Abstract
I arrived at Lucknow in 1983. It was my first experience to go abroad. At that time, Prof. Kripa Shankar Shukla already had retired from the Department of Mathematics and Astronomy of Lucknow University, but sometimes came to the department. In the Department of Mathematics and Astronomy, Prof. A. N. Singh started a research centre of Hindu mathematics in 1939, and Prof. Shukla joined this project in 1941. Prof. Shukla took forward the monumental work History of Hindu Mathematics (Vol. 1, 1935; Vol. 2, 1938) of B. B. Datta and A. N. Singh, revised the draft of its subsequent parts left by Datta and Singh, and published them in the Indian Journal of History of Science (1980–1993).
