In addition, trigonometry [8] was further advanced in India, and, in particular, the modern definitions of sine and cosine were developed there. [9] These mathematical concepts were transmitted to the Middle East, China, and Europe [7] and led to further developments that now form the foundations of many areas of mathematics.

Mathematics in India does not require that its readers have any background in mathematics or the history of mathematics. [7] It makes scholarship in this area accessible to a general audience, [18] for instance by replacing many Sanskrit technical terms by English phrases, [12] although it is "more of a research monograph than a popular book".

The Indian Mathematical Society (IMS) is the oldest organization in India devoted to the promotion of study and research in mathematics.The Society was founded in April 1907 by V. Ramaswami Aiyar with its headquarters at Pune.
The above magic squares of orders 3 to 9 are taken from Yang Hui's treatise, in which the Luo Shu principle is clearly evident. [7] [8] The order 5 square is a bordered magic square, with central 3×3 square formed according to Luo Shu principle. The order 9 square is a composite magic square, in which the nine 3×3 sub squares are also magic. [7]
Another class of numbers Kaprekar described are Kaprekar numbers. [10] A Kaprekar number is a positive integer with the property that if it is squared, then its representation can be partitioned into two positive integer parts whose sum is equal to the original number (e.g. 45, since 45 2 =2025, and 20+25=45, also 9, 55, 99 etc.)
Vedic Mathematics is a book written by Indian Shankaracharya Bharati Krishna Tirtha and first published in 1965. It contains a list of mathematical techniques which were falsely claimed to contain advanced mathematical knowledge. [1]
