Abstract
The Indian knowledge system in mathematics is one of the world's most ancient and profound
knowledge systems. In addition to introducing the concept of zero, Indian mathematicians also
made significant contributions to the study of other fields, including geometry, arithmetic,
binary mathematics, the concept of negative numbers, algebra, trigonometry, and calculus. The
decimal place value system used worldwide today was first developed in India. This
comprehensive exploration of the Indian knowledge system in mathematics provides a detailed
analysis of its historical development, significant contributions, and underlying philosophical
principles. The paper aims to highlight the works of ancient Indian mathematicians, methods of
knowledge dissemination, and the far-reaching influence of Indian mathematics on global
mathematical thought.
