May be some of mine information will be wrong you can cross check and refute here in decent language. Let's dive into the history of Science and Mathematics of India. Telling India means our Ancient India, not today's British India.

You should know about it.
In the late 9th C, Sridhara (probably from Bengal or South India) provided mathematical formulae for a variety of practical problems involving ratios, barter, simple interest, mixtures, purchase and sale, rates of travel, wages, and filling of cisterns.

Some of these examples involved fairly complicated solutions and his Patiganita is considered an advanced mathematical work. Sections of the book were also devoted to arithmetic and geometric progressions, including progressions with fractional numbers or terms, and formulas for
the sum of certain finite series are provided.
Vijayanandi of Benares, whose Karanatilaka was translated by Al-Beruni into Arabic and Sripati of Maharashtra are amongst the prominent mathematicians of the century.

In the 9th Century, Mahaviracharya Mysore wrote Ganit Saar Sangraha where he described the currently used method of calculating the Least Common Multiple (LCM) of given numbers.

The leading light of 12th Centuary Indian mathematics was Bhaskaracharya who came from a long-line of
mathematicians and was head of the astronomical observatory at Ujjain.
He left several important mathematical texts including the Lilavati and Bijaganita and the Siddhanta Shiromani, an astronomical text.

could have two solutions.

integration. The enormous contributions of Indian mathematics was generously acknowledged by several important Arabic and Persian scholars, especially in Spain.
Although it appears that original work in mathematics ceased in much of Northern India after the Islamic conquests,

It is also notable that Jyesthadeva's Yuktibhasa which contained commentaries on Nilkantha's Tantrasamgraha included elaborations on planetary theory later adopted by Tycho Brahe, and mathematics that anticipated work by later Europeans.
Pythagoras - the Greek mathematician and philosopher who lived in the 6th C B.C was familiar with the Upanishads and learnt his basic geometry from the Sulva Sutras.

rules and definitions describing Sanskrit grammar in his treatise called Asthadhyayi.

Panini's constructions can also be seen as comparable to modern definitions of a mathematical function. G G Joseph, in The crest of the peacock argues that the algebraic nature of Indian
mathematics arises as a consequence of the structure of the Sanskrit language. The Anuyoga Dwara Sutra demonstrates an understanding of the law of indeces and uses it to develop the notion of logarithms. Terms like Ardh Aached , Trik Aached, and Chatur Aached are used to denote
log base 2, log base 3 and log base 4 respectively.
In the course of developing a precise mapping of the lunar eclipse, Aryabhatta was obliged to introduce the concept of infinitesimals - i.e. tatkalika gati to designate the infinitesimal, or near instantaneous motion of the moon

and express it in the form of a basic differential equation. I think nothing missed from math's topic which you used to study today. All these works are destroyed by Islamic invasion. Once Macaulay said, if you have to conquer India, destroy their education system.
Abbasid scholar Al-Gaheth wrote: " India is the source of knowledge, thought and insight”.

Al-Andalusi, an 11th C Spanish scholar and court historian was amongst the most
enthusiastic in his praise of Indian civilization, and specially remarked on Indian achievements in the sciences and in mathematics.

find. As I am also writing above things with the help of websites, which are available on google. Why you can't. Because I have curiosity to know my roots. And I am proud of my roots.

Guru Sishya tradition of education. We are repeatedly fed nonsense after nonsense about our fast. They told you Hindus are divided itself on the name of caste and you people believed them. No any human oppressed by our ancient people. That was the result what we are now.
They fooled you by saying that Arayabhata only discovered zero, and you forget the other prominent contributions of Aryabhata. He was the first person to formally define the place value system with zero. And more works are mentioned above.
I don't care who is reading this thread
I don't care who is reading this thread
or not. I am happy and blessed with the works of our Ancient people. And I will try to keep my roots alive till the last breath. I don't care whose government is ruling India and what ideology they have. My family believed the Vedas or Purana now it's my duty to keep it alive.
I don't care Sanskrit provide me a job or placement in India. But still I learn the every aspects of Sanskrit.
To the sanatani intellectual I request them to please go through this thread and atleast you elite people do some research.
That's all
