|| SANSKRIT & MATHEMATICS LECTURE | EXCERPTS ||
Princeton University Mathematician and Fields Medallist Manjul Bhargava delivered a lecture at the Madras Sanskrit College , Chennai , on the connection between Sanskrit and Mathematics .
Bhargava touched upon ancient Indian contributions to advancing number theory and geometry , the importance of preserving their historic contexts , and what institutions like Sanskrit College can do to legitimize modern debates over India's claims to primacy .
" For those of you that are interested in Mathematics , I thought I would share with you some of the things I found in Sanskrit literature .
All these ancient Mathematical works are so beautiful and yet there are no translations available for the public .
Only somebody who knows Sanskrit and knows Mathematics in a modern way can appreciate these works !
That is a very tiny percentage of the population .
That is just not acceptable โ when there is such beauty out there and only a tiny percentage of people can appreciate that . "
