Question

Conclusion for history of mathematics

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

I wish to conclude initially by simply saying that the work of Indian mathematicians has been severely neglected by western historians, although the situation is improving somewhat. What I primarily wished to tackle was to answer two questions, firstly, why have Indian works been neglected, that is, what appears to have been the motivations and aims of scholars who have contributed to the Eurocentric view of mathematical history. This leads to the secondary question, why should this neglect be considered a great injustice.

I have attempted to answer this by providing a detailed investigation (and analysis) of many of the key contributions of the Indian subcontinent, and where possible, demonstrate how they pre-date European works (whether ancient Greek or later renaissance). I have further developed this 'answer' by providing significant evidence that a number of Indian works conversely influenced later European works, by way of Arabic transmissions. I have also included a discussion of the Indian decimal place value system which is undoubtedly the single greatest Indian contribution to the development of mathematics, and its wider applications in science, economics (and so on).

Discussing my first 'question' is less easy, as within the history of mathematics we find a variety of 'stances'. If the most extreme Eurocentric model is 'followed' then all mathematics is considered European, and even less extreme stances do not give full credit to non-European contributions.

Mathematics is an intrinsic part of the problem-solving, investigation, testing, design and analysis work undertaken by the Australian Bureau of Statistics. It makes it possible to develop a comprehensive data-base of information in a cost-effective way
