The Brilliance of Indian Astronomers and Mathematicians of Kerala School during Medieval Period

Abstract

This paper is an effort to assemble in a synchronized manner, the brilliant contribution of the illustrious Keralian Mathematician and Astronomers, since Vararuchi (fourteenth century C.E) to Medieval Periods Madhava (C.1340- 1425), Paramesvara (C.1360- 1455), Nilakantha Somayaji (C. 1444 -1545) and his followers. It would entail that Indian Mathematics was well ahead by 350 to 400 years in comparison to European contributors Newton, Leibnitz, Taylor and others.
