Mathematics in India has a long and impressive history. Presented in chronological order, this book discusses mathematical contributions of Pre-Modern Indian Mathematicians from the Vedic period (800 B.C.) to the 17th Century of the Christian era. These contributions range across the fields of Algebra, Geometry and Trigonometry. The book presents the discussions in a chronological order, covering all the contributions of one Pre-Modern Indian Mathematician to the next. It begins with an overview and summary of previous work done on this subject before exploring specific contributions in exemplary technical detail. This book provides a comprehensive examination of pre-Modern Indian mathematical contributions that will be valuable to mathematicians and mathematical historians. Contains more than 160 original Sanskrit verses with English translations giving historical context to the contributions Presents the various proofs step by step to help readers understand Uses modern, current notations and symbols to develop the calculations and proofs
"The Great Mathematicians of Bharat" emerges as a seminal work, aligning perfectly with the vision of the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020, which emphasizes the integration and appreciation of Indian Knowledge Systems (IKS) in contemporary education. This book meticulously documents the rich legacy of India's mathematical geniuses, serving as a crucial resource in rekindling interest and respect for Bharat's profound mathematical traditions. It underscores the symbiotic relationship between cultural ethos and scientific inquiry, highlighting how Indian mathematicians not only contributed to the field of mathematics but also how their work was deeply interwoven with Hindu spiritual and cultural practices. By chronicling the journey from ancient sages to modern masters, the book provides a comprehensive view of the evolution of mathematical thought in Bharat, thus fulfilling NEP 2020's objective of integrating indigenous knowledge with modern academic frameworks. In doing so, it not only educates but also inspires, setting a precedent for future academic endeavours to explore and celebrate India's rich intellectual heritage.

What would Newton see if he looked out his bedroom window? This book describes the world around the important mathematicians of the past, and explores the complex interaction between mathematics, mathematicians, and society. It takes the reader on a grand tour of history from the ancient Egyptians to the twentieth century to show how mathematicians and mathematics were affected by the outside world, and at the same time how the outside world was affected by mathematics and mathematicians. Part biography, part mathematics, and part history, this book provides the interested layperson the background to understand mathematics and the history of mathematics, and is suitable for supplemental reading in any history of mathematics course.
Lagna Varahi written by the famous astrologer cum astronomer Varahamihira of 6th century AD along with translation and commentary by Veneet Kumar & Sreenadh OG. Lagna Varahi : A4 size. 80 pages. eBook price : Rs.100/- ($2). Paperback: Rs.200/- ($4). eBook copy available worldwide, Paperback edition only within India. The book contain a detailed discussion on various subjects such as house-planet results to be told for male as well as female horoscope, rare combinations not found anywhere else, and few unique observations on prasna. This text is in many ways special. Some of them are - * It is like brief formula book for the astrologer; brewing the results into small slokas. For example the results for all planets in lagna is told in a single sloka. Same with other houses too. * It contains several unique combinations which are not found anywhere else. Every rare combination told in the book is demonstrating as working using a real life example chart, for which the very same result happened. * Numerous quotes form this text is already popular among practicing astrologers (due to their effectiveness and accuracy) even though many of them may not be knowing that those slokas are originally from Lagna Varahi. Lagna Varahi is an excellent handbook for any practicing astrologer. This book helps the astrologers to memorize less number of slokas but then too predict effectively.
