In Hinduism
Ganitashastra (Mathematics and Algebra)
: archive.org: Hindu Mathematicsʰ岵 (प्रभाग) refers to one of the six classes (پ) of combinations of Bhinna (“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.—Hindu treatises contain special rules for the reduction of classes [of numbers] (پ) to proper fractions (bhinna). Śrīdhara and Mahāvīra each enumerate six پs [e.g., ʰ岵], while Brahmagupta gives only five and Bhāskara II following Skandasena reduces the number to four. The need for the division of fractions into classes arose out of the lack of proper symbolism to indicate mathematical operations.

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.
