Math is Sanskrit for retreat or monastery. Eg. Belur Math.


That Caravanserai is probably a reference to Timbuktu. (namely, the legendary Sankore University of Timbuktu)

Cartas does not sound like archimedes! Cartas to me sounded somewhat like St Benedict, in the sense that she was a regulator of monastical orders.


It is Metekoranes which sounded a lot like Archimedes, up to their death while absort on a mathematical problem.

I added Benedict as an analogue of Cartas, as he propounded the Rule of Benedict followed by the monastic tradition in medieval Europe, a close parallel to the Discipline of Cartas. Jubaal 23:38, January 24, 2011 (UTC)
