商品描述
The Tantrasaṅgraha, composed by the renowned Kerala astronomer Nīlakantha Somayājī (c. 1444-1545 AD), ranks along with the Āryabhaṭīya of Āryabhaṭa and the Siddhāntaśiromaṇi of Bhāskarācārya as one of the major works which significantly influenced further work on astronomy in India. One of the distinguishing features of this book is the introduction of a major revision of the traditional Indian planetary model. Nīlakaṇṭha arrived at a unified theory of planetary latitudes and a better formulation of the equation of centre for the interior planets (Mercury and Venus) than was previously available.
In preparing the translation and explanatory notes, the authors have used authentic Sanskrit editions of the Tantrasaṅgraha by Surand Kunjan Pillai and K. V. Sarma. All verses have been translated into English, which have been supplemented with detailed explanations including all necessary mathematical relations, illustrative examples, figures and tables by using modern mathematical notation. The book includes a glossary of frequently occurring Sanskrit terms and several appendices that serve to clarify many concepts relevant to the topics discussed in the main text.
商品描述(中文翻譯)
《Tantrasaṅgraha》是由著名的喀拉拉邦天文學家尼拉坎塔·索馬雅吉（約1444-1545年）所撰寫，與《Āryabhaṭīya》的Āryabhaṭa和《Siddhāntaśiromaṇi》的巴斯卡拉查里亞並列，為影響印度天文學後續發展的重要著作之一。這本書的一個顯著特點是對傳統印度行星模型進行了重大修訂。尼拉坎塔提出了一個統一的行星緯度理論，並對內行星（水星和金星）的中心方程進行了比以往更好的表述。
在準備翻譯和解釋註釋時，作者使用了Surand Kunjan Pillai和K. V. Sarma的《Tantrasaṅgraha》正本梵文版本。所有詩句均已翻譯成英文，並附上詳細的解釋，包括所有必要的數學關係、示例、圖形和表格，使用現代數學符號。該書還包括一個常見梵文術語的詞彙表和幾個附錄，以澄清與主文本中討論的主題相關的許多概念。
