Algebra, Pythagoras' theorem originated in India but credit went to other countries : Harsh Vardhan

[Areesh]

Don't know about Pythagoras theorem but a great majority of morons and idiots in this world do originate from India.

 

[SBD-3]

He is rights.

Pythagorean triplets were discovered by Baudhayana in 800BCE, and general proof of Pythagorean theorem was given by Āpastamba in 600BCE.



Baudhayana - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia


That theorem is known as Pythagoras theorem, not Āpastamba theorem because western school of mathematics derives it's roots from Greek school.


Similarly regarding Algebra (few examples):

Pingala - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (400BCE)





Brahmagupta - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (600CE)





Aryabhata - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (476CE)



Here is full list. Nearly every mathematician on this list have a book on algebra in his credentials.

List of Indian mathematicians - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Frankly, In field of mathematics, there is barely any country that could stand against Hindu India. I am using the term Hindu here since there is not even a single mathematician from Muslims in India. Indian mathematicians are either from Ancient time period ( before 1000CE in India) or are from Kerala school which was not overrun by muslims.

By the time muslims came to India, Science and mathematics has been declared a heresy by AL-Ghizali and muslims passionately hated pursuance of knowledge outside Koran. This is the reason for zero Islamic contribution to Science and Mathematics in India.





If by publishing, you mean writing a book on it then all of these have been publicized and authenticated. The only reason that we know these theorems by their western name is because of colonialism.

There was no concept of Science Journals in 800BCE.

A good idea is never lost. Even though its originator or possessor may die without publicizing it, it will someday be reborn in the mind of another....

Reason why Delhi is more keen on Kejriwal as CM than Harshwardhan

Kejriwal remained the top choice for chief minister’s post with 62 per cent votes. Others were Harsh Vardhan (24 per cent), Sheila Dikshit (12 per cent), Smriti Irani (0.8 per cent) and Jagdish Mukhi (1.2 per cent).


News24Online- News24-Isomes Survey: BJP benefits from colonies regularization, Kejriwal still favourite CM

Here you go @Guynextdoor2 your epitome of Secularism and Congress praising Dr.Harshavardhan himself, what will Congress do now, suspend him as MP next or kick him out of Congress?

Indians were traveling in warp speed before the Star Ships in Star Trek did.

 

[DRaisinHerald]

dont get angry but Urdu also originated from Sanskrit

What's wrong with Sanskrit? Pretty language, though dead.

 

[Path-Finder]

there might be some truth to because the Greeks did travel to India in ancient times and i don't mean Alexander at all but Greek intellectuals before Alexandre.

 

[LaBong]

An algebraic solution of pythagoras' theorem was indeed discovered in india, probably before it was discovered in Greece.

It is case of "boy cries the wolf", because of all kind outlandish claim by Sanghis, even the actual discoveries, like this one, are getting clouded and met with derision and skepticism by others.

Someone should launch a ghar tyag program for these idiots.

 

[psynic]

Isn't that true, though?

 

[Path-Finder]

Pythagoras theorem was discovered 1000 years before pythagoras did. But it was the Hittites some tablets were found showing it.

 

[gslv mk3]

planes, drones,satellites, computers all were created by Indians.

We we didn't invent them,but we mae them..

 

[ito]

Although to say that Algebra was invented by Indians is little off track, but Ancient Indian Mathematicians such as Aryabatta contributed heavily to the development of Algebra as a formal subject.

But what is really hilarious is to say that Indians invented Airplanes and Computers. It is good to give credit when its due. West was forefront in these modern inventions.

 

[Hasbara Buster]

I know that many aspects of mathematics and astro-physics were invented by Muslims. All of mankind throughout history have collectively contributed to scientific development. My dick is not bigger than yours and yours isn't bigger than mine...

 

[flameboard]

It's well known that the this mathematical practise existed before Pythagoras, but yeah some people REALLY BADLY wanna credit the Greeks for everything

 

[Kamikaze Pilot]

I AM LOVING IT!!!!

Greeks did great work in philosophy, sociology, and governance.

No need to diss them just because Hindutvadis want to reinvent the history.

This thread's OP is as usual bunch of hot air.

Fighting over a distant past doesn't contribute to present and future.

Thank you.
