From the rear cover
"Mathematics in India presents an accessible, readable, and well-informed treatment of the history of India's mathematical traditions. It includes topics discussed little to date: the social setting of the mathematicians, the textual practices learned in Sanskrit, and the realm of observational and timekeeping practices. The survey of the Kerala school and the later life of Indian mathematics are detailed, unique, and valuable."--Christopher Minkowski, University of Oxford
"No reliable book of this kind has been available, and Plofker's work makes an underdeveloped area accessible to all who are interested."--Johannes Bronkhorst, University of Lausanne, Switzerland
