In Hinduism
Ganitashastra (Mathematics and Algebra)
: archive.org: Hindu Mathematicsٱ岵 (द्विभा�) or Dvyṃśa refers to “two-parts� (i.e., one half) in Bhinna (“fractions�) and Bhāga (“unit fractions�), which refers to one of the twenty operations (logistics) of ṭīgṇiٲ (“science of calculation which requires the use of writing material—the board�), according to Pṛthudakasvāmī’s commentary on the Brāhmasphuṭasiddhānta by Brahmagupta, a Sanskrit treatise on ancient Indian mathematics (ṇiٲ-śٰ) and astronomy from the 7th century.—In the Śulba, unit fractions are denoted by the use of a cardinal number with the term 岵 or ṃśa; thus pañcadaśa-岵 (“fifteen-parts�) is equivalent to one-fifteenth, sapta-岵 (“seven-parts�) is equivalent to one-seventh, and so on [e.g., dvi岵].

Ganita (गणित) or Ganitashastra refers to the ancient Indian science of mathematics, algebra, number theory, arithmetic, etc. Closely allied with astronomy, both were commonly taught and studied in universities, even since the 1st millennium BCE. Ganita-shastra also includes ritualistic math-books such as the Shulba-sutras.

[Sanskrit to German]
Sanskrit, also spelled संस्कृतम� (ṃsṛt), is an ancient language of India commonly seen as the grandmother of the Indo-European language family (even English!). Closely allied with Prakrit and Pali, Sanskrit is more exhaustive in both grammar and terms and has the most extensive collection of literature in the world, greatly surpassing its sister-languages Greek and Latin.
