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.

    8 IV. Mathematics over the next 400 years (700AD-1100AD)
    Mahavira (or Mahaviracharya), a Jain by religion, is the most celebrated Indian mathematician of the 9 th century. His major work Ganitasar Sangraha was written around 850 AD and is considered 'brilliant'. It was widely known in the South of India and written in Sanskrit due to his Jaina 'faith'. In the 11 th century its influence was still being felt when it was translated into Telegu (a regional language of the south). Mahavira was aware of the works of Jaina mathematicians and also the works of Aryabhata (and commentators) and Brahmagupta , and refined and improved much of their work. What makes Mahavira unique is that he was not an astronomer, his work was confined solely to mathematics and he stands almost entirely alone in the history of Indian mathematics (at least up to the 14 th century) in this respect. He was a member of the mathematical school at Mysore in the south of India and his major contributions to mathematics include: Arithmetic:
    GSS was the first text on arithmetic in the present form. He made the classification of arithmetical operators simpler. Detailed operations with fractions (and unit fractions), but no section on decimals (which were not an Indian invention).

    Brahmagupta was born in 598 AD, possibly in Ujjain (possibly a native of Sind) and was the most influential and celebrated mathematician of the Ujjain school.
    It is important here to note that one must not ignore contributions made by Varahamihira , who was an influential figure at the same Ujjain school during the 6 th century. He is thought to have lived from 505 AD till 587 AD and made only fairly small contributions to the field of mathematics, he is described by Ifrah as:
    ...One of the most famous astrologers in Indian history. [EFR/JJO'C18, P 1] However he increased the stature of the Ujjain school while working there, a legacy that was to last for a long period, and although his contributions to mathematics were small they were of some importance. They included several trigonometric formulas, improvement of Aryabhata 's sine tables, and derivation of the

    An overview of Indian mathematics
    Ancient Indian Mathematics index History Topics Index
    It is without doubt that mathematics today owes a huge debt to the outstanding contributions made by Indian mathematicians over many hundreds of years. What is quite surprising is that there has been a reluctance to recognise this and one has to conclude that many famous historians of mathematics found what they expected to find, or perhaps even what they hoped to find, rather than to realise what was so clear in front of them. We shall examine the contributions of Indian mathematics in this article, but before looking at this contribution in more detail we should say clearly that the "huge debt" is the beautiful number system invented by the Indians on which much of mathematical development has rested. Laplace put this with great clarity:- The ingenious method of expressing every possible number using a set of ten symbols each symbol having a place value and an absolute value emerged in India. The idea seems so simple nowadays that its significance and profound importance is no longer appreciated. Its simplicity lies in the way it facilitated calculation and placed arithmetic foremost amongst useful inventions. the importance of this invention is more readily appreciated when one considers that it was beyond the two greatest men of Antiquity, Archimedes and Apollonius We shall look briefly at the Indian development of the place-value decimal system of numbers later in this article and in somewhat more detail in the separate article

    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. .
