In Hinduism
Ganitashastra (Mathematics and Algebra)
Source: archive.org: Hindu MathematicsGhava (घव) refers to the “sixth power” as it represents the abbreviation of ghanavarga, according to the principles of Bījagaṇita (“algebra” or ‘science of calculation’), according to Gaṇita-śāstra, ancient Indian mathematics and astronomy.—The symbols for powers and roots are abbreviations of Sanskrit words of those imports and are placed after the number affected. Thus the square is represented by va (from varga), cube by gha (from ghana), the fourth power by vava (from vargavarga), the fifth power by vaghaghā (from vargaghanaghāta), the sixth power by ghava (from ghanavarga), the seventh power by vavaghaghā (from vargavargaghanaghāta) and so on.
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.
