WORLD CIVILIZATION

Detailed explanation-1: -Excavations at Mohenjodaro, Harappa and the surrounding area of the Indus River discovered evidence of the use of basic mathematics. The mathematics used by the early Harappan civilization had mostly practical intent and was concerned with weights and measuring scales. Excavations present knowledge of basic geometry.

Detailed explanation-2: -Important innovations of this civilization include standardized weights and measures, seal carving, and metallurgy with copper, bronze, lead, and tin. Little is understood about the Indus script, and as a result, little is known about the Indus River Valley Civilization’s institutions and systems of governance.

Detailed explanation-3: -“Harappan geometry gave rise to Sulba geometry in Vedic times which laid the foundation of circle geometry, ‘’ said P. P. Divakaran from the Chennai Mathematical Institute. “Aryabhata invented trigonometry which subsequently gave rise to discrete calculus, ‘’ he said.

Detailed explanation-4: -Baudhayana (c 800 B.C): He is noted as the author of the earliest Sulba Sutra which contained several important mathematical results; the now known Pythagorean theorem is believed to have been invented by him.
