The question here is not of precedence but rather source. This article does not appear to be about mutually independent and unconnected discoveries. Rather it raises the point that Kerala Mathematics was communicated to Europe and probably might have informed the mathematics there. If yes, and a huge IF, it is quiet intriguing and rewrites the history of mathematics. Atleast that is my reading of this article.
- andi999 6y agoYes, but this reminds me of the claims that 'Zheng He discovered America, since he could do that and there is no evidence he didnt.' a few years back. This also could rewrite history, but it didnt and I think it shdnt.
