లీలావతీ గణితము – Lilavati, An
Ancient Mathematical Treatise
Published in 1936
Lilavati, an ancient mathematical
treatise composed by Bhaskaracharya, is a work of undying interest and
inspiration to all our present-day Hindu mathematicians. The position which
Bhaskara occupies in the galaxy of our ancient mathematicians and astronomers
is unique.
A study of old Indian mathematical books
is not merely of historical interest to us. Translation of these books into our
mother tongue provides us with a very useful instrument in the
vernacularisation of studies in our schools and colleges. The extent of mathematical
knowledge which this book displays, covers S, S.L.C. and Intermediate
syllabuses and a part of the B.A., syllabus.
Mr. Krishnamurty Sastri, besides
possessing an extensive and deep knowledge of the ancient mathematical and
astronomical treatises, reveals a firm grip on modern mathematical books. His
clear exposition and explanations make the book easily intelligible to all.
I hope that teachers and students of
mathematics in our Andhra Country will read this book with profit and encourage
the author to make this the beginning of a series of such books.
