David Bryant Mumford (1937) Eminent American mathematician
- David Bryant Mumford (1937) Eminent American mathematician wrote:
"Did you know that Vedic priests were using the so-called Pythagorean theorem to construct their fire altars in 800 BCE?;
that the differential equation for the sine function, infinite difference form,
was described by Indian mathematician-astronomers in the fifth century CE?; and that 'Gregory's'
series PI/4 = 1 -1/3+1/3-… was proven using the power series for arctangent and,
with ingenious summation methods, used to accurately compute PI in southwest India in the fourteenth century?"
