In Hinduism
Ganitashastra (Mathematics and Algebra)
Source: archive.org: Hindu MathematicsKṣetragata (क्षेत्रगत) refers to the “geometrical” (method of demonstration), according to the principles of Bījagaṇita (“algebra” or ‘science of calculation’), according to Gaṇita-śāstra, ancient Indian mathematics and astronomy.—The method of demonstration has been stated to be always of two kinds according to Bhāskara II in the Bījagaṇita:—“one geometrical (kṣetragata) and the other symbolical (rāśigata)”. We do not know who was the first in India to use geometrical methods for demonstrating algebraic rules. Bhāskara II (1150) ascribes it to ancient teachers.
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.
