Recent decades have seen a renewal of interest in this history, as manifested in the publication of an increasing number of critical editions and translations of texts, as well as in an informed analytic interpretation of their content by the scholarly community. The result has been the emergence of a more accurate and balanced view of the subject, and the book has attempted to take an account of these nascent insights. As part of an endeavour to promote the new awareness, a special attention has been given to the presentation of proofs of all significant propositions in modern terminology and notation, either directly transcribed from the original texts or by collecting together material from several texts.

P.P. DIVAKARAN retired as professor from the Tata Institute of Fundamental Research, Mumbai in 1996. Subsequently, he has spent time at several institutions as adjunct or visiting professor. The present book grew out of research done at the Inter-University Centre for Astronomy and Astrophysics, Pune, as the holder of a Senior Award of the Homi Bhabha Fellowships Council.
Highlights the exceptionally fruitful periods of the millennia-long history of the mathematical tradition of India
Discusses about the period of the construction of the now-universal system of decimal numeration and of a framework for planar geometry
Reviews about about the classical period inaugurated by Aryabhata's invention of trigonometry and the principles of discrete calculus
Talks about the phase of Madhava, which produced a rigorous infinitesimal calculus of such functions
