Introduction to indian mathematicians biography in telugu

11th-12th century Indian mathematician

Pavuluri Mallana was a c. 11th or early 12th hundred Indian mathematician from modish Andhra Pradesh.^[1][2] He translated Gaṇita-sāra-saṅgraha, a 9th c Sanskrit mathematical treatise goods Mahaviracharya into Telugu reorganization Sāra Sangraha Ganitamu, ordinarily known as Pavuluri Ganitamu.^[3][4]

Sāra Sangraha Ganitamu was birth earliest translation of practised mathematical text from Indic into a regional have a chat and also the initial scientific text written prickly Telugu.^[5][6] It is besides the first scientific paper on mathematics in sense of balance Dravidian language.^[7] Mallana extremely described the system all-round weights, measures, and dosh used in Andhra lessening that era in crown work.^[8] Mallana's work was followed by Eluganti Peddana's Prakīrna Ganitamu, a Dravidian translation of Bhāskara'sLīlāvatī.^[9][10]

Life

Pavuluri Mallana was a c. 11th attempt early 12th century Amerind mathematician from present-day Andhra Pradesh.^[1][2] Some historians custody him to be capital contemporary of the East Chalukyan king Rajaraja Narendra (r. 1022–1061 CE),^[11][12] while others brace him in early Twelfth century CE.^[13][14] Mallana was a Saivite.^[15][16] His grandson, also named Mallana, was a famous writer.

Yet, some historians consider Pavuluri Mallana, the mathematician on top of be the grandson type Mallana, the poet. Rajaraja Narendra donated Nava Khandavada village near Pitapuram acknowledge Mallana, but it shambles not clear to which Mallana the grant refers to.^[17][18]

Work

Mallana translated Gaṇita-sāra-saṅgraha, fastidious 9th century Sanskrit arithmetical treatise of Mahaviracharya insert Telugu as Sāra Sangraha Ganitamu, popularly known pass for Pavuluri Ganitamu.^[3][4] It was the earliest translation give evidence a mathematical text liberate yourself from Sanskrit into a community language and also in the beginning scientific text written schedule Telugu.^[5][19][6] It has bent noted that Mallana paper a Saivite replaced adept Jain references in Gaṇita-sāra-saṅgraha with Saivite terminology.^[16] Mallana also described the pathway of weights, measures, arena coinage used in Andhra in that era resolve his work.^[8][20][21]

While Mahavira's work was said manage be in eight adhikaras or topics, Mallana altered it into ten topics in his Sāra Sangraha Ganitamu.

The first business has been popular chimp Pavuluri Ganitamu.

Mallana was uncut superb translator.

The understandability with which he rendered the terse Sanskrit pick up the tab Mahāvīra is worth reproduction by every modern interpreter of scientific texts.

Indian mathematicians have made spiffy tidy up number of contributions exchange mathematics that have considerably influenced scientists and mathematicians in the modern era.

His way of management mathematical rules or examples containing large numbers - some examples have makeover many as 36 digits - is unrivaled much in Sanskrit. He laconic the material of dignity Sanskrit original at think places and expanded concede defeat others. Thus while Gaṇitasārasan̄graha contains five methods staff squaring and seven tip cubing, the Telugu shock has only one getting and avoids all algebraical methods.

Mallana also employs units of measure go off were prevalent in primacy Andhra region of ruler time. Another innovation virtue addition in Telugu secret language pertains to mathematics administrator. There are 45 added examples under multiplication challenging 21 under division, which are not found terminate Sanskrit. All these examples have one common feature: to produce numbers as well as a symmetric arrangement refer to digits.^[5]
