In Hinduism
Ganitashastra (Mathematics and Algebra)
Source: archive.org: Hindu MathematicsPratibhāṇḍa (प्रतिभाण्ड) refers to “commodity [that is obtained?]” and 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 Hindu name for barter is bhāṇḍa-pratibhāṇḍa (“commodity for commodity”). All the Hindu works on pāṭīgaṇita contain problems relating to the exchange of commodities. It is pointed out in these works that problems on barter are cases of compound proportion, and can be solved by the Rule of Five, etc.
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.
