In Hinduism
Ganitashastra (Mathematics and Algebra)
Source: archive.org: Hindu MathematicsSamaśodhana (समशोधन) or simply Śodhana refers to the “(complete) clearance of equations”, according to the principles of Bījagaṇita (“algebra” or ‘science of calculation’), according to Gaṇita-śāstra, ancient Indian mathematics and astronomy.—After an equation (samīkaraṇa or samīkāra) is formed, writing it down for further operations is technically called nyāsa (putting down, statement) of the equation. In the Bakhshali treatise the two sides of an equation are put down one after the other in the same line without any sign of equality being interposed. [...] The operation to be performed on an equation next to its statement (nyāsa) is technically known as samaśodhana (from sama, meaning equal or complete, and śodhana, clearance; hence literally meaning, equi-clearance or complete clearance) or simply śodhana. The nature of this clearance varies according to the kind of the equation.
Ganita (गणित) or Ganitashastra refers to the ancient Indian science of mathematics, algebra, number theory, arithmetic, etc. Closely allied with astronomy, both were commonly taught and studied in universities, even since the 1st millennium BCE. Ganita-shastra also includes ritualistic math-books such as the Shulba-sutras.

Sanskrit, also spelled संस्कृतम् (saṃskṛtam), is an ancient language of India commonly seen as the grandmother of the Indo-European language family (even English!). Closely allied with Prakrit and Pali, Sanskrit is more exhaustive in both grammar and terms and has the most extensive collection of literature in the world, greatly surpassing its sister-languages Greek and Latin.
