Produktbeschreibung

In the 5^th century, the Indian mathematician Aryabhata wrote a small but famous work on astronomy in 118 verses called the Aryabhatiya. Its second chapter gives a summary of Hindu mathematics up to that point, and 200 years later, the Indian astronomer Bhaskara glossed that chapter. This volume is a literal English translation of Bhaskara's commentary complete with an introduction.

Rezensionen

"This magnum opus is truly a tour de force; the reviewer quickly runs out of superlatives as he peruses the two volumes of today's source on some of the truly great works and contributions of the famous Indian mathematician and astronomer. Your reviewer has to admit that he cannot begin to do justice to the breadth and depth of material presented and the beautiful presentation in matters of printing and layout that enhances the concepts of early scholars."
