Śreḍhī (श्रेढी) refers to a “series” (e.g., Guṇottara-Śreḍhī—“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).

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.
