is a need for a manuscript, that can give a glance of mathematics. So this manuscript is presented to fulfill the requirement. And this manuscript connects the work of Aryabhata to Brahmagupta and Bhaskara II, and highlight the development of the concept of zero to the origin of infinity. It is the main attraction of this work. The manuscript is prepared by selecting the verses from Aryabhatiya (33 verses), BrahmaSphuthaSiddanta (7 verses) by Brahmagupta, and SiddhantaSiromani (3 verses) by Bhaskara II. The author pays his gratitude to previous work done by writers such as 'K.S. Shukla' for "Aryabhatiya of Aryabhata", 'W.E Clark' for "The Aryabhatiya of Aryabhata", ' Pt. Sudhakara Dvivedin' for "BrahmaSphutaSiddhanta", 'H.T. Colebrooke' for "Algebra of Brahmagupta & Bhaskara II" and 'Dr. V. B Panickar' for "Bhaskaracharya's Bijganitam". These are the main source of this manuscript along with others ( as given in the bibliography section). While I began this work, I find that there are two controversial verses in Aryabhataiya from Ganitam (mathematics) section, i.e., verse no.- 6 &7. I face difficulty and not satisfied with the translation by the previous commentators, who declare them mathematically wrong, by ignoring the last verse of Aryabhatiya (The curse of Aryabhata). And I did not dare to go against the warning of Aryabhata and put forward my translation to them. And this work connects these Gurus to modern mathematicians such as B. Riemann & G. Cantor in the last chapter. This is the main attraction of this work. I hope 'Readers' will find themself connected to that.

Synopsis The Mathematics of India by : P. P. Divakaran

This book identifies three of the exceptionally fruitful periods of the millennia-long history of the mathematical tradition of India: the very beginning of that tradition in the construction of the now-universal system of decimal numeration and of a framework for planar geometry; a classical period inaugurated by Aryabhata’s invention of trigonometry and his enunciation of the principles of discrete calculus as applied to trigonometric functions; and a final phase that produced, in the work of Madhava, a rigorous infinitesimal calculus of such functions. The main highlight of this book is a detailed examination of these critical phases and their interconnectedness, primarily in mathematical terms but also in relation to their intellectual, cultural and historical contexts. Recent decades have seen a renewal of interest in this history, as manifested in the publication of an increasing number of critical editions and translations of texts, as well as in an informed analytic interpretation of their content by the scholarly community. The result has been the emergence of a more accurate and balanced view of the subject, and the book has attempted to take an account of these nascent insights. As part of an endeavour to promote the new awareness, a special attention has been given to the presentation of proofs of all significant propositions in modern terminology and notation, either directly transcribed from the original texts or by collecting together material from several texts.

Synopsis Līlāvatī of Bhāskarācārya by : Bhāskarācārya

In 1150 AD, Bhaskaracarya (b. 1114 AD), renowned mathematician and astronomer of Vedic tradition composed Lilavati as the first part of his larger work called Siddhanta Siromani, a comprehensive exposition of arithmetic, algebra, geometry, mensuration, number theory and related topics. Lilavati has been used as a standard textbook for about 800 years. This lucid, scholarly and literary presentation has been translated into several languages of the world. Bhaskaracarya himself never gave any derivations of his formulae. N.H. Phadke (1902-1973) worked hard to construct proofs of several mathematical methods and formulae given in original Lilavati. The present work is an enlargement of his Marathi work and attempts a thorough mathematical explanation of definitions, formulae, short cuts and methodology as intended by Bhaskara. Stitches are followed by literal translations so that the reader can enjoy and appreciate the beauty of accurate and musical presentation in Lilavati. The book is useful to school going children, sophomores, teachers, scholars, historians and those working for cause of mathematics.

Synopsis Expounding the Mathematical Seed. Vol. 1: The Translation by : Agathe Keller

In the 5th century, the Indian mathematician Aryabhata wrote a small but famous work on astronomy in 118 verses called the Aryabhatiya. Its second chapter gives a summary of Hindu mathematics up to that point, and 200 years later, the Indian astronomer Bhaskara glossed that chapter. This volume is a literal English translation of Bhaskara’s commentary complete with an introduction.

Synopsis The History of Mathematical Proof in Ancient Traditions by : Karine Chemla

This radical, profoundly scholarly book explores the purposes and nature of proof in a range of historical settings. It overturns the view that the first mathematical proofs were in Greek geometry and rested on the logical insights of Aristotle by showing how much of that view is an artefact of nineteenth-century historical scholarship. It documents the existence of proofs in ancient mathematical writings about numbers and shows that practitioners of mathematics in Mesopotamian, Chinese and Indian cultures knew how to prove the correctness of algorithms, which are much more prominent outside the limited range of surviving classical Greek texts that historians have taken as the paradigm of ancient mathematics. It opens the way to providing the first comprehensive, textually based history of proof.
