Bibliography. 330 $aThis book includes 58 selected articles that highlight the major contributions of Professor Radha Charan Gupta?a doyen of history of mathematics?written on a variety of important topics pertaining to mathematics and astronomy in India. It is divided into ten parts. Part I presents three articles offering an overview of Professor Gupta?s oeuvre. The four articles in Part II convey the importance of studies in the history of mathematics. Parts III?VII constituting 33 articles, feature a number of articles on a variety of topics, such as geometry, trigonometry, algebra, combinatorics and spherical trigonometry, which not only reveal the breadth and depth of Professor Gupta?s work, but also highlight his deep commitment to the promotion of studies in the history of mathematics. The ten articles of part VIII, present interesting bibliographical sketches of a few veteran historians of mathematics and astronomy in India. Part IX examines the dissemination of mathematical knowledge across different civilisations. The last part presents an up-to-date bibliography of Gupta?s work. It also includes a tribute to him in Sanskrit composed in eight verses. 606 $aAlgebraic geometry 606 $aCombinatorics 606 $aProjective geometry 606 $aMathematical physics 606 $aObservations, Astronomical 606 $aAstronomy?Observations 606 $aAlgebraic Geometry$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/M11019 606 $aCombinatorics$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/M29010 606 $aProjective Geometry$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/M21050 606 $aMathematical Applications in the Physical Sciences$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/M13120 606 $aAstronomy, Observations and Techniques$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P22014 615 0$aAlgebraic geometry. 615 0$aCombinatorics. 615 0$aProjective geometry. 615 0$aMathematical physics. 615 0$aObservations, Astronomical. 615 0$aAstronomy?Observations. 615 14$aAlgebraic Geometry. 615 24$aCombinatorics. 615 24$aProjective Geometry. 615 24$aMathematical Applications in the Physical Sciences. 615 24$aAstronomy, Observations and Techniques. 676 $a516.35 702 $aRamasubramanian$b K$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910392719603321 996 $aGa?it?nanda$91733865 997 $aUNINA
