In 1867 the Chinese dropped their maths & switched to British maths as they were concerned about the West producing better weapons via better maths. Ultimately, the better a country's maths education, the better its scientists. So, teaching Indian Maths is a STRATEGIC ADVANTAGE! https://twitter.com/forthenation5/status/1265326307841212416

DETAILS: In 1867 Empress Dowager Cixi (Tz’u-hsi), issued a royal command to abandon China’s homegrown mathematics and embrace the ‘modern mathematics’ that had come to dominate the West via the British Empire.

Having bypassed the empirical, symmetrical and practical mathematics of the East, western mathematics education professors most likely do not realise their own school teachers break elementary laws and misunderstood the abstract symbols they teach!

Crazy as this seems it's true!
