Books like Zero is not the only story by Premendra Priyadarshi


Zero is not the only story explores the breadth of modern sciences—mathematics, astronomy, physics, chemistry, botany, and medicine—within ancient India. Drawing extensively from original texts, the book presents translations and analyses of passages from the Rig Veda, Atharva Veda, Chandogya Upanishad, Shulba Sutras, and the Vaisheshika Sutra of Kanada. It examines how early Indian scholars addressed concepts like kinetic and potential energy, heliocentric theories, binary mathematics, period and permutation calculations, and medical practices found in the Atharva Veda. The work also traces the transmission of these ideas to the Western world, making it a valuable source for scholars researching the scientific heritage of ancient India.
