In Hinduism
Ganitashastra (Mathematics and Algebra)
Source: archive.org: Hindu MathematicsSaṃkalana (संकलन) or “making together” is another name for Saṃklita (“addition”) which represents one of the twenty operations (logistics) of pāṭīgaṇita (“science of calculation which requires the use of writing material—the board”), according to Pṛthudakasvāmī’s commentary on the Brāhmasphuṭasiddhānta by Brahmagupta, a Sanskrit treatise on ancient Indian mathematics (gaṇita-śāstra) and astronomy from the 7th century.—The Hindu name for addition is saṃkalita (‘made together’). Other equivalent terms commonly used are [e.g., saṃkalana (making together)] [...]. The word saṃkalita has been used by some writers in the general sense of the sum of a series.
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.
