  • diffhist Brahmagupta 14:03 −1,931103.190.8.224 talk(In chapter seven of his Brāhmasphuṭasiddhānta, entitled Lunar Crescent, Brahmagupta rebuts the idea that the Moon is farther from the Earth than the Sun. [clarification needed] He does this by explaining the illumination of the Moon by the Sun. 1. If the moon were above the sun, how would the power of waxing and waning, etc., be produced from calculation of the longitude of the moon? The near half would always be bright. 2. In the same way that the half seen by the sun of a pot standing in su) Tags: Reverted Visual edit Mobile edit Mobile web edit
  • diffhist Brahmagupta 14:02 −1,391103.190.8.224 talk(The earth on all its sides is the same; all people on the earth stand upright, and all heavy things fall down to the earth by a law of nature, for it is the nature of the earth to attract and to keep things, as it is the nature of water to flow ... If a thing wants to go deeper down than the earth, let it try. The earth is the only low thing, and seeds always return to it, in whatever direction you may throw them away, and never rise upwards from the earth.)

  • diffhist Brahmagupta 14:00 −1,208103.190.8.224 talk(After giving the value of pi, he deals with the geometry of plane figures and solids, such as finding volumes and surface areas (or empty spaces dug out of solids). He finds the volume of rectangular prisms, pyramids, and the frustum of a square pyramid. He further finds the average depth of a series of pits. For the volume of a frustum of a pyramid, he gives the "pragmatic" value as the depth times the square of the mean of the edges of the top and bottom faces, and he gives the "superficial" v) Tags: Reverted Visual edit Mobile edit Mobile web edit
  • diffhist Brahmagupta 14:00 −1,501103.190.8.224 talk(Brahmagupta continues, 12.23. The square-root of the sum of the two products of the sides and opposite sides of a non-unequal quadrilateral is the diagonal. The square of the diagonal is diminished by the square of half the sum of the base and the top; the square-root is the perpendicular [altitudes]. So, in a "non-unequal" cyclic quadrilateral (that is, an isosceles trapezoid), the length of each diagonal is √pr + qs. He continues to give formulas for the lengths and areas of geometric figur) Tags: Reverted Visual edit Mobile edit Mobile web edit
  • diffhist Brahmagupta 13:59 −1,223103.190.8.224 talk(12.21. The approximate area is the product of the halves of the sums of the sides and opposite sides of a triangle and a quadrilateral. The accurate [area] is the square root from the product of the halves of the sums of the sides diminished by [each] side of the quadrilateral. So given the lengths p, q, r and s of a cyclic quadrilateral, the approximate area is p + r/2 · q + s/2 while, letting t = p + q + r + s/2, the exact area is √(t − p)(t − q)(t − r)(t − s).

  • diffhist Brahmagupta 13:58 −2,844103.190.8.224 talk(Using his identity and the fact that if (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) are solutions to the equations x2 − Ny2 = k1 and x2 − Ny2 = k2, respectively, then (x1x2 + Ny1y2, x1y2 + x2y1) is a solution to x2 − Ny2 = k1k2, he was able to find integral solutions to Pell's equation through a series of equations of the form x2 − Ny2 = ki. Brahmagupta was not able to apply his solution uniformly for all possible values of N, rather he was only able to show that if x2 − Ny2 = k has an integer solution for k = ±1, ±2) Tags: Reverted references removed Visual edit Mobile edit Mobile web edit
