Exploring the Contributions of Ancient Indian Mathematicians and the Foundations of Modern Mathematics

Ghanshyam Kumar Roy

Abstract: The mathematical heritage of ancient India spans millennia, influencing global developments in arithmetic, algebra, geometry, trigonometry, and even calculus. This paper presents a chronological exploration of India's most celebrated ancient mathematicians?Baudhayana, Aryabhata, Brahmagupta, Bhaskara I and II, and Madhava of Sangamagrama?alongside their key contributions. We examine the role of Vedic traditions, the Sulba Sutras, the decimal system, and the transmission of knowledge to the Islamic world and Europe. By tracing the evolution of mathematical thought in India, this study highlights the originality and profundity of Indian mathematics in shaping the modern world.

Keywords: Sutras and Sub-Sutras, Vedic Mathematics, Ancient Indian Mathematics, Historical Contributions to Mathematics, Arithmetic Shortcuts
