In Hinduism
Ganitashastra (Mathematics and Algebra)
Source: archive.org: Hindu MathematicsKhaguṇa (खगुण) refers to a “multiple of zero”, in ancient Indian mathematics (gaṇita-śāstra).—[Bhāskara II in the Līlāvatī]:—“In addition cipher makes the sum equal to the additive. In involution and evolution the result is cipher. A number divided by zero is khahara (that number with zero as denominator). The product of (a number and) zero is zero, but it must be retained as a multiple of zero (khaguṇa), if any further operations impend. Zero having become a multiplier (of a number), should zero afterwards become a divisor, the number must be understood to be unchanged. So likewise any number, to which zero is added, or from which it is subtracted (is unaltered)”.
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.

[Sanskrit to German]
Sanskrit, also spelled संस्कृतम् (saṃskṛtam), is an ancient language of India commonly seen as the grandmother of the Indo-European language family (even English!). Closely allied with Prakrit and Pali, Sanskrit is more exhaustive in both grammar and terms and has the most extensive collection of literature in the world, greatly surpassing its sister-languages Greek and Latin.
