are contributions of India which influenced the Indian systems
of philosophy to a great extent. Rudimentary concept of infinity
could have been there in the mind of Indian philosophers. That
is why we have the sloka in Isavasyopanishad:
Poornamada, poornamidam Poornad Pooranm udachate,
Poornasya poornamadaya Poornamevavasisshyate
meaning that is infinite, this is infinite; when infinity is
added to infinity, infinity remains and when infinity is taken
from infinity, infinity remains. This is true for zero also. No
wonder that Indians represents the infinite extension of the sky
with number zero in Bootasankhya representation of numbers.
Sangamagrama Madhavan was the pioneer to invent the infinite
series in trigonometry for sine and cosines of angles.
Madhavan used the infinite series formula to evaluate the
value of π correct to 11 decimal places 3.14159265359. Recent
studies show that calculus, an important branch of modern
mathematics, had originated in the Kerala School well before the
time of Newton and Leibnitz. In Jyestadeva’s Yukti Bhasha which
dates hundreds of years before the time of Newton and Leibnitz,
we find the formulae for integration and differentiation. It is said
that Yukti Bhasha is the first textbook in the world dealing with
calculus. Another wonderful contribution of Sangamagrama
Madhavan is his table for sine of an angle from 0–90 degrees at
an interval of 3.75 degrees. He was also an expert in spherical
geometry and was usually called ‘Golavid’ (an expert in Spherical
Geometry).
