Hindu mathematics

Hindu Mathematics refers to the mathematical concepts and techniques developed in ancient India, notably during the Vedic period and later texts like the Sutras and the works of mathematicians such as Aryabhata and Brahmagupta. It introduced important ideas such as the decimal system, zero as a number, and advanced methods for arithmetic, algebra, and geometry. These contributions laid the foundation for modern mathematics and influenced mathematics in the Islamic world and Europe. Hindu Mathematics emphasized practical applications, particularly in astronomy, commerce, and engineering, showcasing the civilization's sophisticated understanding of numerical concepts.
