Ganitashastra (Mathematics and Algebra)
Source: archive.org: Hindu MathematicsGaṇitānuyoga (गणितानुयोग) refers to the “exposition of the principles of mathematics”.—Importance to the culture of gaṇita (mathematics) is also given by the Jainas. Their religious literature is generally classified into four branches, called anuyoga (“exposition of principles”). One of them is gaṇitānuyoga (“the exposition of the principles of mathematics”). The knowledge of saṃkhyāna (literally, “the science of numbers”, meaning arithmetic and astronomy) is stated to be one of the principal accomplishments of the Jaina priest. In Buddhist literature too, arithmetic (gaṇanā, saṃkhyāna) is regarded as the first and the noblest of the arts. All these will give a fair idea of the importance and value set upon the culture of gaṇita in ancient India.
Ganitashastra (शिल्पशास्त्र, gaṇitaśāstra) refers to the ancient Indian science of mathematics, algebra, number theory, arithmetic, etc. Closely allied with astronomy, both were commonly taught and studied in universities, even since the 1st millennium BCE. Ganita-shastra also includes ritualistic math-books such as the Shulba-sutras.
