Brahmasphutasiddhanta
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The main work of Brahmagupta, Brahmasphuta-siddhanta (The Opening of the Universe), written in the year 628, contains some remarkably advanced ideas, including a good understanding of the mathematical role of zero, rules for manipulating both negative and positive numbers, a method for computing square roots, methods of solving linear and some quadratic equations, and rules for summing series, Brahmagupta's identity, and the Brahmagupta’s theorem. The book was written completely in verse.
