He entered India through the Hindukush. As a great ruler, he developed good relations with the local authorities while establishing his garrisons. While returning back due to the pressure of his war weary soldiers, he left these areas to be ruled by Greek governors. Chandragupta Maurya fought the Macedonians and defeated them. Gradually these states were lost out to Indian states. But the contact between the two cultures put a lasting influence on Indian art and architecture. Mauryan Empire The dissatisfaction against foreign rulers started appearing in 320BC. The early uprisings were crushed by the successors of Alexander. But the uprising continued under a new leader named Chandragupta Maurya. After raising an army and persuading Indians to support his sovereignty he founded Maurya Empire. He went to war with Alexander's representatives and defeated Seleukos and added a large territory of the Macedonian Empire to Mauryan Empire. The successor of Chandragupta was his son Bindusara who reigned from 300BC to 273BC. He was a very strong ruler and maintained a friendly relation with the Hellenic west established by his father. Bindusara had many sons and when he died, Asoka, one of his sons, took over.

History of Indian Astronomy Suggested Text Treasures of Ancient Indian Astronomy A ncient Indians' interest in astronomy was an extension of their religious preoccupations and inasmuch, astronomy and mathematics ran parallel. Both were faithful to the needs of objectivity and subjectivity. Astronomy began as mere wonder at what was observed in the heavens above, grew into a systematic observation and speculation, hence forward into scientific inquiry and interpretation, finally emerging as a sophisticated discipline. Mystical interpretations of the movement of stars and planets developed into astrological science, and astronomy grew into a major factor in the intellectual pursuits of different cultural periods. The chief sources of astronomy-related information are the Vedic texts, Jain literature, and the siddhantas (texts), as also the endeavours in Kerala. Some seals of the Indus Valley period are believed to yield information of the knowledge available to those early settlers, as also the orientation of certain constructions clearly governed by such considerations. An interesting aspect is the Jantar Mantar observatories built by Sawai Jai Singh of Jaipur. There are 5 such structures for measuring time and for astronomy-related calculations, at New Delhi, Varanasi, Jaipur, Mathura and Ujjain. These eighteenth century astrolabes are important for both scientific and architectural reasons. Sawai Jai Singh, in his determination to provide accurate astrological tables, ordered these gigantic structures of stone. The Jaipur observatory includes the largest sundial in the world with a 90 feet high projecting arm (the gnomon). The measurements achieved by these Jantar Mantars were particularly impressive for their time - the astronomical table was very accurate and in some instances, better than contemporary western ones. This table was published in Persian and Sanskrit as the Zij Muhammad Shahi. The time was and is calculated by a study of the shadows cast by the central straight walls on to the curved walls beyond. The weather forecasts and other information provided by these sundials are very much in use at present, for religious and practical purposes.

Home Vedic Lessons Index Suggestions LESSON 3 : ELEMENTARY CONCEPTS OF ASTRONOMY (Part -3) The concept of sidereal time The earth rotates around its axis in 24 hours, in what may be termed a mean solar day. In other words, the mean solar day is a function of earth's rotation in relation to the Sun. Considered with reference to any fixed star in the zodiac, the earth completes its one rotation in approximately 23 hours and 56 minutes (23 hours, 56 minutes, 4.09 seconds, to be precise). One rotation of the earth in relation to a fixed star is called a sidereal day. Said in another manner, a sidereal day is the time interval between two successive transits of a fixed star over the meridian of a place. A sidereal day is 3 minutes and 56 seconds (or roughly 4 minutes) shorter than the mean solar day. A sidereal day consists of 24 sidereal hours. Time reckoned according to this method is called the sidereal time .Since the sidereal time considers the angular rotation of the earth in relation to the fixed stars of the zodiac

74. Mathematics & Science Siddhanta Shiromani, a book in four parts (i) Lilavati on arithmetic, (ii) Bijaganitaon in Kerala which saw itself as a successor to the school of aryabhata. http://www.bsna.org/bzine-m/jan2k1/bvani-y2k/math-science.htm

Mathematics and Science in India by Subhash Kak Indian literature provides us with considerable layered evidence related to the development of science. The chronological time frame for this history is provided by the archaeological record which has been traced in an unbroken tradition to about 7000 BC. Prior to this we have records of rock paintings that are believed to be as old as 4000 BC. The earliest textual source is the Rig Veda which is a compilation of very early material. There are astronomical references in this and the other Vedic books which recall events in the third or the fourth millennium BC and earlier. The recent discovery that Sarasvati, the preeminent river of the Rig Vedic times, went dry around 1900 BC due to tectonic upheavals implies that the Rig Veda is to be dated prior to this epoch. According to traditional history, Rig Veda is prior to 3100 BC. Indian writing goes back to the beginning of the third millennium BC. The later historical script called Brahmi evolved out of this writing. The invention of the symbol for zero appears to have been made around 50 BC to 50 AD. Vedic Science Briefly, the Vedic texts present a tripartite and recursive world view. The universe is viewed as three regions of earth, space, and sky which in the human being are mirrored in the physical body, the breath (prana), and mind.

Historical Note 2 Greek Mathematics After the decline of Egyptian and Babylonian empire, the last centuries of the second millennium B.C. witnessed appearance of new civilization and new peoples, like, Hebrews, Assyrians, Phoenicians and Greeks. Important in Math. history in these peoples are Greeks. In Babylon, Egypt and in China, Mathematics is of experimental nature and used as tools for practical purposes, like, to build monumental buildings (like pyramid), to count number of soldiers (Chinese remainder theorem Chapter 5 page 218 of the text), and so on. For the first time, in Mathematics, Greeks started abstraction. Probably Egyptian knew Pythagorean theorem in practice (as tools for building their pyramids) but they never asked why the theorem has to be true. In other words, there are no evidence left from Egyptian civilization of a serious attempt to prove Mathematical facts experimentally known. The history of the first 300 years of Greek Mathematics is obscured by the very strong influence of Euclid's " Elements ", written about 300 B.C., because this book so completely described the Mathematical finding known at the time that earlier books and manuscript were discarded. Here is a list of Greek mathematicians, compiled from fragmented later sources, who are still known to us:

The Importance of Astronomical Ideas and Interpretation in Vedic (Hindu) Thought Vivek Sharma Astronomy: Prof. Longley Abstract: Modern astronomy was developed over time through ideas transferred and constructed by Greek and early European thought. This historical view exclusively delves on the premise that "western" scientific process is the correct one, or the one that should be exclusively studied. This is a simple side effect of the already existent bias in the scientific community towards the "west". The historical importance and development of scientific thought in the east, specially astronomy, is rarely mentioned. This paper deals with introducing some of the major ideas in cosmogony, cosmology and astronomy in the Vedic (Hindu Indian) society. There will also be a discussion of the importance of astronomy in a religious or spiritual context (using the Jantar Mantar observatory as an example).

80. Media-Satellite Television In India After aryabhata, India has successfully launched other satellites, the prominentones being the INSAT ( Indian National Satellite ) I and ii series of which I http://www.meadev.nic.in/media/cable.htm

Satellite Television in India The nation's first scientific satellite, Aryabhatta, was launched in 1975, which is still very much in operation. Aryabhata and the success of the country's space research programme is credited largely to the amazing vision of Dr. Vikram Sarabhai, the renowned pioneer of space development programmes. After Aryabhata, India has successfully launched other satellites, the prominent ones being the INSAT ( Indian National Satellite ) I and II series of which I - D, 2 - A and 2 - B are now in orbit, providing telecom, weather and mass communicational facilities. Satellites are used in three principal areas : a) telecommunications; b) meteorology, daily and hourly pictures of the earth to predict weather, and c) audio and video communication for finer and nearly foolproof radio transmission and TV pictures. The first Insat satellite, Insat - 1A, was launched in April, 1982, and within a few months television pictures were transmitted in colour. On August 15, 1982, Doordarshan could link all its transmitters in the national programme via the satellite. The astonishing advances made in the field of communication technology has broken national boundaries, and made transnational television a concrete reality. The cable network was very much in existence in many parts of the country by 1990 - 91, for satellite services to reach millions of Indian households. The BBC World Television Service began to be relayed in 1991, through the Satellite Television Asian Region ( Star ) network. From September 1991, Star's other services, Prime Sports ( now known as Star Sports ), Star Plus, and MTV were beamed in, and in October 1992, the Hong Kong - based network set up its Indian office in Delhi. The Hindi arm of Star, Zee TV was launched in October 1992, using a leased transponder of Star's Asiasat satellite. The Indian satellite services include Zee, ATN ( Asia Television Network ), Asianet and Jain TV, all of which employ foreign satellites.
