Mathematics education in the country can do with a pedagogical fix, not re-orientation of the curriculum towards the past
-
After history, mathematics seems to be in the crosshairs of the UGC. Over 900 researchers, mathematicians, and academicians from India and abroad have urged the UGC to reconsider its proposed changes to the undergraduate mathematics curriculum.
The higher education regulator wants BA/BSc maths courses to foreground Vedic mathematics, Bharatiya bijaganita (algebra), the Puranas and ideas of ancient Indian astronomy. It wants students to be taught the Narada Purana’s citations of geometry, and calculation of muhurtas (auspicious time) for rituals using the panchanga (Hindu almanac). Students must also learn about ancient Indian time units, evolution of Indian algebra, and ancient formulae in other areas of mathematics.
