Friends,

When it was shown all the European Numeral along with English, as of Sanskrit Origin, friends say it is Indo European, The Sanskrit is the Oldest surviving languages of the world, so we can show that as origin, where as we see Telugu and Kannada existed when Sangam lit was written, so Saying Tamil as Dravidic root is not acceptable to many Scholars in Telugu and Malayalam, who like Pvanar has written articles that Tamil came from their Language.

Every Indian belong to the same Tradition.

Mathematics like many other sciences are Indian gift to the world.

Thank you, Uppuma for contributing your share of the Vedic lies!

What is the sutra for one plus one?

The Sanskrit is the Oldest surviving languages of the world

It is neither surviving nor old, it is just a liturgical language deviod of any naturality.
The earliest scientific evidence for sanskrit is after BC and there is no proof that it ever was used as a medium of communication, the quintessential attribute of a language. In that sense it is more like a computer langauge(like java, C etc) designed specifically for a purpose (liturgical)!

If Uppuma's parents are alive now it can be said that uppuma never came from them, awesome logic buddy

Dear Friends,

What a great finding by Mahadevan- When whole world accepts after researches, that All Sciences ar from India including MAthematics; and Sangam Tamil Literature stands proofs for that.

Uppuma

What are those "All Sciences"?

All is this, All is that?

Could it be that Egyptians were much more advanced in All Sciences rather than All Indian Sciences?

so, finally SRS never answered Bahliner's question! And he says there is a possibility of the letters representing different numbers. Alas, mathematics doesnt permit ambiguity. That's the beauty of it. If x = y, it stays that way and x ~= z when y ~= z. I would like to ask SRS if he can scan a copy of the vedas (published), where these verses are quoted and present them here. Also, I would like to know if I can interpret all the vedic mantras in this fashion.

This thread is not really the place to explain that in "Algebra" the choice of variables to represent particular quantities is arbitrary.
