It is the earliest Indian text entirely devoted to mathematics. [5] He expounded on the same subjects on which Aryabhata and Brahmagupta contended, but he expressed them more clearly. His work is a highly syncopated approach to algebra and the emphasis in much of his text is on developing the techniques necessary to solve algebraic problems. [ 6 ]
Ram Chandra Shukla (4 October 1884 – 2 February 1941), [1] better known as Acharya Shukla, was an Indian historian of Hindi literature. He is regarded as the first codifier of the history of Hindi literature in a scientific system by using wide, empirical research [2] with scant resources.
Besides Hindi, he was master of many languages including Sanskrit, Bengali, Punjabi, Gujarati as well as Pali, Prakrit, and Apabhramsa. He had a great knowledge of Sanskrit, Pali and Prakrit. As a student of Sanskrit, steeped in the Sastras, he gave a new evaluation to Sahitya-sastra and he is be considered as a great commentator on the textual ...
Bhāskara (c. 600 – c. 680) (commonly called Bhāskara I to avoid confusion with the 12th-century mathematician Bhāskara II) was a 7th-century Indian mathematician and astronomer who was the first to write numbers in the Hindu–Arabic decimal system with a circle for the zero, and who gave a unique and remarkable rational approximation of the sine function in his commentary on Aryabhata's ...
Damodar Dharmananda Kosambi (31 July 1907 – 29 June 1966) was an Indian polymath with interests in mathematics, statistics, philology, history, and genetics.He contributed to genetics by introducing the Kosambi map function. [1]
The awareness [of Indian and Arabic mathematics] is all too likely to be tempered with dismissive rejections of their importance compared to Greek mathematics. The contributions from other civilisations – most notably China and India, are perceived either as borrowers from Greek sources or having made only minor contributions to mainstream ...

A description of Kaprekar's constant, without mention of Kaprekar, appears in the children's book The I Hate Mathematics Book, by Marilyn Burns, [6] published in 1975. Today his name is well-known and many other mathematicians have pursued the study of the properties he discovered. [2]
