ITS IMPORTANT TO NOTE, THAT THE ORIGINAL QUOTE IS:

“The learned Brahmins of
Hindostan are the real inventors of algebra”

DUE TO SECURLISM AND "CASTISM" (self hate) APPEASEMENT, THE FOLLOWING QUOTE IS TOLD:

Indians were the
“real inventors of Algebra.”

I HAVE NO OBJECTION WITH EITHER....ALTHOUGH, WHEN QUOTING GREAT THINKERS/MINDS...SAY IT AS IT IS..NO NEED TO MINCE WORDS!

THE REASON WHY I HAVE CREATED TWO VERSIONS, MANY HINDU SITES PROMOTE THE DISTORTED VERSION: "INDIANS" AND WHEN SOMEONE SEARCHES FOR THE MISREPRESENTED VERSION (search engines), THEY WILL SOON DISCOVER THE CORRECT VERSION.

even today his 1928–29 History of Mathematical
Notations has been described as "unsurpassed." |
