Some constructions in the Mānava Śulvasūtra
Abstract
The Mānava Śulvasūtra, while less sophisticated than the other śulvasūtras, is seen to contain some mathematical ideas and constructions not found in the other śulvasūtras. Here we discuss some of these constructions and discuss their significance in the overall context of the śulvasūtra literature.
