Guest guest Posted August 18, 2007 Report Share Posted August 18, 2007 Dear All, I have uploaded a file in the files section, that starts discussing the 'Ancient Indian method of doing calculations using Kawri'. In the current stage the document only deals with addition only. The URL is: Sreenadh/Kawri%20-%\ \ 20Addition.pdf The method of using Kawri to do primary calculation is a wide spread practice among Kerala astrologers even today. Kawri is used to do Arithmetical calculations - Every text that mentions 'Pati ganita' point to calculations done by ancient scholars using similar method. Hope you will find the document beneficial. Ancient Indian scholars dealt with many branches of mathematics. The major branches would be - 1) Algibra (Pati Ganita) 2) Roots and Vargas etc (Kuttaka Ganita) 3) Polinomials (Beeja Ganita) 4) Astronomical mathametics (Gola Ganita) 5) Geometry While dealing with any of these branches 'Numerical arithmetic was done using 'Kawri' whether it be primary mathematics like normal addition, subtraction etc or complex calculations involved in Astronomy, Root finding etc. It seems that in North India (possibly due to continuous invasions by foreigners, wars etc) this method is lost similar to many other knowledge branches. But in South India the method got preserved through Gugu-Sishya Parampara and it is still available, like many other knowledge branches. In the ancient past Kawri method of doing mathematical calculation was widespread and well-known through out India - It is the heritage of India and not just of Kerala; even though Kerala happened to do the service of preserving the traditional knowledge.

Guest guest Posted August 19, 2007 Report Share Posted August 19, 2007 Dear All, I was expecting some comments on the same by someone! But till now I saw none!

That is what the method is intented for. " DO calculations, using stones or cowries on top of your table, in a fast and efficient way, as done by our ancestors " Note: Please don't read it again and again and try to repeat the steps using paper; That is not what they are intended for.
