The Power of Hindu Mathematics | Satya Samvad EP 12
In the twelfth episode of Satya Samvad, Dr. Mrittunjoy Guha Majumdar interacts with Dr. Bhaskar Kamble about the identity, relevance and power of Hindu mathematics. We are moving surefootedly towards Bharatiya decolonization on various fronts, one of which involves reclaiming our mathematical heritage, from realizing that the Pythagoras Theorem should be called the Baudhayana formula just as much as Meruprastara may be more apt name for what we know as Pascal's triangle. Bharat has had the dual of centralization and decentralization in thought. Centralization in a fundamental philosophy and way of life, and decentralization in the ways it is seen in myriad avenues of life and society. Mathematics happens to be one such area. For example, in Dharmic philosophy, the concept of infinity is significant, representing the boundless and eternal nature of the universe, as seen in the celebrated Shloka Purnamadha Purnamidam. During the Vedic Period, religious texts show evidence of the utilization of large numerical values. By the era of the Yajurveda Samhita (1200–900 BCE), numbers as extensive as 10^12 were incorporated into texts. The Satapatha Brahmana, dating back to around the 7th century BCE, includes guidelines for ritualistic geometric constructions that bear resemblance to the principles outlined in the Sulba Sutra, which had one of the earliest extant verbal expression of the Pythagorean Theorem in the world. Over the centuries, we lost many of our traditional mathematical techniques. Decolonization in the modern context means that we must reclaim our intellectual capital, and mathematics must be part-and-parcel of that exercise.
