Dear friend, Thank you for the kind feedback. Any good book on the history of mathematics should give a good account of the history of 'zero'. My own favourite book is by Peter Bernstein's "Against the Gods" which is a very good work on the history of Risk management using mathematical tools/techniques. Nothing in my piece on "shoonya" is really original. It is only reflection on ideas and thoughts that I have come across in other books including our ancient scriptures like the Sahasranamam. Glad you liked the piece. Thank you, regards, dAsan, Sudarshan --- "Sudarshan M.K." <sampathkumar_2000@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: > --- In Oppiliappan@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx, "balajee thiruppukkuzhi" > <teeyenbee@xxxx> wrote: > Dear Sri Sudharshan > > A colleague of mine in New Zealand had presented to me a book > titled "Zero" > by Charles Seife where a few of the references that you have given > in > this > brilliant article of yours appear. > > Little did I expect to receive a reference for Zero from Vishnu > Sahasranamam. > > Thanks for the beautiful work. > > Dasan > > Balajee Thiruppukkuzhi Narasimhan > > > > > > ------------------------ Yahoo!
