- More about Mathematics In Ancient Jaina Literature
The book "History of Mathematics in Jain Literature" is a collection of articles that explores the presence of arithmetic, algebra, and geometry in Jaina literature. The conference aimed to highlight the lack of knowledge of past Jaina contributions to mathematics and provide a reference book for courses on the History of Mathematics.
Format: Hardback
Length: 248 pages
Publication date: 02 September 2022
Publisher: World Scientific Publishing Co Pte Ltd
The book is a compilation of selected articles presented at the ZOOM conference on the History of Mathematics in Jain Literature, held in December 2020. Additionally, it includes articles invited by the editors on specific topics. The primary goal of the conference was to draw the attention of historians of mathematics to the abundance of literature written by monks and scholars in Jain literature that contains elements of arithmetic, algebra, and geometry, independent of discoveries made by other cultures in the past. The talks and discussions at the conference emphasized the need for a comprehensive volume that can serve as a valuable reference book for a course on the History of Mathematics in the Departments of Mathematics and Education at colleges and universities. Our hope is that this volume will contribute to filling the knowledge gap regarding past Jaina contributions.
