Mathematics
Ancient India's contribution in mathematics is enormous. From the discovery of zero to giving arabic numerals. In fact, no field remained untouched with the research of Sanskrit Scholars. Though we do not find any direct texts written on mathematics in Vedic texts, still Indian's firmly believe that Vedas are the main source of mathematics in India, and hence called it Vedic Mathematics. This section of eAnveshan is dedicated to find direct and indirect mathematical descriptions in Sanskrit texts and present them before the world.

"The world owes most to India in the realm of mathematics, which was developed in the Gupta period to a stage more advanced than that reached by any other nation of antiquity. The success of Indian mathematics was mainly due to the fact that Indians had a clear conception of the abstract number as distinct from the numerical quantity of objects or spatial extension."

Initially, we have to start with collection of resources on mathematics evidences found in ancient Sanskrit Literature, then will work out to find any new concept , which is still unknown.
