गणितसारसंग्रह (महावीराचार्य - प्रो. लक्ष्मीचन्द्र जैन सविस्तार हिन्दी अनुवाद सटीक)

FOREWORD
I have had the privilege of going through this edition of
Mahāvīrāchārya’s Gaṇitasāra-Saṁgraha, prepared with critical
annotations and an introduction by Prof. L. C. Jain of the
Department of Mathematics, Govt. Science College, Jabalpur, under
the general editorship of the renowned orientalists, Dr. A. N.
Upadhye and Dr. H. L. Jain.
Apart from the extreme care which the learned editor has
exercised in the choice of technical expressions and terminology in
Hindi throughout this edition, what struck me the most is his
sympathetic and erudite understanding of the highly intricate
inter-actions among various schools of mathematical thought
that must have gone into the making of a background for a classic
like the Gaṇitasāra-Saṁgraha. And this, I am sure, places the present
edition on a distinctly higher-than-ever-attained plane of excellence.
I hail the appearance of this work of Prof. L. C. Jain in the
world of learning.
