KATTRAI II
Lilavati is the daughter of Bhaskara – II, a famous mathematician of ancient India during 12th Century. He is not only a famous Mathematician, but also an excellent Astronomer, and a Scientist (1114-1185 A.D.). Bhaskara – II is also called as Bhaskaracharya or Bhaskara. Bhaskara was the leading mathematician of 12th century, who wrote the first work with full and systematic use of the decimal number system. Bhaskara - II became head of the astronomical observatory at Ujjain, which was the leading mathematical centre of ancient India of that time. As an astronomer Bhaskara wrote about planetary positions and eclipses. In his mathematical works, particularly, Lilavati (“The Beautifiul”) (arithmetic) and Bijaganita (“seed counting”) (algebra), he not only used the decimal system but also compiled earlier problems from Brahmagupta and others. Bhaskara - II anticipated the modern convention of signs [(-),+ ] and evidently was the first to gain some understanding of the meaning of division by zero. Bhaskara - II mentioned in his Beejaganitha that, ∞ ±k= ∞. Bhaskara’s notable work is Siddhantasiromani (“Head Jewel of Accuracy”) He wrote siddhanta Shiromani at the age of 36 in 1150 A.D., and this work (consisting of about 1450 verses) has divided into four parts: Lilatvati (ARITHMETIC) has 278 verses. Bijaganit (ALGEBRA) has 213 verses. Goladhyaya (sphere/celestial globe) has 451 verses, and Grahaganit (mathematics of the planets) has 501 verses. The first part Lilavati contains simple problems of Arithmetic. In this conference, we wish to discuss two simple problems of Arithmetic from Siddanta Siromani. One problem related to quadratic equation and another p
