Mathematics A History of the Kerala School of Hindu Astronomy (in Perspective) c9.s6 - **Language:** English ### 12. Mathematics ### [c9.s6.1](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.science.sarma-1972.c9.s6.1) The \*Līlāvatī\* of Bhāskara II, with more than a dozen Kerala commentaries, has remained, as indicated earlier, the most popular textbook on general mathematics. Among indigenous works, some of the astronomical treatises like \*Yuktibhāṣā, Bhadradīpa\* etc. deal with general mathematics in some of their sections. An interesting summary of the general mathematical processes is contained in an anonymous work entitled \*Ekaviṃśatipraśnakrama\*. Other works solely devoted to the treatment of mathematics are \*Kaṇakkatikāram\*, with commentary, two works having the same title \*Kaṇakkusāram\*, one in prose and the other in verse, both with commentaries, \*Kaṇakkunūl, Kaṇakkucodyam\* and \*Kaṇakkuśāstram\*, all anonymous. ## Linked texts (3) - [Līlāvaī](https://indike.org/pramana/in.lit.kavya.prakrit.lilavai) — Kouhala, Māhārāṣṭrī Prakrit - [Kaṇakkuśāstram](https://indike.org/pramana/in.astro.kerala.bhasha.kanakkusastram) — Kṛṣṇadāsa 1756, Malayalam - [Kaṇakkusāram](https://indike.org/pramana/in.astro.kerala.bhasha.kanakkusaram) — Nīlakaṇṭha Dīkṣita, Malayalam --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.science.sarma-1972.c9.s6](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.science.sarma-1972.c9.s6) · Pramāṇa
