| Item Description: | Includes bibliographical references (pages 205-213) and index The social origins of the Kerala school -- The mathematical origins of the Kerala school -- The highlights of Kerala mathematics and astronomy -- Indian trigonometry : from ancient beginnings to Nilakantha -- Reaching for the stars : the power series for sines and cosines -- Changing perspectives on Indian mathematics -- Exploring transmissions : a case study of Kerala mathematics -- A final assessment This book traces the first faltering steps taken in the mathematical theorisation of infinity which marks the emergence of modern mathematics. It analyses the part played by Indian mathematicians through the Kerala conduit, which is an important but neglected part of the history of mathematics. Passage to Infinity: Medieval Indian Mathematics from Kerala and its Impact begins with an examination of the social origins of the Kerala School and proceeds to discuss its mathematical genesis as well as its achievements. It presents the techniques employed by the School to derive the series expansion |
