i) Squares of numbers ending in 5 : Now we relate the sutra to the ‘squaring of numbers ending in 5’. Consider the example 252. Here the number is 25. We have to find out the square of the number. For the number 25, the last digit is 5 and the 'previous' digit is 2. Hence, 'one more than the previous one', that is, 2+1=3. The Sutra, in this context, gives the procedure 'to multiply the previous digit 2 by one more than itself, that is, by 3'. It becomes the L.H.S (left hand side) of the result, that is, 2 X 3 = 6. The R.H.S (right hand side)

    From the field of mathematics came Al-Kwarizmi's textbook on Algebra (document 4), which was used throughout Europe and beyond; and also Arabic numerals which were adopted from the Indians and used in a place-value system (document 4). These advancements were made possible because of the knowledge of both Indian and Greek mathematics, which were studied by Muslim scholars before the creation of any Islamic…

    Since the commencement of human existence, personal qualities such as: the pursuit of knowledge, the desire to expand ones horizons, and the inclination to establish and follow a dream, has significantly impacted society. From the earliest days, right up until the present time, a number of accomplishments have filled the vast expanse of time. Such accomplishments span from exemplary literary works, such as those of Cicero, Virgil, and Goethe; to philosophical breakthroughs of men like Rene Descartes who said, “I think therefore I am”, and finally to the unprecedented discoveries in the fields of mathematics and science. Among all the civilizations of time, those of the Pre-Columbian Era seem to have successfully applied mathematical concepts, mainly geometry and algebra, in a somewhat uncanny manner. One cannot all but question how engineers of today’s time, men and women with almost limitless resources, suffer periodic setbacks, while structures of the primitive Pre-Columbians have remained largely intact up until the present day. Clearly no one can compare the Golden Gate Bridge, Lincoln Tunnel, and Empire State building to Pre-Columbian structures, yet the simplistic success of these ancient people causes substantial curiosity. It seems, although only a personal conjecture, that through the analysis of modern day mathematics, insight into the minds of the long lost masterminds behind some of the worlds greatest architecture and the mathematics emphasized in their extraordinary works, can be ascertained.…

    Hinduism is a diverse body of religion, philosophy, and cultural practice native to and predominant in India, characterized by a belief in reincarnation and a supreme being of many forms and natures, by the view that opposing theories are aspects of one eternal truth, and by a desire for liberation from earthly evils (GodWeb, n.d.). In this paper I will further explore what the Hindu religion is encompassed of. And delve into what makes the religion of Hinduism vital to the region it is originated in.…

    In this time, “Europe was in deep slumber” (crest of the peacock). The transference of this knowledge to European colonies resulted in the production of some of the most influential mathematical knowledge. From a political point of view, mathematical knowledge can be considered as power. The mathematisation of modern life and society has been growing exponentially, so much so that the majority of human movements are conceptualised and controlled numerically. A strong education system has become the key to the quantified thought processes that are required in modern citizens.…

    1. The story of Arjuna and Krishna was a perfect metaphor for understanding the meaning of god in Hinduism as well as the importance of karma and reincarnation because it was so easy applicable to the average person. Arjuna is faced with a problem; he is hovering over what needs to be done and the needs of the people. He is really torn. You really start feeling for him because his story and hardships are very relatable to our lives. Lord Krishna tells him to submit all of his worries and stress to the Lord. He soon realizes in doing this that it helps him see what is real and what is in his head. Arjuna realizes how insignificant his problems really are. To sum it all up, if we can get ourselves to submit to the Lord, we will be able to see ourselves as part of the bigger picture.…

    Record-keeping pushes the human mind in other directions as well. In particular, record-keeping demands that humans start doing something all humans love to do: calculating. Numbers have to be added up, subtracted, multiplied, divided, and sundry other fun things. So the Sumerians developed a sophistication with mathematics that had never been seen before on the human landscape. And all that number crunching led the Sumerians to begin crude speculations about the nature of numbers and processes involving numbers—abstract mathematics.…

    “Let’s start with arithmetic. This is essentially the use of the four numerical operations addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division to calculate numerical values of various things. It is the oldest part of mathematics, having its origins in Sumeria (primarily today’s Iraq) around 10,000 years ago. Sumerian society reached a stage of sophistication that led to the introduction of money as a means to measure an individual’s wealth and mediate the exchange of goods and services.…

    By the end of the 18th century, the ideas of Romanticism pushed metaphysical teachings to have a greater concern with the thing-in-itself, pushing aside a previous concentration on the phenomenal world. Evoking new emotions and ideas, this period led Western scholars to expand upon the work of philosophes from the Age of Enlightenment. These reforms emerged through multiple mediums, anywhere from utilizing the Latin translation of the Upanishads by Anquetil-Duperron to adding new light to Kantianism. In a time of intellectual curiosity, 19th century philosophy incorporated many Vedic-based ideas, which have since been returned to, and analyzed by, members of the 20th and 21th century Hindu community.…
