Original article title:
The journal “History of Science in South Asia� (HSSA) publishes high-quality research on the history of science, focusing on South Asia but also welcoming studies on broader cultural influences. It adopts a broad definition of “science� and encourages theoretical discussions and offers open access. Although initially supported by the Sayahna Foundation, it is now aided by the University of Alberta and Érudit.

Summary of article contents:

The purpose of this paper is to review the general organization of knowledge in the °­°ù¾±²âÄå°ì°ù²¹³¾²¹°ì²¹°ùÄ«, a sixteenth-century treatise of Kerala mathematics. Specifically, I will argue that the authors' interest in justification or proof is integrative, rather than hierarchical or cumulative. In other words, the purpose of proofs in the °­°ù¾±²âÄå°ì°ù²¹³¾²¹°ì²¹°ùÄ« is to connect various different aspects of mathematics, rather than just establish results by means of previously known results.
