Mathematics in Vedic times was quite advanced and applied in various fields of science, astronomy and trade. Dr. Raj Vedam mentions Texts and Mathematicians and their contribution towards Vedic Mathematics and later developments in Indian Mathematics.

About Speaker:

Dr Raj Vedam holds a doctorate degree in Electrical Engineering with many years of multi-disciplinary experience, and has developed a strong research interest in the history of sciences, mathematics and technology. His research shows unacknowledged but significant contributions of ancient Indians to sciences and math, impacting several civilizations over different periods of time.

While Western texts on the subject enforce a parochial narrative sourcing all sciences and math from ancient Greece or Rome or Egypt, Raj Vedam presents contrary facts and evidence to show their indebtedness to the Indian civilization. He has presented his findings in over 200 public talks, several teacher training workshops, several research publications, and offers two courses on the same at Hindu University of America.
