Mathematical books for and in India in the nineteenth century

Abstract

This paper investigates mathematical books published in England especially for India, and books translated in India, in the nineteenth century. The survey has been carried out at the Oriental and India Office of the British Library and does not claim to be exhaustive. I have discussed the contents of those written in Hindi and have listed those in other languages for others to translate if they wish.

Notes
