HoMI's Young Scholars' Conference on the History of Mathematics, 17-18 April

finally, madhava, nilakantha et al, and the subtle art of kolam get much-deserved attention.

here's a link to the abstracts, well worth a few minutes of your time: https://docs.google.com/document/d/10VmnKVBnub2eoG7R2DMFGTJL3IqqZzpndobAdXaJxlk/edit?usp=sharing

Dear All,
As part of IIT Gandhinagar's History of Mathematics in India (HoMI) project, we are glad to announce a Young Scholars' Conference this Saturday 17th and Sunday 18th (forenoon only on both days). The schedule is attached.

In India, as you may know, history of science has almost no institutional base and support; hence our wish to encourage young scholars by offering them a platform.

Our eight speakers will deal with a variety of topics related to the history of mathematics and allied fields (such as astronomy). Do encourage them by attending some of their presentations and taking part in the discussions.
