Economy of India edits
Hi, The history sections in Economy of India are a summary of Economic history of India. So, I have reverted a para in Economy of India which was also present in the latter. Also, you need to use the preview and edit summaries. --Pamri • Talk 03:34, 5 December 2005 (UTC)
- I see you have added it again. Please see Talk:Economy_of_India#National_Income_estimates and understand that the history section in EoI is a summary and we cannot have all the information on a subject even if it is relevant. Feel free to add any such info to Economic history of India instead. Regards, --Pamri • Talk 03:36, 6 December 2005 (UTC)
Economic history of India
Hi, great work on India related articles!! It would be great if you can provide a reference for the following edit of yours - Another estimate of India's pre-colonial economy from an alternative source puts the revenue of Akbar's Mughal empire in 1600 at £17.5 million, in contrast to the entire treasury of Great Britain in 1800, which totalled £16 million. You may also want to look at WP:V. Regards, --Gurubrahma 04:35, 5 December 2005 (UTC)
- This statement also included in Economy of India, by Nichalp comes from Bombay Times. I have seen one estimate in Cambridge's Economic history of India series, but it was in florins. I guess the original estimate to have been made by Angus Madison. --Pamri • Talk 05:42, 5 December 2005 (UTC)
numbers
could you where you found the information that the Indus Valley people used negative integers? Could you also add a proper citation of the "Shanti mantra" (where I put a provisional "VS 40.x" according to the webpage you linked to) on Yajurveda? thanks, dab (ᛏ) 20:35, 5 December 2005 (UTC)
- That was an error on my part. I thought they used negative numbers based on the negative numbers article. It was in fact first used by Brahmagupta in the 7th century but earlier Chinese mathematicians had an idea of negative numbers. The citation for the "Shanti mantra" is already on the web page I linked to. I'm not sure what you mean. (User: Jagged 85, 09/12/2005)
- It would be a big help if you could provide references for the dates you give for Indian mathematical texts. Different sources give widely varying dates. Rick Norwood 02:24, 9 December 2005 (UTC)
- I've added some references regarding the dates of the Sulba Sutras in the Sulba Sutras page. Check it out for yourself if you wish to confirm the dates I've given. (User: Jagged 85, 09/12/2005)
"Arabic" numerals
Hi. You might want to contribute to the discussion at Talk:Arabic numerals regarding whether the article should be renamed "Hindu-Arabic numerals". Thanks. deeptrivia (talk) 22:12, 14 December 2005 (UTC)
Minor edits
Hi, just a little heads up that the minor edit checkbox in the article namespace is only to be used for really trivial changes like formatting and spelling. Thanks. Arvindn 06:24, 26 December 2005 (UTC)
