Book of Abstracts
IIT Gandhinagar, 16-17 March 2013 Workshop on Promoting History of Science in India ABSTRACTS Prof. Roddam Narasimha Barbarous Algebra, Inferred Axioms: Eastern Modes in the Rise of Western Science A proper assessment of classical Indic science demands greater understanding of the roots of the European scientific miracle that occurred between the late 16th and early 18th centuries. It is here proposed that, in the exact sciences, this European miracle can be traced to the advent of ‘barbarous’ (i.e. foreign) algebra, as Descartes called it, and to a new epistemology based on ‘inferred’ axioms as advocated by Francis Bacon and brilliantly implemented by Isaac Newton. Both of these developments can be seen as representing a calculated European departure from Hellenist philosophies, accompanied by a creative Europeanization of Indic modes of scientific thinking. Prof. Roddam Narasimha, an eminent scientist and the chairman of Engineering Mechanics Unit at the Jawaharlal Nehru Centre for Advanced Scientific Research, Bangalore, has made contributions to the epistemology of Indian science. He was awarded Padma Vishushan this year. Email: [email protected] Prof. R.N. Iyengar Astronomy in Vedic Times: Indian Astronomy before the Common Era Astronomy popularly means knowledge about stars, planets, sun, moon, eclipses, comets and the recent news makers namely, asteroids and meteorites. Ancient people certainly knew something about all of the above though not in the same form or detail as we know now. The question remains what did they know and when. To a large extent for the Siddhāntic period (roughly starting with the Common Era CE) the above questions have been well investigated. -
Blissard's Trigonometric Series with Closed-Form Sums
BLISSARD’S TRIGONOMETRIC SERIES WITH CLOSED-FORM SUMS JACQUES GELINAS´ Abstract. This is a summary and verification of an elementary note written by John Blissard in 1862 for the Messenger of Mathematics. A general method of discovering trigonometric series having a closed-form sum is explained and illustrated with examples. We complete some state- ments and add references, using the summation symbol and Blissard’s own (umbral) representative notation for a more concise presentation than the original. More examples are also provided. 1. Historical examples Blissard’s well structured note [3] starts by recalling four trigonometric series which “mathemati- cal writers have exhibited as results of the differential and integral calculus” (A, B, C, G in the table below). Many such formulas had indeed been worked out by Daniel Bernoulli, Euler and Fourier. More examples can be found in 19th century textbooks and articles on calculus, in 20th century treatises on infinite series [21, 10, 19, 17] or on Fourier series [12, 23], and in mathematical tables [18, 22, 16, 11]. G.H. Hardy motivated the derivation of some simple formulas as follows [17, p. 2]. We can first agree that the sum of a geometric series 1+ x + x2 + ... with ratio x is s =1/(1 − x) because this is true when the series converges for |x| < 1, and “it would be very inconvenient if the formula varied in different cases”; moreover, “we should expect the sum s to satisfy the equation s = 1+ sx”. With x = eiθ, we obtain immediately a number of trigonometric series by separating the real and imaginary parts, by setting θ = 0, by differentiating, or by integrating [14, §13 ]. -
A Quartically Convergent Square Root Algorithm: an Exercise in Forensic Paleo-Mathematics
A Quartically Convergent Square Root Algorithm: An Exercise in Forensic Paleo-Mathematics David H Bailey, Lawrence Berkeley National Lab, USA DHB’s website: http://crd.lbl.gov/~dhbailey! Collaborator: Jonathan M. Borwein, University of Newcastle, Australia 1 A quartically convergent algorithm for Pi: Jon and Peter Borwein’s first “big” result In 1985, Jonathan and Peter Borwein published a “quartically convergent” algorithm for π. “Quartically convergent” means that each iteration approximately quadruples the number of correct digits (provided all iterations are performed with full precision): Set a0 = 6 - sqrt[2], and y0 = sqrt[2] - 1. Then iterate: 1 (1 y4)1/4 y = − − k k+1 1+(1 y4)1/4 − k a = a (1 + y )4 22k+3y (1 + y + y2 ) k+1 k k+1 − k+1 k+1 k+1 Then ak, converge quartically to 1/π. This algorithm, together with the Salamin-Brent scheme, has been employed in numerous computations of π. Both this and the Salamin-Brent scheme are based on the arithmetic-geometric mean and some ideas due to Gauss, but evidently he (nor anyone else until 1976) ever saw the connection to computation. Perhaps no one in the pre-computer age was accustomed to an “iterative” algorithm? Ref: J. M. Borwein and P. B. Borwein, Pi and the AGM: A Study in Analytic Number Theory and Computational Complexity}, John Wiley, New York, 1987. 2 A quartically convergent algorithm for square roots I have found a quartically convergent algorithm for square roots in a little-known manuscript: · To compute the square root of q, let x0 be the initial approximation. -
Power Series and Taylor's Series
Power Series and Taylor’s Series Dr. Kamlesh Jangid Department of HEAS (Mathematics) Rajasthan Technical University, Kota-324010, India E-mail: [email protected] Dr. Kamlesh Jangid (RTU Kota) Series 1 / 19 Outline Outline 1 Introduction 2 Series 3 Convergence and Divergence of Series 4 Power Series 5 Taylor’s Series Dr. Kamlesh Jangid (RTU Kota) Series 2 / 19 Introduction Overview Everyone knows how to add two numbers together, or even several. But how do you add infinitely many numbers together ? In this lecture we answer this question, which is part of the theory of infinite sequences and series. An important application of this theory is a method for representing a known differentiable function f (x) as an infinite sum of powers of x, so it looks like a "polynomial with infinitely many terms." Dr. Kamlesh Jangid (RTU Kota) Series 3 / 19 Series Definition A sequence of real numbers is a function from the set N of natural numbers to the set R of real numbers. If f : N ! R is a sequence, and if an = f (n) for n 2 N, then we write the sequence f as fang. A sequence of real numbers is also called a real sequence. Example (i) fang with an = 1 for all n 2 N-a constant sequence. n−1 1 2 (ii) fang = f n g = f0; 2 ; 3 ; · · · g; n+1 1 1 1 (iii) fang = f(−1) n g = f1; − 2 ; 3 ; · · · g. Dr. Kamlesh Jangid (RTU Kota) Series 4 / 19 Series Definition A series of real numbers is an expression of the form a1 + a2 + a3 + ··· ; 1 X or more compactly as an, where fang is a sequence of real n=1 numbers. -

OBJECTIVES After reading this lesson, you will be able to : • recite all 14 Maheshwara Sutras; • know Sanskrit Sounds; and • identify the Pratyaharas. 7.1 MAHESHWARA SUTRAS There is story behind the Samskrita alphabets. Nataraja is other name of Shiva. He is in the dancing pose. Nataraja has Damaru in his one hand. Damaru is a small two-headed drum, used in many Indian, Buddhist and Tibetan traditions. Damru is known as the instrument of Lord Shiva. Damaru was first created by OBE-Bharatiya Jnana Parampara 59 Maheshwara Sutras CLASS-III Shiva to produce different sounds. Sanskrit Alphabets origined from the sound of the Damaru of the Lord Shiva called Maheswara Sutras. Notes Mãhesvara Sutrani is fourteen verses that organize the phonemes of Sanskrit as referred to in the Astadhyayi of Panini, the foundational text of Sanskrit grammar. A famous verse in Sage Panini's Ashtadhyayi says that the Panini grammar that is in use now is graced by Lord Shiva. Hence the first known organized sounds are known as the Maheshvara Sutra - Maheshvara being another name of Lord Shiva. -

Halbfass, India and Europe, p. 280) Les sixaines de darśana During the last centuries, the six-fold group of Vaiśeşika, Nyāya, Sāņkhya, Yoga, Mīmāņ- sā, and Vedānta ( ) hasgained increasing recognition in presentations of Indian philosophy, and this scheme of the systems is generally accepted today.1 Cest en effet cette liste de sys- tèmes philosophiques (darśana) quévoque le plus souvent, pour lindianiste, le terme şađ- darśana. Il est cependant bien connu, également, que le regroupement sous cette étiquette de ces six systèmes brahmaniques orthodoxes est relativement récent, sans doute postérieur au XIIe siècle;2 un survol de la littérature doxographique sanskrite fait apparaître quil nest du reste pas le plus fréquent parmi les configurations censées comprendre lensemble des sys- tèmes.3 La plupart des doxographies incluent en effet des descriptions des trois grands sys- tèmes non brahmaniques, cest-à-dire le matérialisme,4 le bouddhisme et le jaïnisme. Le Yoga en tant que tel et le Vedānta,par contre, sont souvent absents de la liste des systèmes, en particulier avant les XIIIe-XIVe siècles. Il nen reste pas moins que les darśana sont souvent considérés comme étant au nombre de six, quelle quen soit la liste.
