Chill dude. Nalanda wasn't that big of a deal in Mathematics, it was mostly philosophy and most of the books in Nalanda were there in China during its destruction! The Indian books are not there only because people stopped studying them, and focused more on astrology! All the books that have survived were not like 1000s of years ahead of Europe, they were at times only 100-200 years ahead! The Gurukul system focused on the transmission of knowledge from teacher to student and not amongst teachers. The caste system prevented almost everyone from gaining an education, unlike in Europe where even poor people could get an education through philanthropy. This is the reason why Indian Mathematics died, not because Nalanda was destroyed!

@nilusingh8617 ok so you have the survey? Please name me the survey for the internet to verify. I also want to check how many Dalits were allowed in this gurukuls.

@midorimashintaro2092 what utter rubbish. Dalits were not even allowed to teach. Like literally in Ramayana it is said that Shambhuk was killed by Ram because he was Shudra and was teaching, a profession only reserved for the Bramhins. Like what rubbish are you talking about.

@SpectreKritical name me a dalit mathematician from ancient india

@gasun1274 no dude. chill. Don't bring in your nationalistic talking points. I won't sympathise with you! There was never any continuous tradition of mathematics in India before Europeans came. So chill! No aeroplanes were present in India in the Vedic age. The discoveries we made in isolation, were almost during the same time Europeans made and were great ones. One shouldn't need western validation for the same! And trust me any decent Western Historian of Science knows about all the Indian achievements. Focus on the achievement and not who did it! This is the Indian philosophy!

Actually the ideas of series was well established in Kerela School Mathematics in the 13th century way before Euler started working on them, they should have also known about differentiation and integration but they didn't formalise it.
