Bharatiya Ganita: Indeterminate Equations, from Kuttaka to Varga Prakr̥ti

Bharat’s mathematical tradition flows as an unbroken Gaṇita‑Gaṅgā—from Vedic seers to Ramanujan. This module examines first‑ and second‑degree indeterminate equations.

NEP‑aligned 13 lectures · 20 learning hours Intermediate Mathematics

Bharat has treated mathematics as a core discipline since the Vedic era. Eminent scholars nourished this continuum, ensuring an unbroken Gaṇita‑Gaṅgā.

कुट्टक (Kuttaka)

First‑degree indeterminate equations—from kutta, “to pulverize”—solved via Aryabhata’s method.

वर्ग प्रकृती (Varga Prakr̥ti)

Second‑degree (quadratic) indeterminate equations with sophisticated integer solutions.
