MADHAVA MATHEMATICS COMPETITION
(A Mathematics Competition for Undergraduate Students)
Madhav Mathematics Competition: The competition is named after Madhava, who introduced in the fourteenth century, profound mathematical ideas that are now part of Calculus. His most famous achivements include the Madhava – Leibnitz series for π, the Madhava – Newton power series for sine and Cosine functions and a numerical value of π that is accurate to eleven decimal places. The “Madhava School”, consisting of a long chain of teachers-students continuity, flourished for well over two centuries, making significant contributions to mathematics and astronomy.
