Interesting facts about India that very few people know: 1. The name India is derived from river Indus (Indus valley civilization). 2. Place value system and decimal value system was developed in India 100 B.C. 3. Algebra, Trigonometry and calculus (invented by great mathematician Aaryabhat) were originated in India. Later Isaac Newton theft the concept of Calculus and patented it on his name and became father of calculus. 4. Zero was invented by Aaryabhat but it was used in ancient India even before Aaryabhat was born. 5. Aryabhatta gave a method to find the cube root of numbers and dealt with arithmetic, geometric and indeterminate equations in algebra. He dealt with square, cube, triangle, trapezium, circle and sphere in geometry. He was called Arjehir by the Arabs. 6. Calculus was written in Malayalam at least 200 years before Newton was born, by the Kerala school of Calculus. Calculus in Sanskrit was written 4800 years ago. 7. Bhaskaracharya rightly calculated the time taken by the earth to orbit the Sun hundreds of years before the Astronomer Smart did. According to Bhaskaracharya calculation, the time taken by the Earth to orbit the Sun was 365.258756484 days. 8. Quadratic Equations were first used by Sridharacharya long before anybody else. 9. Aayurveda, Yoga and Martial arts were originated in India. Later Martial arts was spread to China through a south Indian King who once visited to China. 10. Bodhayana was first to explain the concept of what is known as Pythagorus theorem today. Pythagorus theft this concept from Bodhayana sulba sutra that was written long ago in Sanskrit, when he visited India during 16th century. 11. Laws of gravity were clearly explained in Surya Sidhanta the great Sanskrit astronomical work written in the Vedic age. Later Isaac Newton theft during 16th century when he came to learn Sanskrit in India. 12. Laws of Motion was clearly explained as Vaiseshika Sutra by sage Kanad long before Isaac Newton was born, again he theft it, patented on his name and published in a book called Principia Mathemetica. 13. The VIBGYOR sunlight spectrum of Newton can still been seen in Indian temples made in BC, along with amazing pinhole cameras. These rainbow colors were given to the 7 Chakras of the human body as early as 9000 BC. 14. Isaac Newton stole the Newton- Gauss interpolation formula (to the second order) from the work of Govindaswami 930 AD, of the Kerala school of Mathematics. 15. The Gauss–Newton algorithm is a method used to solve non-linear least squares problems. Newton stole the Newton Gauss Backward Interpolation formula from the works of Vateswaracharya 880 AD. 16. Almost all of Newtons works were stolen from ancient Vedic Indian texts--all written down thousands of years before him in Sanskrit- Gravitation theory, Motion theory, Gauss interpolation formula, Power series, Infinite geometric progressions. 17. Aryabhattas version of the value of Pi in 2700 BC: चतुरधिकम् शतम् अष्टगुणम् द्वाषष्टि तथा सहस्राणाम् अयुत द्वय विष्कम्भस्य आसन्न: वृत्त परिणाह: Lets split the words and understand the meaning: चतुरधिकम् शतम् - Four more than hundred (=104) अष्टगुणम् - multiplied by 8 (104 x 8 = 832) द्वाषष्टि = 62 तथा सहस्राणाम् = of 1000 as such (=62000; totalling 62832) अयुत द्वय = 10,000 x 2 (=20,000) विष्कम्भस्य = of the diameter आसन्न: - approximately वृत्त परिणाह: - to the circumference. In effect, 62832/20000 = 3.1416 18. The largest numbers the Greeks and the Romans used were 106 whereas Vedic Indians used numbers as big as 10^53 (10 to the power of 53) with specific names as early as 5000 B.C. during the Vedic period. Even today, the largest used number is Tera: 10^12(10 to the power of 12). 19. Sushruta is regarded as the Father of Surgery.

More than 10,500 students from all over the world studied more than 60 subjects. The University of Nalanda built in the 4th century was one of the greatest achievements of ancient India in the field of education. 26.
