A blogger who works for Britannica said the section on the mathematician seems "cribbed" from one of the external links [1]. Unfortunately, the link doesn't seem to be working right now, so I can't evaluate that myself. --Michael Snow 22:21, 27 July 2005 (UTC)

[edit] shouldn't this be two articles?

Generally biographies are not combined into a single article just because their subjects share a name. Perhaps Madhava (deity) and Madhava (mathematician) ?

On an unrelated note, the claim about Madhava being considered "the father of mathematical analysis" seems unlikely to me. You aren't the "father" of a subject just because you think of it first (even if Madhava did, a point on which I have no indepedent knowledge). There has to be some follow-up. --Trovatore 21:32, 22 September 2005 (UTC)
