The ancient Indian civilization (particularly during the Vedic I-V
period)made significant contributions to the field of mathematics such as
Sulba Sutra, Decimal system and Zero, Vedic Mathematics. Students
1.
may explore the relation between the modern calculus and the vedic
sutras.

larger Vedic literature. These texts contain some of the earliest known
mathematical concepts and techniques for geometry and algebra. They
include methods for geometric constructions, such as constructing right
angles, squares, rectangles, and circles. The students may explore more
about the sulba sutra.
3. Decimal System and Zero: The concept of zero as a placeholder and as a I-V
numeral was also introduced by Indian mathematicians, Aryabhata (c.
476-550 CE) , and it laid the foundation for modern arithmetic and
algebra. The students may explore more about it and relate it to the
modern algebra.

1 The Indian Vedic contribution to mathematics is profound and has left a I-V
lasting impact on the development of mathematical knowledge worldwide.
These ancient mathematical achievements laid the groundwork for later
advancements in mathematics and played a crucial role in shaping the field
as we know it today with significant contribution to Algebra, Fibonacci
Numbers, and Trigonometry . The students may explore more about it.
2 The famous Fibonacci sequence was known to Indian mathematicians
earlier and it was the 13th-century Italian mathematician Leonardo of Pisa
(Fibonacci) who introduced it to the Western world, which has a numerous
applications in modern world. The students may explore more about it.
3 Indian mathematicians made significant progress in algebra. The concept I
of algebraic notation and solving quadratic equations were developed by
them. The mathematician Brahmagupta (598-668 CE) made important
contributions to algebra and is credited with the solutions of linear and
quadratic equations. The students may explore more about it.
4 Indian mathematicians also made significant contributions to
trigonometry. The earliest known trigonometric works can be traced back
to the ancient texts called Siddhantas, dating to around 400 CE.
Aryabhata, in his work "Aryabhatiya," introduced trigonometric functions
and methods for calculating sine and cosine values. The students may
explore more about it.
