Now one day my heart yearned to visit him, so I repaired to his place and found him there; and as we came together we both sat down in friendly converse, I and he; and he said to me "O my brother, do thou hear what happened and was accomplished for me in these times. I travelled to the land of Al-Yaman and therein met a familiar who, when we sat down to talk, I and he, said, 'O my brother, verily there befel me and betided me in the land of Al-Hind a case that was strange and an adventure that was admirable and it ran as follows.

Extractions: Having said all this, and possibly alienated some aesthetically minded readers with references to math, and scientifically minded readers with my cheek, I will have to spend the rest of this essay explaining what these statements mean, why I am justified in making them, and how such an application of mathematics is essential to this project. The Inadequacy of a Brief Explanation I recall one particularly unsuccessful attempt to describe the math in Urbàntasm . I was talking to a friend I had run into at a coffee shop. He was a Physics major at the University of Chicago, and was preparing to move to Berkeley for grad school. I was asking for help, but after stammering out a few questions, I realized he thought I was wasting my time.
Extractions: Problem One In this problem you will use what mathematicians call Modular Arithmetic. That means you may answer the question by thinking about the numbers on a clock face. If it is now 10:45 AM, what time will it be in (a.) 96 hours? (b.) 15 hours? (c.) 32 hours? Problem Two I would like one gold coin on the first square; two gold coins on the second square; four gold coins on the third square; and eight gold coins on the fourth square. Please, continue the pattern until all of the squares are filled? The king accepted his Ministers request as a reasonable one. How many gold pieces, was the Noble King obligated to give his minister? Problem Three The numbers in this problem form a Magic Square about 30. Notice the sum of the numbers in the fourth row. Continue around the outside of the square. Make the sum of the first column 30. Then complete the first row and the fourth column so that each sum is 30. Complete each remaining row and column. How many different ways can you find 30 in this Magic Square?

Extractions: Vedic - Mathematics This interesting article was forwarded by a friend. I wanted to share this with you. Mathematics is the queen of subjects. Rightly so, then, Vedic Mathematics is the glowing crown that adorns its proud forehead. Very few of the masses today are aware today, of Vedic mathematics, the magnanimity of its profound implications, and of its origins which guided the rest of the world towards purer and more intricate branches of mathematics and which, laid the foundations for number theory and arithmetic, the teeny-weeny part of which we are taught during our alma-mater days with hardly any reference made to its rightful owners ? our very own ancestors ?who pursued the study of mathematics with no less finesse than that of a fine art. A well-known fact it is, as every one knows now, for he/she has seen himself/herself or his friend, being answered by his teacher, during the primary years of his education, in response to his/her query full of childish criticism What has India given to Mathematics? that the numeral was indeed the creation of Indian mathematicians. Introduction of zero brought about a new revolution into the world of mathematics. It was zero that gave rise to the idea of representing numbers using base 10, as it is commonly used today. And it is zero because of which you are able to read this article. But why? How would a computer work without zeros and ones!!! So thats the zero there, right! Though the Arabs are given the credit of taking mathematics into broader frontiers, they had begun their work with the help of Indian manuscripts. The story goes something like this. It was in 773 that the Arabs were able to set their eyes on the astounding developments of numerical methods Indians used when one of the Indian palmist and fortune-teller happened to visit the Arabian lands. So impressed were the Arab mathematicians with Indian inventions that the Arab mathematician Muhammed-Ibna-Musa-Abu-Jafar-Al-Khwarizmi himself came to India to study Indian mathematics. After stating here for some time after learning the subjects to his satisfaction, he wrote his manuscript Algebra b-e-Mukabla? This is how Algebra?was born. His works, which were nothing but a translation of his Indian studies, left the European mathematicians spell-bound, especially by the use of base 10 to represent numbers. The idea of representing numbers by base 10, is thus, originally Indian.

Extractions: LEONARDO OF PISA (LEONARDUS PISANUS or FIB0NAcCI), Leonardos works are mainly developments of the results obtained by his predecessors; the influences of Greek, Arabian, and Indian mathematicians may be clearly discerned in his methods. In his Practica geometriae plain traces of the use of the Roman agrimensores are met with; in his Liber abaci old Egyptian problems reveal their origin by the reappearance of the very numbers in which the problem is given, though one cannot guess through what channel they came to Leonardos knowledge. Leonardo cannot be regarded as the inventor of that very great variety of truths for which he mentions no earlier source. The Liber cibaci, which fills 459 printed pages, contains the most perfect methods of calculating with whole numbers and with fractions, practice, extraction of the square and cube roots, proportion, chain rule, finding of proportional parts, averages, progressions, even compound interest, just as in the completest mercantile arithmetics of our days. They teach further the solution of problems leading to equations of the first and second degree, to determinate and inde~ terminate equations, not by single and double position only, but by real algebra, proved by means of geometric constructions, and including the use of letters as symbols for known numbers, the unknown nul5ntt,j h,-0,~ ,slIs,-i r~ ~rnl ~ As for the influence he exercised on posterity, it is enough to say that Luca Pacioli, about 1500, in his celebrated Summa, leans so exclusively to Leonardos works (at that time known in manuscript only) that he frankly acknowledges his dependence on them, and states that wherever no other author is quoted all belongs to Leonardus Pisanus.
