The Great Ganesha

So it looks like the theory that calculus in India predated Newton’s and Liebnitz’s calculus is back in the news again. I blogged about it in a series of three posts some time back, and it’s good to see that it’s getting some traction. I seriously doubt it will enter the mainstream any time soon, though. Well, not until India dominates the world, that is. Rest assured, the probability of that happening in any of our lifetimes is about the same as it snowing in San Francisco in July.
