Appendix: capacity- building and organisational learning project for development finance in India. Glossary. Bibliography. Index. "Micro-finance is fast growing as a major development strategy and international industry. It seems to provide a practical workable tool to address the deep-seated challenges of poverty.But can it really fulfill this promise? All too often the development goals of micro-finance are lost, either behind technical and managerial solutions in pursuit of financial sustainability, or behind a narrow focus on the poorest. "This book analyses Indian micro-finance in depth to explore how development can be put back into micro-finance. It sets out 390 pp. …

Hardcover. Zustand: As New. Karanapaddhati of Putumana Somayaji is an important text of the Kerala School of astronomy and mathematics, probably composed in the 16th century. In the Indian astronomical tradition, the karana texts are essentially computational manuals and they often display a high level of ingenuity in coming up with simplified algorithms for computing planetary longitudes and other related quantities. Karanapaddhati, however, is not a karana text. Rather, it discusses the paddhati or the rationale for arriving at suitable algorithms that are needed while preparing a karana text for a given epoch. Thus the work is addressed not to the almanac maker but to the manual maker. Karanapaddhati presents the theoretical basis for the vakya system, where the true longitudes of the planet are calculated directly by making use of certain auxiliary notions such as the khanda, mandala and dhruva along with tabulated values of changes in the true longitude over certain regular intervals which are expressed in the form vakyas or mnemonic phrases. The text also discusses the method of vallyupasamhara which is essentially a technique of continued fraction expansion for obtaining optimal approximations to the rates of motion of planets and their anomalies, involving ratios of smaller numbers. It also presents a new fast convergent series for π which is not mentioned in the earlier works of the Kerala School. As this is a unique text presenting the rationale behind the vakya system and the computational procedures used in the karana texts, it would serve as a useful companion for all those interested in the history of astronomy. The authors have provided a translation of the text followed by detailed notes which explain all the computational procedures, along with their rationale, by means of diagrams and equations.…

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - The Tantrasangraha, composed by the renowned Kerala astronomer Nilakantha Somayaji (c. 1444 1545 AD), ranks along with the Aryabha iya of Aryabha a and the Siddhantasiromani of Bhaskaracarya 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. Nilakan ha 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 Tantrasangraha 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.…
