Mathematics is science that deals with logic of shape, quantity and arrangement
Math is all around us
Ancient Rishis of India contributed incredibly in Math
Without Indians, no worthwhile scientific discovery could have been made – Einstein

Zero & numbers were invented in India
Zero is widely seen as one of the greatest innovations in human history, is the cornerstone of modern mathematics and physics, plus the spin-off technology,” said Peter Gobets, secretary of the ZerOrigIndia Foundation

Algebra
As much as students hate it today, India has had big contributions in the field of Algebra in the ancient times
In ancient India, conventional mathematics termed Ganitam was known before the development of algebra
This is borne out by the name – Bijaganitam

Trigonometry
The character of subject started to resemble modern form only after time of Aryabhata
From here it went to Europe through Arabs and went into several modifications to reach its present form. In ancient times Trigonometry was considered a part of astronomy

Decimal System and Quadratic formula
In the classical period of Indian mathematics (400 CE to 1600 CE), important contributions were made by scholars like Aryabhata, Brahmagupta, Mahāvīra, Bhaskara II, Madhava of Sangamagrama and Nilakantha Somayaji

Fibonacci Numbers
Fibonacci sequence is a series of numbers where a number is found by adding up the two numbers before it
It was first described by Virahanka, Gopala and Hemachandra as an outgrowth of earlier writings by Pingala

Length
Rulers are believed to have been used by the Indus Valley Civilization prior to 1500 BCE
Made of ivory rulers found during excavation, reveal amazing accuracy of decimal subdivisions on it
Indus Civilization achieved great accuracy in measuring

Weights
Since early times adoption of standard weights and measures has reflected in architectural, folk, and metallurgical artifacts
A complex system of weights and measures was adopted by Maurya empire (322–185 BCE)
And many has been excavated in Indus Valley also

Geometry
There was an area of mathematical applications called Rekha Ganita (Line Computation)
The Sulba Sutras, which literally mean ‘Rule of the Chord’
Some of the important works in this field are by Apastamba, Baudhayana, Hiranyakesin, Manava, Varaha, and Vadhula.

Infinite Series
Madhava was the first to take the decisive step from the finite procedures of ancient Indian mathematics to treat their limit-passage to infinity. His contributions include infinite-series expansions of circular and trigonometric functions

Binary Code
Binary numbers were used in India prior to 2nd century A.D., more than 1500 years before their discovery in west
The source of this discovery is a text of music by Pingala named “Chhandahshastra” meaning science of meters
