For those willing to learn await our new book "The Imperishable Seed: How Hindu Mathematics Changed the World" by IITK PhD @MeruPrastara.
Fibonacci, in his introduction, says he learned Indian mathematics from traders. He was simply transcribing.

"Fibonacci in his book Liber Abaci calls the system of calculations modus Indorum or method of the Indians."
No real mathematics developed in Europe till they copied Hindu Mathematics. Imagine calculus (which they also copied) with "Roman Numerals". Or advanced science. @chitraSD
Ha ha, someone "liked" a response I had made to it so it came in my notifications. I figured the new book will help Chitra ji and others.
The book shows that Leibniz, Newton and others copied as well. Or there was much earlier precedence in Sanskrit texts. C K Raju has problematized formal math that followed.
The point is that the history of the copying was erased and people the world over and non-European contributions were largely buried. It is time to tell the real story.
This one is already out by JNU PhD scholar @sabareeshpa.
