Jonathan J. Crabtree: The role Bharatiya Ancient Indian Maths plays for the well-being of the Earth

In 1968 at age seven, Jonathan J. Crabtree noticed a 398-year-old problem with his teacher’s explanation of mathematics. India’s zero was missing from England’s 1570 definition of multiplication. Having been perplexed by this and other maths education errors during his school years, at age 21 Crabtree found himself in a hospital facing bleak news. If he moved, he might never walk again! With both his dreams and spine shattered, he prayed for a miracle and promised to fix maths if he ever walked again. Today, elementary maths historian and http://www.podometic.in founder Jonathan J. Crabtree is a guest lecturer at schools, universities and mathematics conferences. Having reviewed writings in Latin, Greek, Arabic, Sanskrit and other languages, his provocative presentations reveal how the foundations of Bharatiya (Ancient Indian) mathematics are vastly superior to many western ideas taught today. Introduction and discussion with Dr Lalit Sodha. Invitation to speak organised by Nil Kumar from http://www.healingourearth.com
