The Science of the Shulba: A Study in Early Hindu Geometry c3.5

c3.5

It is a pleasure to express indebtedness to my teacher, Professor Ganesh Prasad, for his interest and encouragement for the work. In deference to his wish, I delivered, by special invitation of the authorities, a course of six lectures on the science of the *Sulba*, in the University of Calcutta, during December, 1931. I tender grateful thanks to Mr. Atul Chandra Ghatak, Superintendent, and the staff of the Calcutta University Press for kindly expediting the book through the Press in order to help me to go back to my retirement earlier. Above all, I remember with pleasure the name of my younger brother, Dr. Binode Behari Datta, M.A., Ph.D., for his help and association in every way in this book.
