To write a biography of Baudhayana is essentially impossible since nothing is known of him except that he was the author of one of the earliest Sulbasutras. We do not know his dates accurately enough to even guess at a life span for him, which is why we have given the same approximate birth year as death year. He was neither a mathematician in the sense that we would understand it today, nor a scribe who simply copied manuscripts like Ahmes . He would certainly have been a man of very considerable learning but probably not interested in mathematics for its own sake, merely interested in using it for religious purposes. Undoubtedly he wrote the Sulbasutra to provide rules for religious rites and it would appear an almost certainty that Baudhayana himself would be a Vedic priest. The mathematics given in the Sulbasutras is there to enable the accurate construction of altars needed for sacrifices. It is clear from the writing that Baudhayana, as well as being a priest, must have been a skilled craftsman. He must have been himself skilled in the practical use of the mathematics he described as a craftsman who himself constructed sacrificial altars of the highest quality. The Sulbasutras are discussed in detail in the article Indian Sulbasutras . Below we give one or two details of Baudhayana's Sulbasutra, which contained three chapters, which is the oldest which we possess and, it would be fair to say, one of the two most important.

    Baudhayana
    From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.
    Baudhayana , (circa 800 BC ), was a Vedic Indian mathematician scribe . He is the author of one of the earliest and most important Sulbasutras, appendices to the Vedas giving rules for the construction of altars , called the Baudhayana Sulbasutra The Baudhayana Sulbasutra contains one of the earliest references to what is known today as the Pythagorean theorem
    The rope which is stretched across the diagonal of a square produces an area double the size of the original square.
    This is a special case of the Pythagorean theorem for a 45° right triangle The Katyayana Sulbasutra , written about 200 BC , gives a more general version of the theorem:
    The rope which is stretched along the length of the diagonal of a rectangle produces an area which the vertical and horizontal sides make together.
    In other words, the square of the hypotenuse equals the sum of the squares of the sides.

    THE KAUSHIKAs The kaushika (descendents of the influential kushika) include such intellectual giants as vishvAmitra and madhucchandasa. What is arguably the single most important verse in all the vedas - the gAyatri mantra- was composed by vishvAmitra. This set of lineages has kshatriya origins. vishvAmitra himself was a king of some importance during the vedic age. The accounts of his rivalry with vasishTha make up one of the great dramas in the vedas and the post-vedic literature. All the kaushika lineages have come down through vishvAmitra. The vaishvAmitras may be divided into 20 gotra-gaNas as shown below: NOTE: In the table below, the subdivisions of the kaushikas are listed. The name of the gotra is listed in the first column, and the corresponding pravara rshi set is in the second column. Since some of the pravara lineages are specific to the followers of certain sutras, the appropriate sutra is given in the third column. Wherever there are two or more sets of pravara rshis, it should be taken to mean that there are different lineages that correspond to a certain gotra. In general, the set of pravara rshis is a more accurate indicator of a person's descent, than simply the gotra itself. GOTRA PRAVARA RSHIs SUTRA vishvAmitra

    THE KASHYAPAs The kAshyapas (descendents of kashyapa) include such illustrious names like Shandila and Avatsara. The primal kashyapa himself is traditionally regarded as the person who established Kashmir in ancient times. The word "Kashmir" is a derivative of "kashyapa". The kAshyapas may be divided into 6 gotra-gaNas as shown below: NOTE: In the table below, the subdivisions of the kAshyapas are listed. The name of the gotra is listed in the first column, and the corresponding pravara rshi set is in the second column.

    Dedicated to Sri Chandrasekharendra Sarasvati who died in his hundredth year while this paper was being written. by David W. Henderson Department of Mathematics, Cornell University Ithaca, NY, 14853-7901, USA (e-mail: dwh2@cornell.edu) In this paper I will present a method for finding the numerical value of square roots that was inspired by the Sulbasutra which are Sanskrit texts written by the Vedic Hindu scholars before 600 B.C.. This method works for many numbers and will produce values to any desired degree of accuracy and is more efficient (in the sense of requiring less calculations for the same accuracy) than the divide-and-average method commonly taught today. Several Sanskrit texts collectively called the Sulbasutra were written by the Vedic Hindus starting before 600 B.C. and are thought to be compilations of oral wisdom which may go back to 2000 B.C. These texts have prescriptions for building fire altars, or Agni . However, contained in the Sulbasutra are sections which constitute a geometry textbook detailing the geometry necessary for designing and constructing the altars. As far as I have been able to determine these are the oldest geometry (or even mathematics) textbooks in existence. It is apparently the oldest applied geometry text. It was known in the Sulbasutra (for example, Sutra 52 of Baudhayana's
