Do you know? A team of researchers from the University of Manchester & Exeter has confirmed CALCULUS was created in India 250 years before Newton & Leibniz. NO “WHITES” didn’t invent Calculus. They stole it from Indians. Read on to know the history 🧵
The fundamental theorem of Calculus comes from Aryabhata and developed by Indians over generations.
Certain preliminary concepts of the infinitesimal Calculus and analysis can be traced back to Siddhanta-siromani written by a Hindu Mathematician and astronomer Bhaskaracharya in 1150.
The seeds of the calculus laid by Aryabhata and developed further by subsequent generations of mathematicians. Some important members of this lineage were Parameshvara (1360-1455), Nilakantha (1445-1545) and Jyeshthadeva
While Aryabhata pioneered the use of the sine differences to find the sine table, subsequent mathematicians extended the ideas of Aryabhata. Aryabhata had given the sine values for 24 angles, Vateshvara in the Vateshvarasiddhanta tabulated the sine values for 96 angles between 0
Then comes the Kerala school of Mathematicians. Notable names are Madhava & Nilkantha whose work concerns the series expansions of the sine and cosine functions. The sine tables by Madhava as quoted by Nilakantha in his Aryabhatiyabhashya. It state the values of the sine
Calculus is considered to be a crowning achievement of Western mathematics, and it is held that Newton and Leibniz were its independent co discoverers. However there is no prior significant history or background of the development of that field in the region unlike we see in
So did Newton & Leibniz miraculously formulated Calculus all of a sudden? The answer is a BIG NO. Here is how mathematical knowledge of Kerala reached Europe who then plagiarised most of this knowledge and credited themselves with their sudden discoveries.
Around 15th century Asian countries like India & china was famous for their manufacturers. Among other things, fabrics such as cotton and silk, spices such as nutmeg, cinnamon, pepper and cloves, and other products such as musk, camphor, ambergris, sandalwood and incense were in
The only route to the East available at that time was the set of routes known as the Silk Route. Republic of Venice was the most important empire in Italy and because of its geographically strategic location enjoyed a virtual monopoly over this trade. Venice would import these
When Islamic Ottoman Empire overthrew the Byzantine Empire in 1453 and virtually blocked this trade European kingdoms started looking for alternative routes to India. Many expeditions were launched by Europeans to reach India. This is when Christopher Columbus by chance
Finally Vasco Da Gama with the help of an Indian navigator discovered the sea route to India and finally reached kerala, India. However, even though they discovered the route it was still not possible for them to come to India as Europeans lacked navigation skills of stellar
Knowledge of astronomy & Trigonometry was needed for navigation & cartography of Map which India was expert in. European government offered prizes for learning astronomy and Trigonometry. These gave rise to many mathematicians involved in navigation. One of these was
To acquire Indian knowledge and texts directly, Christopher Clavius trained Jesuit missionaries—the first batch of which came to India in the year 1578. The Jesuits after their arrival in 1578 set up a college there as well as a printing press. Slowly Indian Mathematical
19 years after jesuits landed in Kerala, suddenly Christopher Clavius published a table of sines, accurate upto 7 Decimal WITHOUT EXPLAINING THE METHOD. Coincidence?
THERE IS BARELY ANY MATHEMATICAL TREATISE FOUND IN ENTIRE EUROPE prior to the arrival of Jesuit missionaries. Suddenly after the arrival of these missionaries Europe suddenly becomes a Mathematical genius. Exactly how?
@SagasofBharat This is what American mathematician David Bressoud says-
@Trivedi_Tweets Absurd.
@SagasofBharat If India knows everything who what preventing her regain their grandeur...
@KishorTrvedi India got its independence just 78 years ago. We have already been to the Moon after that.
@SagasofBharat Eudoxus (408–355 BC) used the method of exhaustion. Euclid invented the Limit. Newton got his calculus from Fermat's way of drawing tangents. Leibniz invented his notation from scratch, which was soon adopted by Europe, England would fall behind Europe as they stuck to Newton🧐
@germanophile Some bunch of lies that white supremacists have peddled until now.
@SagasofBharat Put this in Grok.
@YourMajesttyy How?
@SagasofBharat Let’s assume for a minute, what you say about Indians is true (although, it’s not). So, Indians have been sitting on their meditative asses with those theories lying around, while West has been applying those principals, & developing? That means,Indians are worse than we thought
@equine2020 Indians were invaded and colonised for about 800 yrs in between where they were drained of their wealth & research. We got independence just 78 years back. And within this 78 years itself we have launched successful moon & Sun mission. Also successfully managed to take up all
