If you're interested in Indian mathematics or the decimal system, then this video is for you. By the end of this video, you'll have a better understanding of the decimal system and its relevance in Indian mathematics.
Mathematical knowledge that exists today is a gift from ancient India. Believe it or not, it is true. One of the 20th century's greatest brains, Albert Einstein has said about India's contribution in the following words, “we owe a lot to Indians, who taught us how to count through the decimal system, without which no worthwhile scientific discovery could have been made. Let's discuss the genius of Indian mathematical brains
[...] decimal System [...]
nine numbers and a zero can be combined to form an infinite mathematical expression and measurements.
This knowledge is said to be the unique contribution of ancient Indian genius to world's progress. [...] During Vedic times, the decimal system was very much in vogue in India. [...] Yacht Veda Samhita, 17th chapter, second mantra describes the numerical values in a sequence like a ga dasha shata sahasra Ayuta laksha Niyuta koti arbut brinda kara Nikhara shankar Pathma sagar Anthya Matthia paratha paratha's value is equal to ten to the power of twelve. Buddhist text called the Lalitha Vistara of first century BC describes up to ten to the power of 53 and called that numerical valuekshana. Another Jain text, Aniyogadhwara, describes numbers up to ten to the power of 140.
During ancient period, Greeks gave the biggest numerical value, called merit, which equals ten to the power of four, [...] that is 10,000 only. Biggest Roman numericals were ten to the power of three, that is thousand only, and it was called milli. [...] The numbers from zero to nine were first adopted by Arabs from India and had spread to Europe. Today we call the numericals as Indo Arab numericals [...]
