Author

1. Rekha Rathore, Professor, Terna Engineering College, India

Abstract

Indian mathematics is one of the oldest and most influential systems of mathematical knowledge in the world. Originating from Vedic texts and evolving through centuries, it contributed significantly to arithmetic, algebra, geometry, and trigonometry. The invention of the decimal system and zero revolutionized global mathematics. This research paper explores the historical development, key mathematicians, major contributions, and the relevance of Indian mathematics in the modern world.    

Keywords

Indian Mathematics Vedic Mathematics Decimal Number System Concept of Zero Algebra (Bijaganita) Trigonometry Geometry

Conclusion

Indian mathematics represents a rich intellectual heritage that has shaped global mathematical development. From the invention of zero to advancements in algebra and trigonometry, Indian scholars made groundbreaking contributions. Understanding this legacy not only enhances knowledge but also inspires innovation in modern science and technology.
