What the book contains
From almanacs (panchangams) and the precise calendrical systems of astrology and astronomy (jyotisa), to ingenious astronomical instruments such as the Ghatika Yantra and Samrat Yantra for empirical observations, anew book released by the Union ministry of education's Indian Knowledge Systems (IKS) division has highlighted India’s ancient scientific heritage — and said it is aimed at bridging “ancient insight with modern inquiry” and sparking “scientific curiosity and cultural confidence among students and educators”.
The 430-page “Indian Knowledge Systems: Indian Contributions to Science, Volume I,” showcases India’s contribution to mathematics stating that long before Issac Newton and Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz formalised calculus in Europe, scholars in medieval Kerala, led by Madhava of San-gamagrama (circa 14th century), “were already exploring infinite series and laying the foundations for mathematical analysis”.
