Subject: Info. about Vedic Mathematics

  There is very good book by

   E.T.Bell, " The Development of Mathematics " - Dover, 1960.

  Also you may check on Morris Kline, " mathematics and culture " ...

there is a book by HH the Shankaracharya of Puri entitled "VEDIC MATHEMATICS".
 i do not recall the publisher's name, but i am sure your university's library
will be able to locate it for you.

From: Rajeev Gowda

I have the
following list that was sent to me nearly a couple of years ago by Professor
Kak of Louisiana State University.  Assuming that Professor Kak doesn't mind
dissemination of this list or his address, I enclose the following (it's not
exactly Vedic mathematics but might be relevant).

Subject: Re: Re indology

Dear Vivek,

Welcome to the INDOLOGY discussion group.

I'm afraid I didn't see any query about "Vedic" mathematics in the
last few weeks.  But some months back there was an exchange in which
I and Michio Yano posted some literature references to this group.

It is possible to get the logs of past INDOLOGY discussions from the
Liverpool listserv.  Start by sending the message "help" to the
address "listserv@liverpool.ac.uk".  The message "index indology"
sent to the same address will return to you a list of all the
documents (including logs) that can be retrieved.  To get a file sent
to you I think you say something like "get filename indology".  I
*believe* there is even a way of having listserv do a subject or
keyword search through the files, but I don't know offhand how to
do that.

Best wishes,

Dominik

INDOLOGY on LISTSERV@LIVERPOOL.AC.UK

     The INDOLOGY list is chiefly aimed at academics interested in the
     study of classical India.  The group might be expected to discuss
     topics such as the history of linguistics, Indo-european philology and
     grammar, issues of character set encoding, the location of citations,
     and the exchange of e-texts.
