జ్యేష్టదేవుడు (మలయాళం: ജ്യേഷ്ഠദേവന്‍) (c. 1500 – c. 1610) సంగమగ్రామ మాధవ (c.1350 – c.1425) స్థాపించిన "కేరళ గణిత మరియు ఖగోళ శాస్త్ర పాఠశాల"లో ఖగోళ మరియు గణిత శాస్త్రవేత్త. ఈయన ఉత్తమ గ్రంథం అయిన యుక్తిభాస యొక్క రచయిత. ఈ గ్రంథం నీలకంఠ సోమయాజి (1444-1544) రచించిన "తరణ సంగ్రహం"యొక్క మలయాళంలో ఒక వ్యాఖ్యానం. ఆ సమయంలో సంప్రదాయ భారతీయ గణిత శాస్త్రజ్ఞులుకు ఒక అసాధారణమైన గ్రంథం. గణిత శాస్త్రంలో యుక్తిభాస పై విషయ విశ్లేషణను కొంతమంది పరిశోధకులు "కలన గణితం యొక్క మొదటి పాఠ్యపుస్తకం"గా ప్రోత్సహించారు. జ్యేష్టదేవుడు ఖగోళ శాస్త్ర పరిశీలనా గ్రంథం Drk-karanaను రచించాడు.

జ్యేష్టదేవ యొక్క జీవిత కాలం

There are a few references to Jyeṣṭhadeva scattered across several old manuscripts. From these manuscripts, one can deduce a few bare facts about the life of Jyeṣṭhadeva. He was a Namputiri belonging to the Parangngottu family (Sanskrtised as Parakroda) born about the year 1500 CE. He was a pupil of Damodara and a younger contemporary of Nilakantha Somayaji. Achyuta Pisharati was a pupil of Jyeṣṭhadeva. In the concluding verse of his work titled Uparagakriyakrama, completed in 1592, Achyuta Pisharati has referred to Jyeṣṭhadeva as his aged benign teacher. From a few references in Drkkarana, a work believed to be of Jyeṣṭhadeva, one may conclude that Jyeṣṭhadeva lived up to about 1610 CE.

Parangngottu, the family house of Jyeṣṭhadeva, still exists in the vicinity of Trikkandiyur and Alathiyur. There are also several legends connected with members of Parangngottu family.

గణిత వంశం

Little is known about the mathematical traditions in Kerala prior to Sangamagrama Madhava. Vatasseri Paramesvara was a direct disciple of Madhava. Damodara was a son of Paramesvara. Nilakantha Somayaji and Jyeshthadeva were pupils of Damodara. Jyeṣṭhadeva's pupil was Achyuta Pisharati and Melpathur Narayana Bhattathiri was Achyuta Pisharati's student.

రచనలు

Main articles : Yuktibhāṣā, Ganita-yukti-bhasa

Jyeṣṭhadeva is known to have composed only two works, namely, Yuktibhāṣā and Drkkarana. The former is commentary with rationales of Tantrasamgraha of Nilakantha Somayaji and the latter is a treatise on astronomical computations.

Three factors make Yuktibhāṣā unique in the history of the development of mathematical thinking in the Indian subcontinent:

• It is composed in the spoken language of the local people, namely, the Malayalam language. This is in contrast to the centuries old Indian tradition of composing scholarly works in the Sanskrit language which was the language of the learned.
• The work is in prose, again in contrast to the prevailing style of writing even technical manuals in verse. All the other notable works of the Kerala school are in verse.
• Most importantly, Yuktibhāṣā was composed intentionally as a manual of proofs. The very purpose of writing the book was to record in full detail the rationales of the various results discovered by mathematicians-astronomers of the Kerala school, especially of Nilakantha Somayaji. This book is proof enough to establish that the concept of proof was not unknown to Indian mathematical traditions.
