Ancient India
Today in Social Studies class I learned about India. The five topics Ms. Chan taught me for India is Science, Technology, Writing, Math, and Art. There were a lot of interesting things I didn’t know.
I will start off with Science. There are two different types of Science in India, first the Medical Science, and then the Astronomy Science. In the Medical Science the Indians created two hospitals, one for people, and the other for animals. They also conducted surgeries. These surgeries were performed at their houses. To be more detailed, the people who wanted surgeries would have to walk to the houses of the surgeons. Ophthalmology, meaning treatment for the eye, is one of the surgeries they perform.

This wasn’t its original name it first originated from the Indian Brahmi numerals. With this they believed in the concept of zero. Another fact is that Baudhayana created the Pythagorean Triples. This includes a formula: a² + b² = c². This formula describes the side lengths of a right triangle. The Indians made many other math topics such as Decimals, Algebra, and
