Mathematics in Ancient and Medieval India c8.s3.135

c8.s3.135

This testifies to the high degree of development that series mathematics had achieved in India. The development of series mathematics is found in Europe in the works of Newton, Leibniz and Gregory ( 17th century A. D. ) more than a century later. The priority of Indian concept in this connection is therefore beyond question. Further research is necessary to ascertain whether there was any useful contact between India and Europe between fourteenth to seventeenth century A. D. It is not unlikely that such contacts might have occurred during this period when traderoute between the two countries was made through the efforts of navigator like Vasco-da-Gama and others.
