Ganitashastra (Mathematics and Algebra)
Source: archive.org: Hindu MathematicsGuṇanaphala (गुणनफल) refers to the “result of multiplication” in Guṇana (“multiplication”) which represents one of the twenty operations (logistics) of pāṭīgaṇita (“science of calculation which requires the use of writing material—the board”), according to Pṛthudakasvāmī’s commentary on the Brāhmasphuṭasiddhānta by Brahmagupta, a Sanskrit treatise on ancient Indian mathematics (gaṇita-śāstra) and astronomy from the 7th century.—The multiplicator was termed guṇya and the multiplier guṇaka or guṇakāra. The product was called guṇanaphala (result of multiplication) or pratyutpanna (lit. “reproduced”, hence in arithmetic “reproduced by multiplication”). The above terms occur in all known Hindu works.
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.
