In Hinduism
Ganitashastra (Mathematics and Algebra)
Source: archive.org: Hindu MathematicsSamīkāra (समीकार) or Samīkaraṇa refers to “forming the equation”, according to the principles of Bījagaṇita (“algebra” or ‘science of calculation’), according to Gaṇita-śāstra, ancient Indian mathematics and astronomy.—Certain preliminary operations have necessarily to be carried out in order to prepare the actual solution of an equation of any type. Still more preliminary work is that of forming the equation (samīkaraṇa, samīkāra or samīkriyā; from sama, equal and kṛ, to do; hence literally, making equal) from the conditions of the proposed problem. Such preliminary work may require the application of one or more fundamental operations of algebra or arithmetic.
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.
