The great mathematician Aryabhata

http://www.archive.org/details/The_Aryabhatiya_of_Aryabhata_Clark_1930 The Aryabhatiya of Aryabhata (CE 476 to 500) is one of the most important texts in the history of Indian mathematics and astronomy. He composed this work at the age of 23. Here are some of his noted achievements that are found in Aryabhatiya: 1. Aryabhata asserted that the Moon and planets shine by reflected sunlight and that the orbits of the planets are ellipses. 2. He also correctly explained the causes of eclipses of the Sun and the Moon. 3. His value for the length of the sidereal year at 365 days 6 hours 12 minutes 30 seconds is only 3 minutes 20 seconds longer than the true value of 365 days 6 hours 9 minutes 10 seconds. 4. He estimated the value of 'Pi' as : "Add four to one hundred, multiply by eight and then add sixty-two thousand. The result is approximately the circumference of a circle of diameter twenty thousand. By this rule the relation of the circumference to diameter is given." In...

विरक्त सन्त : स्वामी रामसुखदास जी

3 जुलाई/पुण्य-तिथि विरक्त सन्त    : स्वामी रामसुखदास जी धर्मप्राण भारत में एक से बढ़कर एक विरक्त सन्त एवं महात्माओं ने जन्म लिया है। ऐसे ही सन्तों में शिरोमणि थे परम वीतरागी स्वामी रामसुखदेव जी महाराज। स्वामी जी के जन्म आदि की ठीक तिथि एवं स्थान का प्रायः पता नहीं लगता; क्योंकि इस बारे में उन्होंने पूछने पर भी कभी चर्चा नहीं की। फिर भी जिला बीकानेर (राजस्थान) के किसी गाँव में उनका जन्म 1902 ई. में हुआ था, ऐसा कहा जाता है। उनका बचपन का नाम क्या था, यह भी लोगों को नहीं पता; पर इतना सत्य है कि बाल्यवस्था से ही साधु सन्तों के साथ बैठने में उन्हें बहुत सुख मिलता था। जिस अवस्था में अन्य बच्चे खेलकूद और खाने-पीने में लगे रहते थे, उस समय वे एकान्त में बैठकर साधना करना पसन्द करते थे। बीकानेर में ही उनका सम्पर्क श्री गम्भीरचन्द दुजारी से हुआ। दुजारी जी भाई हनुमानप्रसाद पोद्दार एवं सेठ जयदयाल गोयन्दका के आध्यात्मिक विचारों से बहुत प्रभावित थे। इस प्रकार रामसुखदास जी भी इन महानुभावों के सम्पर्क में आ गये। जब इन महानुभावों ने गोरखपुर में ‘गीता प्रेस’ की स्थापना की, तो रा...

Vedic Mathematics : Shulba Sutras

From research paper "Applied Geometry of the Sulba Sutras" by John F. Price The Sulba Sutras, part of the Vedic literature of India,describe many geometrical properties and constructions such as the classical relationship           a 2 +b 2 =c 2 between the sides of a right-angle triangle and arithmetical formulas such as calculating the square root of two accurate to five decimal places. Although this article presents some of these constructions,its main purpose is to show how to consider each of the main Sulba SDtras as a finely crafted, integrated manual for the construction of citis or ceremonial platforms. Certain key words, however, suggest that the applications go far beyond this. Paper "Square Roots in the Sulbasutra" by  David W. Henderson can be read here .
