    The document discusses the "Golden Age" of Indian mathematics during the period between the 13th and 18th centuries. It notes that the mathematician Madhavan from Kerala, who lived in the 14th century, made discoveries in infinitesimal analysis that anticipated the later work of Western mathematicians like Newton and Leibniz. Madhavan developed infinite series expansions and broke through the finite barrier in mathematics, earning him the title of the "father of infinitesimal analysis." The document also provides biographical information about the mathematician Dr. S. Parameswaran, who helped bring this "Golden Age" of Indian mathematics to light through his own work.

    THE GOLDEN AGE OF INDIAN MATHEMATICS
    Till recently i1 was considered Ihal Indian mathematics remained barren during the period between Ihe thirteenth century and the eighteenth century. Now has come to light that it embalms the "Golden Age" of Indian mathematics. The earlier mathematicians were working on mathematics of the finite trigonometry, mensuration, algebra etc. Kerala, Ihe southern most pari of India produced a mathematician by name Madhavan (c. c.

    1340

    1 425), who broke the linile

    barrier and soaredlo Ihe infinite. The infiniteseries expansions he reaped anticipated the discoveries of mathematicians like James Gregory (1638- 1 675), Newton ( 1 642- 1727) and Leibnitz (1 646

    - 1716). In short, Madhavan deselVes 10 be called the lather of
