how Mahāvīrācharya could attain such a close approximation
without the help of the powerful tools available to us
Chapter IX treats the so called "Shadow Problems."
Raobahadur Raṅgāchārya's edition of Gaṇitasāra-Saṁgraha with
English translation has been out of print for over thirty five years.
Thanks to the zeal and labours of Prof. L. C. Jain, the present
edition with Hindi translation goes some way to meet a long felt
need. It is, however, felt that a new edition with English translation
by an experienced Mathematician who knows Sanskrit well is an
urgent need.
The writer is thankful to his learned friends Dr. Hiralalji
Jain and Dr. A. N. Upadhye for assigning to him the pleasant task
of writing this foreword.
