Until a few thousand years ago, and in some cases just up until a few hundred years ago, India was the only civilization which had already made important discoveries in mathematics, trigonometry, calculus, medicine, metallurgy etc. Hence all those terminologies were already part of Sanskrit. As the Arabic and European “civilizations” adopted the study of these sciences, the words evolved into their modern forms but it is well established that that knowledge has its root in India. The number of words in other languages which have originated from Sanskrit is vast.[1] [2]
