Description:
This celebrated work delves into the profound achievements of the Hindus in the realm of mathematics, with a special focus on geometry. While the Vedic Hindu is often revered for his religion, philosophy, vast literature, and devotional poetry, this book highlights his equally remarkable contributions to the sciences — particularly to the branch of geometry known as Sulba. The term Sulba refers to the ancient Vedic science of geometry, an area where the Hindus exhibited unparalleled understanding and precision.
Through a detailed exploration, B. Dutta presents how the Vedic scholars, in their pursuit of Paravidya ("Supreme Knowledge") and Satyasya Satyam ("Truth of truths"), also made significant strides in Apara-vidya ("Inferior knowledge" or "Relative truths"), including mathematics. The book offers rich insights into the intellectual legacy of ancient India, illustrating a side of Vedic culture that is often overshadowed by its spiritual accomplishments.
