Ancient Indian Mathematics

maths and magic:

Unpacking my 22 cubic metres of accumulated possessions and research materials, and squeezing the contents into my new Sydney residence is a tough job. I've spent 48 hours so far, and by this afternoon I was getting a bit 'stir-crazy' (or the unpacking equivalent).

It was really time for a break, so I took to cyber relaxation. I keyed in the words 'Kurma dasa" on Google search, and started browsing the 150,400 items.

After a few hundred links (yawn) I struck gold, falling upon a book review of 'Cooking with Kurma' on a fascinating website on Ancient Indian (Vedic) Mathematics.
