text:
Pātīgaṇita is the term used in pre-modern Indian mathematical literature to denote the area of mathematics dealing with arithmetic and mensuration. The term is a compound word formed by combining the words pātī and gaṇita. The former is a non-Sanskrit word meaning a "board" and the latter is a Sanskrit word meaning "science of calculation". Thus the term pātīgaṇita literally means the science of calculations which requires a board for performing the calculations, or "board-computation" in short.
