Bija Ganita
Bija Ganita is an ancient Indian system of mathematics that focuses on algebraic concepts. The term translates to "seed mathematics," emphasizing the foundational principles that can grow into more complex ideas. It includes methods for solving equations and understanding relationships between numbers, laying the groundwork for modern algebra.
This mathematical framework was developed by ancient Indian mathematicians, notably Brahmagupta and Bhaskara, who contributed significantly to its principles. Bija Ganita encompasses techniques for operations like addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division, as well as the use of symbols to represent unknown quantities, making it a crucial part of mathematical history.
