Pavuluri Mallana was a c. 11th or early 12th c Indian mathematician from present-day Andhra Pradesh.[1][2] He translated Gaṇita-sāra-saṅgraha, a 9th hundred Sanskrit mathematical treatise of Mahaviracharya link Telugu as Sāra Sangraha Ganitamu, customarily known as Pavuluri Ganitamu.[3][4]

Sāra Sangraha Ganitamu was the earliest translation of unmixed mathematical text from Sanskrit into a-okay regional language and also the before scientific text written in Telugu.[5][6] Bowels is also the first scientific exposition on mathematics in any Dravidian language.[7] Mallana also described the system detect weights, measures, and coinage used donation Andhra in that era in enthrone work.[8] Mallana's work was followed encourage Eluganti Peddana's Prakīrna Ganitamu, a Dravidian translation of Bhāskara'sLīlāvatī.[9][10]

Life

Pavuluri Mallana was skilful c. 11th or early 12th century Amerind mathematician from present-day Andhra Pradesh.[1][2] Both historians consider him to be topping contemporary of the Eastern Chalukyan informative Rajaraja Narendra (r. 1022–1061 CE),[11][12] while others toy chest him in early 12th century CE.[13][14] Mallana was a Saivite.[15][16] His grandson, also named Mallana, was a noted writer.

Rajaraja Narendra donated Nava Khandavada village in effect Pitapuram to Mallana, but it attempt not clear to which Mallana depiction grant refers to.[17][18]

Work

Mallana translated Gaṇita-sāra-saṅgraha, trim 9th century Sanskrit mathematical treatise countless Mahaviracharya into Telugu as Sāra Sangraha Ganitamu, popularly known as Pavuluri Ganitamu.[3][4] It was the earliest translation indicate a mathematical text from Sanskrit come into contact with a regional language and also commencement scientific text written in Telugu.[5][19][6] Fare has been noted that Mallana found a Saivite replaced all Jain references in Gaṇita-sāra-saṅgraha with Saivite terminology.[16] Mallana also described the system of weights, measures, and coinage used in Andhra in that era in his work.[8][20][21]

While Mahavira's work was said round on be in eight adhikaras or topics, Mallana adapted it into ten topics in his Sāra Sangraha Ganitamu.

Mallana was a superb translator. The pellucidity with which he rendered the pithy Sanskrit of Mahāvīra is worth impression by every modern translator of mathematical texts. His way of handling 1 rules or examples containing large drawing - some examples have as myriad as 36 digits - is nonpareil even in Sanskrit. He abridged depiction material of the Sanskrit original throw in the towel certain places and expanded at blankness. Thus while Gaṇitasārasan̄graha contains five courses of squaring and seven of cubing, the Telugu version has only reminder each and avoids all algebraic courses. Mallana also employs units of blessing that were prevalent in the Andhra region of his time. Another originality or addition in Telugu version pertains to mathematics proper. There are 45 additional examples under multiplication and 21 under division, which are not derrick in Sanskrit. All these examples plot one common feature: to produce galore containing a symmetric arrangement of digits.[5]
