Alumbo Article - "Part.7" The ninth century saw mathematical progress with scholars such as Govindasvami,Mahavira, prthudakasvami, Sankara, and Sridhara. http://alumbo.com/article/10027-Part-7.html
Extractions: Mathematics however was in a different position. It was only a tool used for making astronomical calculations. If one could produce innovative mathematical ideas then one could exhibit the truths of astronomy more easily. The mathematics therefore had to lead to the same answers as had been reached before but it was certainly good if it could achieve these more easily or with greater clarity. This meant that despite mathematics only being used as a computational tool for astronomy, the brilliant Indian scholars were encouraged by their culture to put their genius into advances in this topic. A contemporary of Brahmagupta who headed the research centre at Ujjain was Bhaskara I who led the Asmaka school. This school would have the study of the works of Aryabhata as their main concern and certainly Bhaskara was commentator on the mathematics of Aryabhata. More than 100 years after Bhaskara lived the astronomer Lalla, another commentator on Aryabhata.
Extractions: Version for printing Prthudakasvami is best known for his work on solving equations. The solution of a first-degree indeterminate equation by a method called kuttaka (or "pulveriser") was given by Aryabhata I . This method of finding integer solutions resembles the continued fraction process and can also be seen as a use of the Euclidean algorithm. Brahmagupta seems to have used a method involving continued fractions to find integer solutions of an indeterminate equation of the type ax c by . Prthudakasvami's commentary on Brahmagupta 's work is helpful in showing how "algebra", that is the method of calculating with the unknown, was developing in India. Prthudakasvami discussed the kuttaka method which he renamed as "bijagnita" which means the method of calculating with unknown elements. To see just how this new idea of algebra was developing in India, we look at the notation which was being used by Prthudakasvami in his commentary on Brahmagupta 's Brahma Sputa Siddhanta.
Dream 2047 : VP News The word BijagaSita is found for the first time in the work (a commentary on theBSS) of prthudakasvami (860 AD). Brahmagupta calls algebra kuttkaganita or http://www.vigyanprasar.com/dream/oct2000/oct2000.htm
Extractions: VPNEWS PARTING THOUGHTS (II) To continue from where we left off last time, Vigyan Prasar can really make a difference to the overall science popularisation scene in the country! It has all the essential ingredients, in the form of major programmes/efforts, I mentioned last time, to transform itself into a powerhouse of incredible and unimaginable strengths capable of delivering unheard of results! Each one of the VP's major programmes referred to earlier, if handled appropriately, could develop into an independent, self-sustaining entity in its own right, under the overall VP umbrella, with greatly enhanced output. What would that mean in terms of the goals we are seeking to achieve? Vigyan Prasar books would also be distributed worldwide in many countries and also in many other non-Indian languages. Dream-2047 would develop into a very popular science magazine with a large circulation and several other language editions, besides Hindi and English. .
