Welcome to the IQ study.
My name is Order Singh.
Today we are going to talk about the scientific achievements of Enchant India.
Along with religion, philosophy, literature,
The Institute of India has also made immense contributions in fields like Mathematics, Astronomy, Science, Medicine, Ayurveda, Yoga etc.
Today we will discuss the scientists of all the fields and their achievements.
Let's start with mathematics and astronomy.
Many theorems and concepts of modern day mathematics were known to the ancient Indian mathematicians.
But due to lack of documentation and publicity
They couldn't find the place that their Western counterparts have.
For example, we are very familiar with the popularity of the ancient Greek mathematician Euclid.
But today we will also know some important Ancient Indian mathematicians and astronomers' contributions.
First of all let's talk about mindfulness
Baadhyan had given many concepts and theorems.
Which the Western World later rediscovered
Like he first calculated the value of a pie.
which could be used to calculate the area and circumference of any circle
In his book, the Solvathura, we have seen the Pythagorean theorem before.
Next scientist is Arya Bhatt name so heard will be
Like Bodhidharan, Arya Bhatt also independently calculated the value of pi.
According to him, the approximate value of the pie was 3.1416.
Arya Bhat was a great mathematician, astronomer, astrologer and physicist of the 5th century AD.
At the age of 23 he had written a book called Arya Bhattaya.
Which was the complete summary of mathematics of his time
In it you will get a great explanation on Decimal System, Number Theory, Geometry, Trigonometry, Algebra and Astronomy
Arya Bhat invented the most notable zero.
It helped them to calculate the distance between the Earth and the Moon.
In space science, Arya Bhatt had given very important hypotheses about our solar system.
Those who came afterwards and proved true.
Based on astronomical observations, he had told that the Earth is not immovable.
The force is a spherical body rotating on its axis.
He also gave the concept of heliocentrism
According to which all the planets revolve around the sun
Besides, he had given a scientific explanation of the solar and lunar eclipses.
After which people realized that eclipse is not the work of Rahu, Ketu or any demon or demon
For his great contributions, India's first satellite launched in 1975 was named after him.
The ryuvat was kept
After the advent of Brahma, born in the 7th century, Brahma Gupta had brought mathematics to new heights.
You know about Brahma Gupta.
The method of multiplying the Brahma Gupta was quite similar to today's multiplication method.
He introduced operations related to zero in mathematics.
And also he had written a book called Brahma Sport Siddhantika.
This led to the introduction of Indian mathematical systems to the Arab world.
This book also mentions many measuring instruments.
From which astronomers of that time read
Our next mathematician is Bhaskar Acharya
I now know about Bhaskar Acharya
Brahma Gupta was born in the 12th century AD.
He was a leading mathematician of the time.
He was born in Bijapur district of Karnataka.
He wrote a famous book called Sidhanta Shiromani.
which had four sections
Leelavati is arithmetic.
Algebra is algebra.
Rounded i.e. sphere
And planetary mathematics i.e. the mathematics of planets
In the 19th century, James Taylor translated the Leelavati section into English.
Which made the whole world aware of the brilliant mathematical concepts of Bhaskar Acharya
He solved an algebraic equation
cyclic method was allowed
Which the Europeans later
Inverse cyclic method popularised by name
Apart from this Jain Guru also
He had made a great contribution in the field of mathematics.
Mahvir Acharya was one of them.
Let's know about Mahvir Acharya
Mahvir Acharya in 850 AD
The collection of the Gnat was written.
Which you get from today's algebra textbook
It's going to look pretty similar.
He used John Napier's method of extracting LCM
A long time ago the method of LCM removal was allowed
Along with mathematics and astronomy
Ancient Indians have also worked in the field of science.
I had a lot to contribute. Let's see.
The science
Speaking of science, the first name comes from Kannad.
Born in the 6th century BC in Canada
Vaisheshika School of Philosophy was a school of thought.
His real name was Olukyu.
But from childhood his interest
I mean, it was in minute particles, which is why
His name was Kanad 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 Kanad
Varahmira Inshint India to the second
He was a well-known scientist.
So you know about Warhammira
Warhamira has studied hydrology, geology, ecology
And astrology is in astrology.
You did a great job.
For example, if we take the example of
6 such animals and 30 plants were named
which could be used to detect groundwater
Besides that
In the book called Brihat Samhata.
Warhamira had written a whole chapter on earthquake prediction
He also wrote a book called Panch Siddhantika Nam.
which contains five astronomical systems
was described
Astronomy as well as in the field of chemistry
Ancient India was very advanced
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 in any
The research was done to convert the metal into gold.
Also called alchemy.
Some of them were not completely successful.
He developed a gold plating technology in this process.
I'm still developing it today.
It is used in making imitation jewelry.
In the book of Rasaratnakaram, he has gold, silver,
extraction of metals such as tin, copper
But the method was written in great detail.
In addition to the ancient metallurgy
India's prowess is known to you Gupta
You can also install Delhi iron pillar made in age
To this day there is no war
It was all about chemistry and metallurgy.
Medical science in ancient India
He was not behind in any matter of science.
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 artery and
The name of the variable is taken first.
The book written by Atreya Rishi
The Atreya Samhita is one of the oldest medical books in the world.
After that, Charak was also a 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 causes and treatment of various diseases
Both were discussed in detail.
Which is still relevant today
In the field of surgery in the second division of medical science
No one could hold Sushruta's hand in the whole of India.
Plastic surgery i.e. rhinoplasty
And for cataract surgery i.e. for ophthalmic surgery
Sushrut is still remembered today
From the surgery performed by Sushrut in such a way
People had a new identity
In the book of Sushrut Samhata Nam, he has performed surgery.
1100, including
And 760 medicinal plants were also mentioned.
These plants you will find today in many home recipes
But not necessarily that all diseases cure
Ayurvedic medicine and surgery can only be done
Some diseases are also caused by a bad lifestyle
Ancient India has developed a method to deal with such diseases.
Yoga is allowed
Patanjali and Yoga
Yoga focuses on healing methods and medicine.
According to the Yoga formula of Patanjali
It has physical exercises i.e. asanas,
Meditation and breathing are combined with Pranaayam.
Physical, mental, emotional and spiritual balance is achieved.
The word yoga comes from the Sanskrit word yuj.
Which means you unite.
According to the Yoga scriptures, by doing yoga, the individual and universal consciousness become one.
Which establishes perfect harmony in mind and body, humans and nature.
It is because of these benefits of yoga that every year since 2015, June 21 is declared as International Yoga Day.
Global recognition of India's rich and glorious past.
Conclusion
Friends, as we have seen, the Chief of India was a Gordon H in terms of scientific achievements.
Many important concepts developed in India were brought to Europe by the Arabs.
And Bharti Sharj also discovered books like Leelavati after coming to India
The Institute maintains the Indian scientific tradition.
Even today Indian scientists contribute to the solution of global problems.
A good example of this is creating WY-to-K compliant computer programs before the year 2000 came along.
To deal with this problem, our scientists worked day and night to save the entire world's banking system, air travel, etc. from being crashed.
How did this episode of the History series feel, share it in the comments section.
