History of Hindu Mathematics: A Source Book v1.c3.6

v1.c3.6

It has been decided to publish the book in three parts. The first part deals with the history of the numeral notation and of arithmetic. The second is devoted to algebra, a science in which the ancient Hindus made remarkable progress. The third part contains the history of geometry, trigonometry, calculus and various other topics such as magic squares, theory of series and permutations and combinations. Each part is complete in itself, so that one interested in any particular branch of mathematics need not consult all of them.
