has contributed in the entire world so
the most of the mathematics in the world
is of Indian origin and Mathematics of
India is practical in its approach and
pragmatic in spirit
this is immediate to investigate the
historical development of mathematics
therefore and astronomy through study of
original text or a pencil structures and
instruments so that those days you know
what was the methodology what was the
mechanism to develop and to to formulate
a simple conceptual approaches and
strategies in understanding mathematics
in simpler in simpler ways several
literatures suggest that ancient Indians
were Pioneer in Metallurgy and Material
Science knowledge as well and many of
these Technologies on the verge of being
lost now unfortunately so can we use AI
or the emerging Technologies of AIML and
bring back that Glory bring back that
