In Hinduism
Ganitashastra (Mathematics and Algebra)
Source: Google Books: Encyclopaedia of the History of Science, Technology, and Medicine in Non-Westen Cultures (math)Saṅkalitā (सङ्कलिता) refers to a “series” (e.g., Guṇottara-Saṅkalitā —“multiplicative series”).—Indian mathematicians long knew about finite geometric series, which they called guṇottara-saṅkalitā or guṇottara-śreḍhī (multiplicative series), and methods of summing the finite geometric series were a part of the elementary school curriculum from at least 1,300 years ago and are found in numerous elementary texts such as the Pāṭigaṇita of Śrīdhara. Indeed, summing a finite multiplicative series was a very common commercial problem found in a variety of other sources such as the Gaṇitasāra-Saṃgraha of Mahāvīra, Mahā Siddhānta of Ᾱryabhaṭa II, the Līlāvatī of Bhaskara II, etc. (Cf. rule 126 et. seq; the numbering differs between Colebrooke, 1816 and the critical edition of Sarma, 1975).
Source: archive.org: Hindu MathematicsSaṃkalita (संकलित, “addition”) refers to 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 addition is saṃkalita (‘made together’). Other equivalent terms commonly used are saṃkalana (making together), miśraṇa (mixing), saṃmelana (mingling together), prakṣepaṇa (throwing together), saṃyojana (joining together), ekīkaraṇa (making into one), yukti, yoga (addition) and abhyāsa, etc. The word saṃkalita has been used by some writers in the general sense of the sum of a series.
Saṃkalita is of two kinds, according to Bhāskara II in the Līlāvatī:
- Direct process (krama) [i.e., beginning from the units place],
- Inverse process (utkrama) [i.e., beginning from the last place on the left].
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 to German]
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.
