O knihe

Number has become our true friend since the time we started thinking about the need to use it in
our daily lives. Mathematics is omnipresent. Be it in business, architecture, designing, engineering,
nature and even our religious texts. The Vedas, Upanishads, Puranas provide evidence for the use
of large numbers, fractions, the concepts of infnity and zero. Advanced mathematical concepts
are discussed in the two great Hindu epics, Ramayana and Mahabharata. Besides, there are many
instances in the Bible, the Quran and many other scriptures which speak in volumes about their
mathematical richness.
Many people are of the belief that math and religion are on the opposing sides. However, in
ancient times, math and religion always went hand in hand and civilizations used math to explain
the world around them. Mathematics in Religion demonstrates that the root of mathematics lies in
religious texts. It is important to study these texts across religions, like Hinduism, Islam, Jainism
and Buddhism, to discover the fascinating world of mathematical concepts hidden in them.
