This treatise, written in 118 verses, gives in its second chapter a summary of Hindu mathematics up to that time. Two hundred years later, an Indian astronomer called Bhaskara glossed this mathematial chapter of the Aryabhatiya.\u003c\/p\u003e\n                                \n                \n                \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n                                \n                \n                \u003cp\u003eAn english translation of Bhaskara’s commentary and a mathematical supplement are presented in two volumes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n                                \n                \n                \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n                                \n                \n                \u003cp\u003eSubjects treated in Bhaskara’s commentary range from computing the volume of an equilateral tetrahedron to the interest on a loaned capital, from computations on series to an elaborate process to solve a Diophantine equation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n                                \n                \n                \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n                                \n                \n                \u003cp\u003eThis volume contains an introduction and the literal translation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n                                \n                \n                \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n                                \n                \n                \u003cp\u003eThe introduction aims at providing a general background for the translation and is divided in three sections: the first locates Bhaskara’s text, the second looks at its mathematical contents and the third section analyzes the relations of the commentary and the treatise.\u003c\/p\u003e\n                            \n            \u003cdiv class=\"aw-variant-hidden-subtitle-div\" id=\"aw-variant-subtitle-9783764372910\"\u003e\u003ch3\u003eA Translation of Bhāskara I on the Mathematical Chapter of the Āryabhatīya\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Autorenwelt Shop","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover - 9783764372910","offer_id":49592978014533,"sku":"9783764372910","price":106.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0940\/0622\/files\/096e3d0e-4851-434c-a344-8589d57ad931.jpg?v=1773295746","url":"https:\/\/shop.autorenwelt.de\/products\/expounding-the-mathematical-seed-vol-1-the-translation-von-agathe-keller","provider":"Autorenwelt Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
