India's mathematicians have made significant contributions over the last
5000 years. From the ever-popular Aryabhata, widely recognized for
revolutionizing the number system and Shakuntala Devi, universally
admired for her fast mental calculations to pioneers forgotten by time,
like Baudhayana, who explained the Pythagoras' theorem nearly 3000 years
ago, the figures included in this book are trailblazers in the world of
mathematics.
Fresh, accessible and inspiring, The Great Indian Mathematicians
celebrates persistent mathematicians throughout Indian history. This
book is an ideal introduction for the next generation of tenacious and
curious maths wizards, and features a goldmine of tips and tricks,
nuggets of surprise and much more!
