• DEVELOPMENT OF THE SCIENCE OF COMBINATORICS IN ANCIENT INDIA
Abstract
The topic ‘Combinatorics’ deals with counting problems, which are usually associated with selection of some objects from a given collection of objects and their arrangements in a certain situation. The principles and methods of solving different combinatorial problems were well-known to the scholars of ancient India since the Vedic period. But no chronological account of contributions of Indian scholars in the field has been made available so far. The present paper is an attempt in this direction.
Keywords
