The result was established later algebraically on a solid foundation by De Moivre ( 1707-38 ) and Euler ( 1748 ). It is clear from the discussion that the Indian scholar Mādhava ( 1350-1410 ) used and possibly established the series (1), (2) and (3) of course in finite form before Newton, De Moivre and Euler, and laid the foundation of his sine table. - [Previous: c8.s3.64](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.science.bag-1979.c8.s3.64) - [Next: c8.s3.66](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.science.bag-1979.c8.s3.66) - [Up: c8.s3](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.science.bag-1979.c8.s3) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.science.bag-1979.c8.s3.65](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.science.bag-1979.c8.s3.65) · Pramāṇa
