Indian mathematics emerged in the Indian subcontinent [1] from 1200 BCE [2] until the end of the 18th century. In the classical period of Indian mathematics (400 CE to 1200 CE), important contributions were made by scholars like Aryabhata, Brahmagupta, Bhaskara II, Varāhamihira, and Madhava.
Varman was a close acquaintance of C.M. Whish a civil servant of East India Company attached to its Madras establishment.

Plofker writes that his texts were the most significant Sanskrit mathematics treatises after those of Bhaskara II, other than the Kerala school. [2]: 52 He wrote the Ganita Kaumudi (lit. "Moonlight of mathematics" [3]) in 1356 [3] about mathematical operations. The work anticipated many developments in combinatorics.
Gupta was one of the founders of the Indian Society for History of Mathematics, and in 1979 was the founding editor of its journal, Gaṇita Bhāratī, which he edited for over 25 years. [ 8 ] In 1991 he was elected a Fellow of the National Academy of Sciences, India , and in 1994 he became President of the Association of Mathematics Teachers ...
This follows the use of unit fractions in Indian mathematics in the Vedic period, and the Śulba Sūtras' giving an approximation of √ 2 equivalent to + +. [ 14 ] In the Gaṇita-sāra-saṅgraha (GSS), the second section of the chapter on arithmetic is named kalā-savarṇa-vyavahāra (lit. "the operation of the reduction of fractions").
