Brahmagupta: Brahmagupta: Exploring the Mathematical Marvels of an Ancient Genius
Tietoa tästä e-kirjasta
Brahmagupta is generally recognized as the Indian astronomer and mathematician par excellence. He is well-known for his remarkable boldness and self-respect as much as for his insistence on observational verification and accuracy of results. There is no accurate information about the birth of Brahmagupta; but Brahmagupta himself states in his masterpiece; Brahma Sphuta Siddhanta that he compiled his great work in 628 AD; when he was thirty years old. This clearly shows that he was born in 598 AD.About the book
