Hi: ’ve been contacted by Martin Gluckman m.gluckman@alumni.anu.edu.au<mailto:m.gluckman@alumni.anu.edu.au> and Daniel Grings daniel@vedicsociety.org<mailto:daniel@vedicsociety.org> who “are doing a project researching the link between Indian knowledge systems (grammar especially Panini, Logic called Nayaya and Indian mathematics) and the development of computation." They are "in the survey phase and looking for any people who have record of potential influence or links on Boole, Babbage and De Morgan and others." They would appreciate any insights into this topic, or suggestions as to key people.

Dear Dr. Randell, We are doing a project researching the link between Indian knowledge systems (grammer especially Panini, Logic called Nayaya and Indian mathematics) and the development of computation. We are in the survey phase and looking for any people who have record of potential influence or links on Boole, Babbage and De Morgan and others. If you have any insights or key people please do let me know. With warmest wishes, Martin
