History of Hindu Mathematics: A Source Book v2.c13.2

v2.c13.2

To gather materials for the book we have examined all the published mathematical treatises of the Hindus as well as most of the important manuscripts available in Indian libraries, a list of the most important of which has already been included in Part I. We have great pleasure in once more expressing our thanks to the authorities of the libraries at Madras, Bangalore, Trivandrum, Tripunithura, Baroda, Jammu, and Benares, and those of the India Office (London) and the Asiatic Society of Bengal for supplying transcripts of manuscripts or sending them to us for consultation. We are indebted also to Dr. R. P. Paranjpye, Vice-Chancellor of the Lucknow University, for help in securing for our use several manuscripts or their transcripts from the State libraries in India and the India Office.
