“It is India that gave us the ingenious method of expressing all numbers by ten symbols, each receiving a value of position as well as an absolute value, a profound and important idea which appears so simple to us now that we ignore its true merit. But its very simplicity, the great ease which it has lent to all computations, puts our arithmetic in the first rank of useful inventions, and we shall appreciate the grandeur of this achievement the more when we remember that it escaped the genius of Archimedes and Appollnius, two of the greatest men produced by antiquity.”

~Pierre Simon de Laplace, French mathematician, philosopher, and astronomer

“Whenever I have read any part of the Vedas, I haveThoreau

of the Great Knowledge.”

another age and climate had pondered and thus disposed of the questions that exercise us.”

~ Ralph Waldo Emerson Eminent American Thinker
