This is something which is known, but much more has been done in Sulbasutras which is not well known. So the earliest text that we have with us to demonstrate that Indians have been excelling in Geometry, Arithmetic, as well as Algebra is Sulbasutras. Where does these Sulbasutras come in the corpus of Vedic knowledge? So let me just tell you, so we have a very interesting passage in Mundaka Upanishad.
