GENIUS OF INDIAN MATHEMATICAL BRAINS
GENIUS OF INDIAN MATHEMATICAL BRAINS Mathematical knowledge that exists today is a gift from ancient India. Believe it or not, it is true. One of the Twentieth century’s greatest brains, Albert Einstein had said about India’s contribution in the following words, “We owe a lot to the Indian’s, who taught us how to count through decimal system, without which no worthwhile scientific discovery could have been made”. Decimal system: Nine numbers and a zero can be combined to form infinite mathematical expressions and measurements. This knowledge is said to be the unique contribution of ancient Indian genius to world’s progress. During Vedic times, this decimal system was very much in vogue in India. Yujur Vedha Samhita 17th chapter, 2nd mantra describes the numerical values in a sequence like Eka, dasa, sata, sahasra, ayuta, laksha, niyuta, koti, arbud, vrinda, kharav, nikharav, Shankla, Padma, saagar, antya, Madhya, parardha etc. Parardha’s value is equal to 10 power 12 A Buddistic text c
