A must-read book for every Math enthusiast!
India’s mathematicians have made significant contributions over the last 5000 years. From the ever-popular Aryabhata, widely recognized for revolutionizing the number system and Shakuntala Devi, universally admired for her fast mental calculations to pioneers forgotten by time, like Baudhayana, who explained the Pythagoras’ theorem nearly 3000 years ago, and Anand Kumar of the Super 30 fame, among others. The figures included in this book are trailblazers in the world of mathematics.
Fresh, accessible and inspiring, The Great Indian Mathematicians celebrates persistent mathematicians throughout Indian history. This book is an ideal introduction for the next generation of tenacious and curious Mathematics wizards, and features a goldmine of tips and tricks, nuggets of surprise and much more!
Each chapter has an element of surprise from little-known facts, movies to watch, places to visit, and even a ‘Tips and Tricks’ section with simple tricks and sums for young readers to solve.
