This study surveys pivotal developments in India’s long history of astronomy and mathematics, from Vedic calendrics and altar geometry to classical siddhānta traditions and the proto calculus of the Kerala School. It traces how concepts such as positional notation with zero, algebraic algorithms, trigonometric tables, and infinite series emerged within distinctive intellectual milieus and later circulated to the Islamic world and Europe. The paper also foregrounds the philosophical frameworks that shaped Indian scientific inquiry and discusses recent efforts to reassess these traditions within global histories of science. The analysis integrates primary textual traditions and secondary scholarship to argue that Indian astronomy and mathematics were not merely computational or ritual adjuncts but sophisticated, theory laden enterprises that advanced durable ideas in the worldwide development of science.
