Book Synopsis Cultural Foundations of Mathematics by : C. K. Raju
Download or read book Cultural Foundations of Mathematics written by C. K. Raju and published by Pearson Education India. This book was released on 2007 with total page 536 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Volume Examines, In Depth, The Implications Of Indian History And Philosophy For Contemporary Mathematics And Science. The Conclusions Challenge Current Formal Mathematics And Its Basis In The Western Dogma That Deduction Is Infallible (Or That It Is Less Fallible Than Induction). The Development Of The Calculus In India, Over A Thousand Years, Is Exhaustively Documented In This Volume, Along With Novel Insights, And Is Related To The Key Sources Of Wealth-Monsoon-Dependent Agriculture And Navigation Required For Overseas Trade - And The Corresponding Requirement Of Timekeeping. Refecting The Usual Double Standard Of Evidence Used To Construct Eurocentric History, A Single, New Standard Of Evidence For Transmissions Is Proposed. Using This, It Is Pointed Out That Jesuits In Cochin, Following The Toledo Model Of Translation, Had Long-Term Opportunity To Transmit Indian Calculus Texts To Europe. The European Navigational Problem Of Determining Latitude, Longitude, And Loxodromes, And The 1582 Gregorian Calendar-Reform, Provided Ample Motivation. The Mathematics In These Earlier Indian Texts Suddenly Starts Appearing In European Works From The Mid-16Th Century Onwards, Providing Compelling Circumstantial Evidence. While The Calculus In India Had Valid Pramana, This Differed From Western Notions Of Proof, And The Indian (Algorismus) Notion Of Number Differed From The European (Abacus) Notion. Hence, Like Their Earlier Difficulties With The Algorismus, Europeans Had Difficulties In Understanding The Calculus, Which, Like Computer Technology, Enhanced The Ability To Calculate, Albeit In A Way Regarded As Epistemologically Insecure. Present-Day Difficulties In Learning Mathematics Are Related, Via Phylogeny Is Ontogeny , To These Historical Difficulties In Assimilating Imported Mathematics. An Appendix Takes Up Further Contemporary Implications Of The New Philosophy Of Mathematics For The Extension Of The Calculus, Which Is Needed To Handle The Infinities Arising In The Study Of Shock Waves And The Renormalization Problem Of Quantum Field Theory.

Book Synopsis Ancient Hindu Science by : Alok Kumar
Download or read book Ancient Hindu Science written by Alok Kumar and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2022-05-31 with total page 197 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: To understand modern science as a coherent story, it is essential to recognize the accomplishments of the ancient Hindus. They invented our base-ten number system and zero that are now used globally, carefully mapped the sky and assigned motion to the Earth in their astronomy, developed a sophisticated system of medicine with its mind-body approach known as Ayurveda, mastered metallurgical methods of extraction and purification of metals, including the so-called Damascus blade and the Iron Pillar of New Delhi, and developed the science of self-improvement that is popularly known as yoga. Their scientific contributions made impact on noted scholars globally: Aristotle, Megasthenes, and Apollonius of Tyana among the Greeks; Al-Biruni, Al-Khwarizmi, Ibn Labban, and Al-Uqlidisi, Al-Ja?iz among the Islamic scholars; Fa-Hien, Hiuen Tsang, and I-tsing among the Chinese; and Leonardo Fibbonacci, Pope Sylvester II, Roger Bacon, Voltaire and Copernicus from Europe. In the modern era, thinkers and scientists as diverse as Ralph Waldo Emerson, Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, Johann Gottfried Herder, Carl Jung, Max Müller, Robert Oppenheimer, Erwin Schrödinger, Arthur Schopenhauer, and Henry David Thoreau have acknowledged their debt to ancient Hindu achievements in science, technology, and philosophy. The American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS), one of the largest scientific organizations in the world, in 2000, published a timeline of 100 most important scientific finding in history to celebrate the new millennium. There were only two mentions from the non-Western world: (1) invention of zero and (2) the Hindu and Mayan skywatchers astronomical observations for agricultural and religious purposes. Both findings involved the works of the ancient Hindus. The Ancient Hindu Science is well documented with remarkable objectivity, proper citations, and a substantial bibliography. It highlights the achievements of this remarkable civilization through painstaking research of historical and scientific sources. The style of writing is lucid and elegant, making the book easy to read. This book is the perfect text for all students and others interested in the developments of science throughout history and among the ancient Hindus, in particular.

This book was released on 2010 with total page 410 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Description: The volume presents a discourse on Science and the Public in the context of countries like India where the majority of the Public still lives in non-industralized settings. Questioning the applicability of prevailing literary trends on the subjects to Indian realities, an alternate discourse construct is presented. Existing literature, it is argued, has unfolded in the US and Europe since the Second World War, in discourse spaces circumscribed by their industrialization and Security led science policy agenda compulsions of public accountability creating institutionalized policy research capabilities in academia and research tools, techniques and approaches to support informed discourse on Science and the Public in thus constituted spaces. As the counterpart space is missing in India s science policy trajectory, an alternate discourse space and construct has been discerned in it that may be termed as Science in the Public (rather than Science and the Public ). Proffesor Yash Pal s essay reflects upon the wider context of this relocation. Alternate discourse is constituted by aspects of Science reflected in the public understanding of nature ( Gauhar Raza, hester du Plessis), in processes of science education (Vinod Raina) and in knowing, feeling and doing of indigenous knowledge (Anil Gupta). Science manifested in the livelihoods of the majority public living on margins of industrialization circumscribe a public-space for discourse that views science emanating from organised structures of education, scientific research and industry as coming into it from outside . The impact of tacit knowledge, subjective networks and of multidisciplinarity inherent in the former points to the emergence of a new order in the latter (Stephen Hill). Parthsarathi Banerjee presents yet another alternate discourse construct as contest between institutions of interlocked systems of knowledge immersed in practices and feeling ( bodily knowledge ). Chapters on science communication (Saroj Ghose and Subodh Mahanti), gender issues (Neelam Kumar) and on mobilishing informed public opinion on patents (Dinesh Abrol) provide reference points to mainstream international literary trends on the subject. Irfan Habib and Satpal Sangwan provide historical perspectives on the theme.
