The Scientific Prowess of Ancient India
Welcome to the study IQ.
My name is Order Singh
Today we are talking
The scientific achievements of ancient India
Along with religion, philosophy, literature
Ancient Indians of mathematics, astronomy, science, and medicine
In Ayurveda, Yoga, etc. fields also
has made an immense contribution
Today we have an acre of all fields
Let's talk about scientists and their achievements.
Let's start with Mathematics and Astronomy
Mathematics and astronomy
You'll be surprised to know that
Many theorems and concepts of modern day mathematics
Ancient Indian mathematicians knew
But in the papers and in the publicity
Due to lack of money he couldn't get that place.
Which their Western counterparts have gotten
For example, we have an ancient Greek mathematician
Euclid's popularity is very familiar to us.
But today we have some important ancient Indian
The contributions of mathematicians and astronomers
First of all let's talk about Buddhiyan
Buddha had given many concepts and theorems.
Which the Western World later rediscovered
Like he did first.
The value of the pi was calculated
So that any circle's area and circumference
Could be calculated
In a clear scripture.
The Pythagorean Theorem is the same equation we got from Pythagoras.
First to see is the next scientist.
Aryabhata name is heard only
Like Buddhiyan, Aryabhata also
Independently the value of pi was calculated
Approximate value of Pi according to them
The number of
Aryabhata, the great mathematician of the 5th century A.D.,
He was an astronomer, astrologer and physicist.
At the age of 23 he
Aryabhata was writing a book called
Which was the complete summary of mathematics of his time.
It has decimal system, number theory,
Geometry, trigonometry, and math.
He's good at algebra and astronomy.
Aryabhata has said
The most notable Zero was invented
Because of this they are between the Earth and the Moon
I had a lot of help in keeping the distance.
In space science, Aryabhat has discovered our solar system.
There were very important hypotheses about
Which were later proved true.
Based on astronomical observations, he had told
That the earth is not immovable
The ball rotates on its axis
It's a spherical body.
He also gave the concept of heliocentrism.
According to which all the planets of the sun
Besides, they're not going to be able to do anything.
He also gave a scientific explanation of the solar and lunar eclipse.
After which people found out
That Eclipse Rahu, Ketu or any
A demon or demon doesn't work.
For his great contributions
The name of India's first satellite launched in 1975
The ryuvat was kept
Born in the 7th century AD after the Aryabhata
Brahma Gupta had taken Mathematics to new heights
You know about Brahma Gupta.
The method of multiplication of the Brahma Gupta
The multiplication method was very similar to today's.
He's got a zero-related operation in Maths.
Introduced by
And also he has Brahma Sport Siddhantika
The book was also written called
The Arabs were familiar with Indian Mathematical Systems.
In this book, many measuring instruments are also
In the vision of the astronomers of that time
We used to read our next mathematician.
Bhaskar Acharya
I now know about Bhaskar Acharya
Brahma Gupta 500 years after
Born in 12th century A.D.
He used to be the leading mathematician of that time.
He was born in Karnataka's Bijapur.
He was born in the district of Sidhant Shiroomani.
A famous book was written by her in which four
Seeksans were Leelavati or
Arithmetic, algebra, that is algebra,
Goladhayya is sphere.
And planetary mathematics is the mathematics of planets.
James Taylor in the 19th century
The English translation of "Section" was
That will make the whole world look like a ghost
Brilliant mathematical concepts had been discovered
He solved algebraic equations
Cyclic Method was introduced which
Europeans later developed the Inverse Cyclic Method
Popularised by name
Jain Guru also teaches Mathematics
He had contributed a lot in the field.
Mahvir Achare was one of them.
Let's know about Mahvir Achare
Mahvir Achare in 850 AD
The collection of the Gnat was written.
Which you'll find in today's algebra textbooks
It's going to look pretty similar.
He was the one who took out John Napier's LCM.
Ancient Indians along with Mathematics and Astronomy
He had also contributed a lot in the field of science.
Let's see
Speaking of science, so the first name
Canada's coming
Born in the 6th century BC
Vaisheshika School of Philosophy was in touch with him.
His real name was Olukyu.
But from childhood their interest is
The particles were in the minute, which is why they're called minute.
Kanad was read
Surprisingly, closer to Dalton
2600 years ago he gave the atomic theory
Which was quite close to modern atomic theory
Born in the 6th century AD after Canada
So you know about Warh Mera
My research has been in Hydrology, Geology, Ecology and
Astrology i.e. astrology scripture had done a very good job
For example, if we take the example of
6 such animals and 30 plants were named
which could be used to detect groundwater
In addition, in the book called Brihat Samhata
Warh Mera had written a whole chapter on earthquake prediction
He also wrote a book called Panch Siddhantika Nam.
5 Astronomical Systems which were described
In addition to astronomy, in the field of chemistry
The most prominent name in the world is Nagarjuna.
Do you know about Nagarjuna?
Nagarjuna was born in the 10th century AD.
He did a great job in chemistry and metallurgy.
He spent his whole life working with any metal
I was invested in research to convert it into gold.
Also called alchemy.
Some of them were not completely successful but they
In this process, a gold plating technology was developed.
Which is still used in making imitation jewelry today.
In the book of Rasatnakara Nam, he
Extraction of metals such as gold, silver, tin, copper
Apart from this, you will know the entrance of Enchant India in Metallurgy.
You can also install it from the Delhi Iron Pillar built in Gupta Edge.
To this day there is no war
So it was Chemistry and Metallurgy.
Medical Science in India from other Sciences
In no case was he behind
I 'll see.
Medical science
Medicine and Surgery
Medical Science has two main divisions
Ayurvedic Medicine and Surgery in Ancient India
Both ways patients were treated
In Ayurvedic medicine, the name of the artery and the charak are taken first.
The book written by Atreya Rishi Atreya Samhita
It's one of the oldest medical books in the world.
After that, Charak was also the pioneer doctor of Ayurveda.
He is the Rajvayadh of Maharaja Kanishk.
I mean, the Royal Doctor used to be.
After much research, he wrote Charak Samhita.
The root cause and treatment of various diseases
Both were discussed in detail.
Which is still relevant today
Medical Science to the other Division
In the field of surgery
Sushruta's hand throughout ancient India
No one could catch
Plastic surgery i.e. Rhinoplasty and Cataract surgery
I mean, for ophthalmic surgery.
Sushrut is still remembered today.
Cutting off the nose or ears at that time
Common Punishment used to be
From the surgery performed by Sushrut in such a way
People had a new identity
In the book of the name of the Lord.
He did surgery.
1100 diseases and
760 medicinal plants were also mentioned.
These plants you will find today in many home recipes
But it's not necessary.
That cure all diseases
Ayurvedic medicine and surgery can only be done
Some illnesses bad
Ancient India has developed a method to deal with such diseases.
Yoga is allowed
Patanjali and Yoga
Yoga, focuses on healing without medicine
According to the Yoga formula of Patanjali
Physical exercise i.e. asana in it,
Meditation and breathing exercise i.e. Pranayam

Which makes mind and body, humans and nature
Perfect harmony is established
Yoga has these benefits.
Every year, June 21st, 2015 is marked as International Yoga Day.
Global recognition of India's rich and glorious past
What could be better?
The Commission has
Guys, as we have seen
Ancient India was a golden age in terms of scientific achievements.
Many important concepts developed in Hindustan
The Arabs were killed by the Yorb.
And the British also came to India after
Leelawati is like books rediscovered by
Maintaining the ancient Indian scientific tradition
Indian scientists today
Contributing to the Solutions of Global Problems
A good example of this is before the year 2000 came.
Creating Y2K compliant computer programs
To deal with this problem our scientists have
Working hard all day and all night
Banking system, air travel etc. were saved from being crashed.
