In Hinduism
Ganitashastra (Mathematics and Algebra)
Source: archive.org: Hindu MathematicsDaśagītikā (दशगीतिका) is the name of a work by Āryabhaṭa I (499) which contains his alphabetic system of notation for enumerating the numerical data of his descriptive astronomy.—Note: The Daśagītikā as the name implies ought to contain ten stanzas, but actually there are thirteen. Of these the first is an invocation to the Gods, the second is the paribhāṣā (“definition”) given above and the thirteenth is of the nature of a colophon. These three stanzas are, therefore, not counted.—Cf. W. E. Clark, “Hindu-Arabic Numerals”, Indian Studies in Honour of Charles Rockvell Lanman, (Harvard Univ. Press), 1929, p. 231.
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, 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.
