Yuktibhāṣā
Yuktibhāṣā is a significant work in the field of Indian mathematics, written by the mathematician Bhāskara II in the 12th century. It serves as a commentary on the mathematical concepts and techniques of the time, particularly focusing on arithmetic, algebra, and geometry. The text is notable for its systematic approach to problem-solving and its use of reasoning in mathematical proofs.
The title "Yuktibhāṣā" translates to "the language of reasoning," highlighting its emphasis on logical thought. This work is considered one of the earliest examples of mathematical exposition in the Indian tradition, bridging the gap between ancient and modern mathematical practices.
