Hardcover. Condition: New. 173 ills (illustrator). Tantrasangraha composed by the renowned Kerala astronomer Nilakantha Somayaji c 1444?1545 CE ranks along with Aryabhatiya of Aryabhata and Siddhantasiromani of Bhaskaracarya as one of the major works that significantly influenced further work on astronomy in India One of the distinguishing features of this text is the introduction of a major revision of the traditional planetary models which includes a unified theory of planetary latitudes and a better formulation of the equation of centre for the interior planets Mercury and Venus than was previously availableSeveral important innovations in mathematical technique are also to be found in Tantrasangraha especially related to the computation of accurate sine tables the use of series for evaluating the sine and cosine functions and a systematic treatment of the problems related to the diurnal motion of the celestial objects The spherical trigonometry relations presented in the text applied to a variety of problems such as the computation eclipses elevation of the moon?s cusps and so forth are also exactIn preparing the translation and explanatory notes the authors have used authentic Sanskrit editions of Tantrasangraha by Suranad Kunjan Pillai and K V Sarma The text consists of eight chapters mean longitudes true longitudes gnomonic shadow lunar eclipse solar eclipse vyatipata reduction to observation and elevation of the moon?s cusps and 432 verses All the verses have been translated into English and are supplemented with detailed explanations including all mathematical relations figures and tables using modern mathematical notationThis edition of Tantrasangraha will appeal to historians of astronomy as well as those who are keen to know about the actual computational procedures employed in Indian astronomy It is a self-contained text with several appendices included enabling the reader to comprehend the subject matter without the need for further research 642 pp.

Hardcover. Condition: As New. Karanapaddhati of Putumana Somayaji is an important text of the Kerala School of astronomy and mathematics, probably composed in the 16th century. In the Indian astronomical tradition, the karana texts are essentially computational manuals and they often display a high level of ingenuity in coming up with simplified algorithms for computing planetary longitudes and other related quantities. Karanapaddhati, however, is not a karana text. Rather, it discusses the paddhati or the rationale for arriving at suitable algorithms that are needed while preparing a karana text for a given epoch. Thus the work is addressed not to the almanac maker but to the manual maker. Karanapaddhati presents the theoretical basis for the vakya system, where the true longitudes of the planet are calculated directly by making use of certain auxiliary notions such as the khanda, mandala and dhruva along with tabulated values of changes in the true longitude over certain regular intervals which are expressed in the form vakyas or mnemonic phrases. The text also discusses the method of vallyupasamhara which is essentially a technique of continued fraction expansion for obtaining optimal approximations to the rates of motion of planets and their anomalies, involving ratios of smaller numbers. It also presents a new fast convergent series for π which is not mentioned in the earlier works of the Kerala School. As this is a unique text presenting the rationale behind the vakya system and the computational procedures used in the karana texts, it would serve as a useful companion for all those interested in the history of astronomy. The authors have provided a translation of the text followed by detailed notes which explain all the computational procedures, along with their rationale, by means of diagrams and equations.
