Dear Colleagues,

I am pleased to inform you that the Indian Society for History of Mathematics will be

The event will  commemorate the 900 th anniversary of Bhaskaracharya. The theme will be broad-based, covering a broad range of topics in history of mathematics of various cultures from the world. There will also be a session dedicated to the works of Bhaskaracharya.

Prof. S.A. Katre from the Department of Mathematics, University of Pune, will be the Convener.

On behalf of the organizers I am pleased to invite you to participate and contribute to the success of the conference. I trust you will plan on coming for the confernce. Please do let me have your inputs, and suggestions regarding the conference. Kindly keep in touch so that we could let you know more as the arrangements take shape.

I may mention that there is also a tentative plan to hold a short workshop in Mumbai preceding the Pune event. I will write to you again in this respect.

I keenly look forward to your participation. Kindly also forward the information about the conference to others around you who may be interested, with a copy to bhaskaratwo@gmail.com (so that we could follow it up from there).
