Mathematics in Ancient and Medieval India c2.3

c2.3

I take this opportunity to express my gratitude to Prof. P. Ray for his varied help and constant inspiration in the study of history of mathematics. My grateful thanks are due to Prof. J. N. Mukherjee, Sri S. N. Sen, Prof. M. C. Chaki without whose encouragement, I would not venture to complete this work. I am also grateful to Prof. and Mrs. J. L. Bhaduri for their kind interest in the work. Thanks are also due to the National Library (Calcutta), Central Library of the Calcutta University, and specially to the employees of the Asiatic Society for giving me spontaneous help and ungrudging cooperation in using their library for my work. To conclude, I also like to place on record that the printing of the work was started in 1971 by C. S. S. but was stopped for the last several years until it was taken up by one of its partners, Chaukhambha Orientalia. However, the new concern has taken enough care to get it out in quickest possible time. My thanks are also due to them.
