This book fills up a major deficiency in the organization of the complete history of Hindu Mathematics, by giving a comprehensive account of the growth and development of the science of mathematics in India from the earliest known times down to the seventeenth century of the Christian era. The first volume deals with the history of the numeral notations and of arithmetic. The second volume is devoted to algebra, a science in which the ancient Hindus made remarkable progress in the very early times. (jacket). N� de r�f. du vendeur 98147
