Computations in Ancient Indian Mathematics
By : V. Ramakalyani
Page No: 103-134
Abstract: Since the early times, methods of computation were developed and perfected in India. The development of the decimal place value system, computations on numbers, fractions and zero, first order indeterminate equations, their applications to astronomy and combinatorics as noticed in early Indian mathematics are discussed briefly in this paper. Attempt is made to show that computer programs can be written for the algorithms given by the ancient Indian mathematicians. Though these works were written several centuries ago they are suitable for application even today. 2010 Mathematics Subject Classification.
