MADHAVA MATHEMATICS COMPETITION
(A Mathematics Competition for Undergraduate Students)
The competition is named after Madhava, who introduced in the fourteenth century,
profound mathematical ideas that are now part of Calculus. His most famous achievements
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.
