Talk:List of Indian mathematicians

Jain school in ancient Indian mathematics
"Ancient Jain Mathematics" is a book written by Prof.R.C.Gupta printed at Jain Humanities Press, Canada and United States of America, see BOOK 'ANCIENT JAIN MATHEMATICS' TO BE RELEASED AT MYSORE. I received it these days.
 * It is available trough Mathemajik Sosity, India. Gangleri | [ Th] | T 04:16, 13 August 2005 (UTC)

On page 12 and 13 is a list that "indicates the contribution of the Jain School in its own right to the study of ancient Indian mathematics:" note: some characters for Devanāgarī transcription are used – Regards Gangleri | [ Th] | T 09:27, 10 August 2005 (UTC)

Editing
I am editing all mathematicians who have no article in wikipedia. yyy

List of Indian Mathematical and Scientific Journals
I feel that at some point in the near future, I should put a list of some of the journals of this type up to show what mathematical work has been going on within that part of the world in recent times.

For the moment, the above will have to do.

Jaideep Garg
I removed the reference to Jaideep Garg. Could not find any evidence for his prominence in the field of mathematics. Please correct if I am wrong.

What happened on the 10:15, 2 July 2007 edit? Surely Bhaskara still belongs here. 75.75.18.202 (talk) 03:37, 13 December 2007 (UTC)

Vedic mathematician
Is Aditya Bhatta a Vedic mathematician. I could not find any evidence. Overall, somebody with the required knowledge should doublecheck the list. Fabian Hassler (talk) 08:26, 27 June 2010 (UTC)


 * I will remove Aditya Bhatta from the listing of Vedic mathematicians. I found no indication that this person exists at all! Please correct me if I'm wrong. Fabian Hassler (talk) 07:52, 8 July 2010 (UTC)

On classifying those of "Indian-origin" as Indian
It is contestable whether Manjula Bhargava should be added into the list of Indian mathematicians considering that he was never born in India and as far as I know, never lived there for a significant period of time. I can't see why he should be classified as Indian.

Chandrashekhar Khare and Akshay Venkatesh were both born in India but left the country very early on.

I suggest that the title be changed from List of Indian mathematicians --> List of India-born mathematicians to avoid ambiguity. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Romitmitra (talk • contribs) 15:27, 18 January 2013 (UTC)

Missing Other Names
Shakuntala Devi is one of the mathematician I felt should be there. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 125.19.4.210 (talk) 13:00, 21 May 2013 (UTC)
