Who were the Vedic women innovators on mathematics and/or sciences?

 The Vedic period in ancient India was a time of great intellectual and cultural development, and it is believed that women played a significant role in these advancements. However, due to the lack of written records from this time, it is difficult to identify specific women who made contributions to mathematics and sciences.

Nonetheless, there are a few notable examples of women who are believed to have made important contributions in these fields during the Vedic period.

One such example is Gargi Vachaknavi, a philosopher and scholar who lived during the 6th century BCE. She was known for her expertise in Vedic hymns and philosophy and is believed to have made contributions to the field of mathematics as well. Gargi is also known for her debates with the philosopher Yajnavalkya, in which she challenged his ideas and demonstrated her own intellectual prowess.

Another example is Lopamudra, a female sage who is mentioned in the Rigveda. She is believed to have been a skilled mathematician and astronomer, and is credited with developing various methods for calculating astronomical phenomena such as eclipses.

While the contributions of Vedic women to mathematics and sciences may be difficult to trace, there is ample evidence to suggest that they played a significant role in the intellectual and cultural development of ancient India.
