INTRODUCTION
ΙΧΙΣ
tables recorded in Ganitatilaka are given but some more from several other works.
In the end, I may mention that it affords me great pleasure to record my indebtedness to my friend Dr. Bibhutibhusan Datta for the material help I could derive from some of his excellent contributions in the mathematical field, and for the valuable suggestions he made while going through the proofs of this introduction. I have also to offer my best thanks to Sheth Mohanlal Hemacand Jhaveri for his having lent to me the palm-leaf Ms.' above referred to. Furthermore I am highly obliged by Dr. B. Bhattācărrya M. A., Ph. D., who most willingly included this work in the Gaekwad's Oriental Series, and thus gave me a splendid opportunity of editing a work on Mathematics, a favourite subject of mine.
