As the “crest of peacock and diamond on snake's head are situated as crown, so is the place of Mathematics in all the shastras, bestowed as crown.”(As per one Sanskrit subhashit )
Long ago our ancient seers had already realized, that if there is any subject in possible knowledge, and if it can be certain then it is only mathematics, none else; therefore they put forth the above mentioned statement, crowning mathematics as crown of all knowledge. And it is true also as is there anything in real life where mathematics is not applied? In all transaction that is related to wordly, Vedic or other similar religious affairs, calculation is of use. In the science of wealth, in music and in drama, in art of cooking, in medicine, in architecture, in prosody, in poetics and poetry, in logic and in grammar and such other things, and in relation to all that constitutes the peculiar value of arts, the science of calculation (ganitam) is held in high esteem. In relation to movement of heavenly bodies, in connection with Triprashana (direction, position and time) and the cause of the moon indeed in all this is utilized. . . What is good of saying much? What ever there is in all the three worlds which are possessed of moving and non-moving beings, cannot exists as apart from ganitam.2
Though this subject is of such prime importance, yet the reality is that maximum people run away from maths.3 Simple reason is that it is exorbitant and day by day it is becoming complicated, creating phobia over human mind. But it was not so in ancient days and so everyone uses to enjoy mathematics.
