  • Al-Biruni: a Great Muslim Scientist, Philosopher and Historian (973 – 1050 Ad)
    Al-Biruni: A Great Muslim Scientist, Philosopher and Historian (973 – 1050 Ad) Riaz Ahmad Abu Raihan Muhammad bin Ahmad, Al-Biruni was born in the suburb of Kath, capital of Khwarizmi (the region of the Amu Darya delta) Kingdom, in the territory of modern Khiva, on 4 September 973 AD.1 He learnt astronomy and mathematics from his teacher Abu Nasr Mansur, a member of the family then ruling at Kath. Al-Biruni made several observations with a meridian ring at Kath in his youth. In 995 Jurjani ruler attacked Kath and drove Al-Biruni into exile in Ray in Iran where he remained for some time and exchanged his observations with Al- Khujandi, famous astronomer which he later discussed in his work Tahdid. In 997 Al-Biruni returned to Kath, where he observed a lunar eclipse that Abu al-Wafa observed in Baghdad, on the basis of which he observed time difference between Kath and Baghdad. In the next few years he visited the Samanid court at Bukhara and Ispahan of Gilan and collected a lot of information for his research work. In 1004 he was back with Jurjania ruler and served as a chief diplomat and a spokesman of the court of Khwarism. But in Spring and Summer of 1017 when Sultan Mahmud of Ghazna conquered Khiva he brought Al-Biruni, along with a host of other scholars and philosophers, to Ghazna. Al-Biruni was then sent to the region near Kabul where he established his observatory.2 Later he was deputed to the study of religion and people of Kabul, Peshawar, and Punjab, Sindh, Baluchistan and other areas of Pakistan and India under the protection of an army regiment.

This text consists of a coherent group of instruc- tions on how to use a structured set of astronomical tables stemming from Islamic tradition, redacted primarily in Persian in the thirteenth century, then translated by Byzantine scholars into Greek, and spread among Byzantine scholars from the beginning of the fourteenth century.1 2. Astronomical texts and tables between the Il-khanate and Byzantium In the thirteenth century, astronomical tables stemming from Persia were mostly produced by Islamic scholars. The area, stretched out today between Iran and Azerbaijan, was ruled by the Mongols of the Il-Kha- nids dynasty.

  • An Unpublished Translator's Preface to a Brontologion (Petrop.Bibl.Publ
    Natural Omens in Byzantine Literature: An Unpublished Translator’s Preface to a Brontologion (Petrop.Bibl.Publ. 575) Elizabeth A. Fisher YZANTINE AUTHORS reflect the popular belief that God communicated with man through natural events, if only B human understanding could discern the message. Several writers of the tenth century illustrate this attitude by presenting unusual natural events as a metaphor or as a predictive indicator of human events. Theophanes Continuatus, for example, de- scribes the appearance of a remarkable star or comet at the birth and death of Constantine the Porphyrogennetos.1 Similarly, at the beginning of his History Leo the Deacon notes the coinci- dence of disruptive events in both the natural and the political spheres. Astral portents, earthquakes, lightning, and torrential rain simultaneous with many wars and the abandonment of cities and whole regions motivated the popular inference that the Second Coming was imminent.2 In the Life of St. Basil the Younger, the narrator Gregory notes that the sun appeared to drip blood when the rebel followers of Constantine Doukas (d. 913) entered Constantinople, predicting great slaughter.3 Although Christian Byzantium scorned pagan superstition 1 Theoph.

V. SARMA material for a proper understanding of his main work. He held the Sūryasiddhānta in great esteem and also wrote a Kamalākara was one of the most erudite and forward- commentary on that work. looking Indian astronomers who flourished in Varanasi Kamalākara was a critic of Bhāskara and his during the seventeenth century. Belonging to Mahar- Siddhāntaśiroman. i, and an arch-rival of Munīśvara, a ashtrian stock, and born in about 1610, Kamalākara close follower of Bhāskara. This rivalry erupted into came from a long unbroken line of astronomers, bitter critiques on the astronomical front. Thus Ranga- originally settled at the village of Godā on the northern nātha, younger brother of Kamalākara, wrote, at the . banks of the river Godāvarī. Towards AD 1500, the insistence of the latter, a critique on Munīśvara’s Bhangī family migrated to Varanasi and came to be regarded as method (winding method) of true planets, entitled . reputed astronomers and astrologers. Kamalākara Bhangī-vibhangī (Defacement of the Bhangi), to which . studied traditional Hindu astronomy under his elder Munīśvara replied with a Khand.ana (Counter). Munīś- brother Divākara, but extended the range of his studies vara attacked the theory of precession advocated by to Islamic astronomy, particularly to the school of Kamalākara, and Ranganātha refuted the criticisms of his Ulugh Beg of Samarkand.

  • A Study on the Encoding Systems in Vedic Era and Modern Era 1K
    International Journal of Pure and Applied Mathematics Volume 114 No. 7 2017, 425-433 ISSN: 1311-8080 (printed version); ISSN: 1314-3395 (on-line version) url: http://www.ijpam.eu Special Issue ijpam.eu A Study on the Encoding Systems in Vedic Era and Modern Era 1K. Lakshmi Priya and 2R. Parameswaran 1Department of Mathematics, School of Arts and Sciences, Amrita University, Kochi. [email protected] 2Department of Mathematics, School of Arts and Sciences, Amrita University, Kochi. [email protected] Abstract Encoding is the action of transferring a message in to codes. In this paper I present a study on the encoding systems in vedic era and modern era. The Sanskrit verses written in the vedic era are not just the praises of the Gods they are also numerical codes. In ancient India there were three means of recording numerals in Sanskrit words which are Katapayadi system, Bhutasamkhya system and Aryabhata numeration. These systems were used by many ancient mathematicians in India. In this paper the Katapayadi system used in vedic times is applied to modern ciphers– Vigenere Cipher and Affine Cipher. Key Words:Katapayadi system, vigenere cipher, affine cipher. 425 International Journal of Pure and Applied Mathematics Special Issue 1. Introduction Encoding is the process of transforming messages into an arrangement required for data transmission, storage and compression/decompression. In cryptography, encryption is the method of transforming information using an algorithm to make it illegible to anyone except those owning special information, usually called as a key. In vedic era, Sanskrit is the language used. It is supposed to be the ancient language, from which most of the modern dialects are developed.

  • Astronomy in India
    TRADITIONSKnowledg & PRACTICES OF INDIA e Textbook for Class XI Module 1 Astronomy in India CENTRAL BOARD OF SECONDARY EDUCATION Shiksha Kendra, 2, Community Centre, Preet Vihar, Delhi-110 092 India TRADITIONSKnowledg & PRACTICESe OF INDIA Textbook for Class XI Module 1 Astronomy in India CENTRAL BOARD OF SECONDARY EDUCATION Shiksha Kendra, 2, Community Centre, Preet Vihar, Delhi-110 092 India No part of this publication may be reproduced or stored in a retrieval system or transmitted in any form or by any means, electronic, mechanical photocopying, recording or otherwise, without the prior permission of the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE). Preface India has a rich tradition of intellectual inquiry and a textual heritage that goes back to several hundreds of years. India was magnificently advanced in knowledge traditions and practices during the ancient and medieval times. The intellectual achievements of Indian thought are found across several fields of study in ancient Indian texts ranging from the Vedas and the Upanishads to a whole range of scriptural, philosophical, scientific, technical and artistic sources. As knowledge of India's traditions and practices has become restricted to a few erudite scholars who have worked in isolation, CBSE seeks to introduce a course in which an effort is made to make it common knowledge once again. Moreover, during its academic interactions and debates at key meetings with scholars and experts, it was decided that CBSE may introduce a course titled ‘Knowledge Traditions and Practices of India’ as a new Elective for classes XI - XII from the year 2012-13. It has been felt that there are many advantages of introducing such a course in our education system.
