Abstract
The use of Mathematics, in human lives, can be found in diffe rent ways. There is a great impact of Mathematical contribution, the history and the study of Mathematics. That is to say, the study and analysis of Mathematical contribution provides endurance for Mathematics. Basically from the Lichchhavi period there begins the historical evidence of mathematicians in the nation. In the article, we explore and discuss mathematical contributions of Nepalese mathematicians and analyze content of different mathematics books written in the Shah and Rana Era (1742 - 1951).
