 INTRODUCTION

 Indian scientists and mathematicians were

leaders , especially in mathematics and
engineering.
 Needs of everyday life (such as trade, civil
engineering, etc.) in India incite on
development of mathematic.
 Old Indian mathematic was mostly arithmetic
oriented
 BEGINNINGS
 The introduction of special characters for the
numbers from zero to nine, brings progress in
ancient indian mathematics.
 These signs of the numbers are very similar to
our .
 Old Indian used positional system only for
writing numbers, but not for fractional.
 Indian discovery of zero is newer than the
date of Babylon
 Ashoka’s
pillar

 The oldest records that are preserved, and

include early forms of Indian numerals
are on the stone pillars that were in every
significant city. Monarch of Maury
empire gave build those stone pillars.

 Indian discovery of zero was closely

connected with the Indian philosophy
and religion.
 HOW THEY WERE CALCULATING?
 Old Indian were calculating on their
blackboards.

1 3 0
5 7 5
 They were putting mathematical tasks in poetic
attire.
 The method of solving problems was inversion.
Oh beautiful maiden with beaming
eyes, tell me, since you
understand the method of
inversion, what number multiplied
by 3, then increased by three-
quarters of the product, then
divided by 7, then diminished by
one-third of the result, then
multiplied by itself, then
diminished by 52, whose square
root is then extracted before 8 is
added and then divided by 10,
gives the final result of 2?
 THE BIGGEST ACCOMPLISHMENTS
 The old Indians have also had very good
approximations of number.
 They had a good approximation for number
accurate on five decimal places
 In the 6th century B.C. they have known about
Pythagora’s triples and proof of Pythagora’s
theorem.
THE OLD INDIAN MATHEMATICIANS

 The most important Old Indian

mathematicians were:
- Aryabhatta (V century)
- Brahmagupta (VI century)
- Mahavira (IX century)
- Bhaskara (XII century)
 ARYABHATA
 the father of the Decimal
number system which has
become universal today .
 he used letters of the
alphabet to denote numbers
 worked on the
approximation for Pi and may
have realized that Pi is
irrational
 Today his algorithm, is the
standard method for solving
first order Diophantine
equations, and it is often
BRAHMAGUPTA
 made use of an important
concept in mathematics, the
number zero
 solved many different types of
equations using general
methods
 developed rules for four
fundamental operations using
Indian numerals
 MAHAVIRA

 asserted that the

square root of a
negative number did not
exist
 is highly respected No
among Indian image……
Mathematicians, because
of his establishment of
terminology for
concepts such as
 BHASKARA
 His book on arithmetic
is the source of
interesting legends that
assert that it was written
for his daughter, Lilavati
 A proof of the
Pythagorean theorem by
calculating the same area
in two different ways and
then canceling out terms
to get a² + b² = c².
 INTRODUCTION

 Contribution of Arabic in
mathematic is much higher then
just translating informations.
 Many ideas which are credited
to Europeans in the late middle
ages and a renaissance was
Arabic.
 The first person who
encouraged the translation of
Greek texts (for example Euclid’s
elements) to Arabic language
 ARABIC NUMBERS

3 different types of number system:

 calculating with the fingers
 sexsagesimal (base-60 number) system
 Indian decimal system
 ARABIC MATHEMATICIANS

AL-KHWARIZMI
 full name: Abu' Abdallah Muhammad
ibn Musa al-Magusi al-Khwarizmi al-
Choresmi
 wrote about algebra, geometry and
astronomy.
 used zero in positional base notation
 in his main work Hisab al-jabr w'al-
muqabala has given us the word algebra
 OMAR KHAYYAM
 He was a poet and a
mathematician.
 He discovered a
geometrical method of
solving cubic equations
by intersecting a
parabola with a circle
 He is thought to have
been born into a family
of tent makers (literally,
al-khayyami means
"tent maker")
 ‫خيام اگر ز باده مستى خوش باش‬
‫با ماه رخى اگر نشستى خوش باش‬
‫چون عاقبت كار جهان نيستى است‬
‫ چو هستى خوش باش‬،‫انگار كه نيستى‬

A literal translation could read:

If with wine you are drunk be happy,
If seated with a moon-faced (beautiful), be
Since the end purpose of the universe is no
Hence picture your nothing-ness, then whi
 NASIR AL-DIN AL-TUSI

 he formulated the famous

law of sines for plane triangles,
which was one of his main
mathematical contributions
