Indian Mathematics
Indian Mathematics refers to the mathematical developments that occurred in the Indian subcontinent from ancient times through the medieval period. Notable contributions include the concept of zero, the decimal system, and advancements in algebra and geometry. Mathematicians like Aryabhata and Brahmagupta made significant strides in these areas, influencing both local and global mathematical practices.
The Sulbasutras, ancient texts, provided rules for constructing altars and included geometric principles. Indian mathematicians also excelled in astronomy, using mathematics to calculate planetary positions. Their work laid the foundation for future developments in mathematics and science worldwide.
