Mathematical notation comprises thesymbolsused to write
mathematicalequationsandformulas. It includesHindu-Arabic numerals,
letters from theRoman,Greek,Hebrew, andGermanalphabets, and a host of
symbols invented by mathematicians over the past several centuries.
The development of mathematical notation for algebra can be divided in three
stages. The first is "rhetorical", where all calculations are performed by words
and no symbols are used. Most medieval Islamic mathematicians belonged to
this stage. The second is "syncopated", where frequently used operations and
quantities are represented by symbolic abbreviations. To this
stageDiophantusbelonged. The third is "symbolic", which is a more
comprehensive system of notation that replaces much of rhetoric. This system
was in use by medieval Indian mathematicians and in Europe since the middle
of the 17th century,[1]
and has continued to develop down to the present day.
BrahmaguptaFrom Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Brahmagupta(Sanskrit:; listen(helpinfo)) (597668 AD) was
aIndianmathematicianandastronomerwho wrote many important works on mathematics and astronomy. His
best known work is theBrhmasphuasiddhnta(Correctly Established Doctrine of Brahma), written in 628
inBhinmal. Its 25 chapters contain several unprecedented mathematical results.
Brahmagupta was the first to use zero as a number. He gave rules to compute withzero. Brahmagupta used
negative numbers and zero for computing. The modern rule that two negative numbers multiplied together
equals a positive number first appears in Brahmasputa siddhanta. It is composed in elliptic verse, as was
common
, that is, the teacher from Bhillamala. He was the head of the astronomical observatory atUjjain, and during his
tenure there wrote four texts on mathematics and astronomy: the Cadamekela in 624,
theBrahmasphutasiddhantain 628, the Khandakhadyaka in 665, and the Durkeamynarda in 672.
The Brahmasphutasiddhanta (Corrected Treatise of Brahma) is arguably his most famous work. The
historianal-Biruni(c. 1050) in his book Tariq al-Hindstates that theAbbasidcaliphal-Ma'munhad an embassy
in India and from India a book was brought to Baghdad which was translated into Arabic as Sindhind. It is
generally presumed that Sindhindis none other than Brahmagupta'sBrahmasphuta-siddhanta.[4]
Although Brahmagupta was familiar with the works of astronomers following the tradition ofAryabhatiya, it is
not known if he was familiar with the work ofBhaskara I, a contemporary.[3]

earliest attested
Arithmetic [edit]
Four fundamental operations (addition, subtraction, multiplication and division) were known to many
cultures before Brahmagupta. This current system is based on the Hindu Arabic number system and
first appeared in Brahmasputa siddhanta. Brahmagupta describes the multiplication as thus The
multiplicand is repeated like a string for cattle, as often as there are integrant portions in the multiplier
and is repeatedly multiplied by them and the products are added together. It is multiplication. Or the
multiplicand is repeated as many times as there are component parts in the multiplier.[7]
Indian
arithmetic was known in Medieval Europe as "Modus Indoram" meaning method of the Indians. In
BrahmasputhaSiddhanta, Multiplication was named Gomutrika. In the beginning of chapter twelve of
hisBrahmasphutasiddhanta, entitled Calculation, Brahmagupta details operations on fractions. The
reader is expected to know the basic arithmetic operations as far as taking the square root, although
he explains how to find the cube and cube-root of an integer and later gives rules facilitating the
computation of squares and square roots. He then gives rules for dealing with five types of
combinations of fractions, , , , ,
and .[8]
Series [edit]
Brahmagupta then goes on to give the sum of the squares and cubes of the first n integers.
12.20. The sum of the squares is that [sum] multiplied by twice the [number of] step[s]
increased by one [and] divided by three. The sum of the cubes is the square of that [sum]
Piles of these with identical balls [can also be computed].[9]
Here Brahmagupta found the result in terms of the sum of the first n integers, rather than in terms
ofn as is the
digit in representing another number as was done by theBabyloniansor as a symbol for a lack of
quantity as was done byPtolemyand theRomans. In chapter eighteen of hisBrahmasphutasiddhanta,
Brahmagupta describes operations on negative numbers. He first describes addition and subtraction,
18.30. [The sum] of two positives is positives, of two negatives negative; of a positive and a
negative [the sum] is their difference; if they are equal it is zero. The sum of a negative and
zero is negative, [that] of a positive and zero positive, [and that] of two zeros zero.
[...]
18.32. A negative minus zero is negative, a positive [minus zero] positive; zero [minus zero] is

zero. When a positive is to be subtracted from a negative or a negative from a positive, then it
is to be added.[5]
He goes on to describe multiplication,
18.33. The product of a negative and a positive is negative, of two negatives positive, and of
positives positive; the product of zero and a negative, of zero and a positive, or of two zeros
is zero.[5]
But his description ofdivision by zerodiffers from our modern understanding,
18.34. A positive divided by a positive or a negative divided by a negative is positive; a zero
divided by a zero is zero; a positive divided by a negative is negative; a negative divided by a
positive is [also] negative.
18.35. A negative or a positive divided by zero has that [zero] as its divisor, or zero divided by
a negative or a positive [has that negative or positive as its divisor]. The square of a negative
or of a positive is positive; [the square] of zero is zero. That of which [the square] is the
square is [its] square-root.[5]
Here Brahmagupta states that and as for the question of where he did not commit
himself.[11]
His rules forarithmeticonnegative numbersand zero are quite close to the modern
understanding, except that in modern mathematics division by zero is leftundefined.
x, let a = mxand b = m + mx/(x + 2). Then m, a, and b form a Pythagorean triple.[9]
Pell's equation [edit]
Brahmagupta went on to give a recurrence relation for generating solutions to certain instances of
Diophantine equations of the second degree such as (calledPell's equation) by
using theEuclidean algorithm. The Euclidean algorithm was known to him as the "pulverizer" since it
breaks numbers down into ever smaller pieces.[12]
The nature of squares:
18.64. [Put down] twice the square-root of a given square by a multiplier and increased or
diminished by an arbitrary [number]. The product of the first [pair], multiplied by the multiplier,
with the product of the last [pair], is the last computed.
18.65. The sum of the thunderbolt products is the first. The additive is equal to the product of
the additives. The two square-roots, divided by the additive or the subtractive, are the
additive rupas.[5]
The key to his solution was the identity,[13]

Using his identity and the fact that if and are solutions to the

Main article:Brahmagupta's formula
Brahmagupta's most famous result in geometry is hisformulaforcyclic quadrilaterals. Given
the lengths of the sides of any cyclic quadrilateral, Brahmagupta gave an approximate and
an exact formula for the figure's area,
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.[9]
So given the lengthsp, q, rand s of a cyclic quadrilateral, the approximate area
is while, letting , the exact area is
when divided by two they are the true segments. The perpendicular [altitude] is
the square-root from the square of a side diminished by the square of its
segment.[9]

Thus the lengths of the two segments are .
He further gives a theorem onrational triangles. A triangle with rational sides a, b, cand
rational area is of the form:
for some rational numbers u, v, and w.[15]
Brahmagupta's theorem [edit]
Main article:Brahmagupta theorem
He continues to give formulas for the lengths and areas of geometric figures, such
as the circumradius of an isosceles trapezoid and a scalene quadrilateral, and the
lengths of diagonals in a scalene cyclic quadrilateral. This leads up
toBrahmagupta's famous theorem,
12.30-31. Imaging two triangles within [a cyclic quadrilateral] with unequal
sides, the two diagonals are the two bases. Their two segments are
separately the upper and lower segments [formed] at the intersection of the
diagonals. The two [lower segments] of the two diagonals are two sides in
a triangle; the base [of the quadrilateral is the base of the triangle]. Its
perpendicular is the lower portion of the [central] perpendicular; the upper
portion of the [central] perpendicular is half of the sum of the [sides]
perpendiculars diminished by the lower [portion of the central

In verse 40, he gives values of,
12.40. The diameter and the square of the radius [each] multiplied by 3 are
[respectively] the practical circumference and the area [of a circle]. The
accurate [values] are the square-roots from the squares of those two
multiplied by ten.[9]
So Brahmagupta uses 3 as a "practical" value of, and as an "accurate"
value of.
Measurements and constructions [edit]
In some of the verses before verse 40, Brahmagupta gives constructions of various
figures with arbitrary sides. He essentially manipulated right triangles to produce
isosceles triangles, scalene triangles, rectangles, isosceles trapezoids, isosceles
trapezoids with three equal sides, and a scalene cyclic quadrilateral.

Interpolation formula [edit]
See main article:Brahmagupta's interpolation formula
In 665 Brahmagupta devised and used a special case of the NewtonStirling
interpolation formula of the second-order tointerpolatenew values of
thesinefunction from other values already tabulated.[19]
The formula gives an
estimate for the value of a function at a valuea +xh of its argument (with h > 0and 1x 1) when its value is already known at ah, a and a + h.
The formula for the estimate is:

ofUjjainby the name of Kankah in 770 A.D. Kankah used
the Brahmasphutasiddhanta to explain the Hindu system of arithmetic
astronomy.Muhammad al-Fazaritranslated Brahmugupta's work into
Arabic upon the request of the caliph.
In chapter seven of his Brahmasphutasiddhanta, entitled Lunar Crescent,
Brahmagupta rebuts the idea that the Moon is farther from the Earth than
the Sun, an idea which is maintained in scriptures. He does this by
explaining the illumination of the Moon by the Sun.[22]
7.1. 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 be] always bright.
7.2. In the same way that the half seen by the sun of a pot
standing in sunlight is bright, and the unseen half dark, so is [the
illumination] of the moon [if it is] beneath the sun.
7.3. The brightness is increased in the direction of the sun. At the
end of a bright [i.e. waxing] half-month, the near half is bright and
the far half dark. Hence, the elevation of the horns [of the crescent
can be derived] from calculation. [...][23]
He explains that since the Moon is closer to the Earth than the Sun, the
degree of the illuminated part of the Moon depends on the relative
positions of the Sun and the Moon, and this can be computed from the
size of the angle between the two bodies.[22]
Some of the important contributions made by Brahmagupta in astronomy
are: methods for calculating the position of heavenly bodies over time
(ephemerides), their rising and setting,conjunctions, and the calculation of
solar and lunareclipses.[24]
Brahmagupta criticized thePuranicview that
the Earth was flat or hollow. Instead, he observed that the Earth and
heaven were spherical and that the Earth is moving. In 1030, theMuslim
astronomerAbu al-Rayhan al-Biruni, in his Ta'rikh al-Hind, later translated
intoLatinas Indica, commented on Brahmagupta's work and wrote that
critics argued:
"If such were the case, stones would and trees would fall from the
earth."[25]

According to al-Biruni, Brahmagupta responded to these criticisms with the
following argument ongravitation:
"On the contrary, if that were the case, the earth would not vie in
keeping an even and uniform pace with the minutes of heaven,
thepranasof the times. [...] All heavy things are attracted towards
the center of the earth. [...] The earth on all its sides is the same;
all people on 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, that
of fire to burn, and that of wind to set in motion... 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."[26]
About the Earth's gravity he said: "Bodies fall towards the earth as it is in
the nature of the earth to attract bodies, just as it is in the nature of water
to flow."[27]

This astronomer was born in 598 and apparently
worked in Bhillamal (identified with modern
Bhinmal in Rajasthan), during the reign (and
possibly under the patronage) of King
Vyaghramukha.
Although we do not know whether Brahmagupta
encountered the work of his contemporary
Bhaskara, he was certainly aware of the writings
of other members of the tradition of
theAryabhatiya, about which he has nothing
good to say. This is almost the first trace we
possess of the division of Indian astronomer-mathematicians into rival, sometimes antagonistic
"schools." [...] it was in the application of
mathematical models to the physical worldin
this case, the choices of astronomical parameters
and theoriesthat disagreements arose. [...]
Such critiques of rival works appear occasionally
throughout the first ten astronomical chapters of
the Brahmasphutasiddhanta, and its eleventh
chapter is entirely devoted to them. But they do
not enter into the mathematical chapters that
Brahmagupta devotes respectively
to ganita (chapter 12) and the pulverizer (chapter
18). This division of mathematical subjects
reflects a different twofold classification from
Bhaskara's "mathematics of fields" and
"mathematics of quantities." Instead, the first is
concerned with arithmetic operations beginningwith addition, proportion, interest, series, formulas
for finding lengths, areas, and volumes in
geometrical figures, and various procedures with
fractionsin short, diverse rules for computing
with known quantities. The second, on the other
hand, deals with what Brahmagupta calls "the

The Paitamahasiddhanta, however, specifies an
initial sine-value of 225 (although the rest of its
sine-table is lost), implying a trigonometric radius
ofR= 3438 aprox= C(')/2: a tradition followed,
as we have seen, by Aryabhata. Nobody knows
why Brahmagupta chose instead to normalize
these values to R = 3270.

William Jones was born the son of Sin Sir (John George Jones) and
Elizabeth Rowland in the village ofLlanfihangel Tre'r Beirdd, on theIsle of
Anglesey. He attended a local charity school at Llanfechell, where his
mathematical talents were spotted by the local landowner who arranged for
him to be given a job in London working in a merchant's counting-house. He
owed his successful career partly to the patronage of the
distinguishedBulkeleyfamily of northWales, and later to theEarl of
Macclesfield.
Jones initially served at sea, teaching mathematics on board Navy ships
between 1695 and 1702 where he became very interested in navigation andpublishedA New Compendium of the Whole Art of Navigation in
1702[2]
dedicated to a benefactorJohn Harris.[3]
In this work he applied
mathematics to navigation, studying methods to calculate position at sea.
After his voyages were over he became a mathematics teacher inLondon,
both in coffee houses and as a private tutor to the son of the future Earl of
Macclesfield and also the futureBaron Hardwicke. He also held a number of
undemanding posts in government offices with the help of his former pupils.
Jones published Synopsis Palmariorum Matheseos in 1706, a work which was
intended for beginners and which included theorems ondifferential
calculusandinfinite series. This used as an abbreviation forperimeter. His
1711 workAnalysis per quantitatum series, fluxiones ac
differentias introduced the dot notation fordifferentiationin calculus.[4]
In 1731
he publishedDiscourses of the Natural Philosophy of the Elements.
He married twice, firstly the widow of his counting-house employer, whose
property he inherited on her death, and secondly, in 1731, Mary, the 22 year
old daughter of cabinet-maker George Nix with whom he had two surviving
children. His son, also namedWilliam Jonesborn in 1746, was a
renownedphilologistwho first recognised the existence of theIndo-European
languagegroup.

Giuseppe Peano (Italian:[duzppe peano]; 27 August 1858 20 April 1932) was anItalianmathematician,
whose work was ofphilosophicalvalue. The author of over 200 books and papers, he was a founder
ofmathematical logicandset theory, to which he contributed much notation. The standardaxiomatizationof
thenatural numbersis named thePeano axiomsin his honor. As part of this effort, he made key contributions
to the modern rigorous and systematic treatment of the method ofmathematical induction. He spent most of his
career teaching mathematics at theUniversity of Turin.

Biography [edit]
Peano was born and raised on a farm at Spinetta, a hamlet now belonging toCuneo,Piedmont,Italy. He
attended theLiceo classico CavourinTurin, and enrolled at theUniversity of Turinin 1876, graduating in 1880
with high
In 1890 Peano founded the journal Rivista di Matematica, which published its first issue in January 1891.[3]In
1891 Peano started theFormulario Project. It was to be an "Encyclopedia of Mathematics", containing all
known formulae and theorems of mathematical science using a standard notation invented by Peano. In 1897,
the firstInternational Congress of Mathematicianswas held inZrich. Peano was a key participant, presenting
a paper on mathematical logic. He also started to become increasingly occupied with Formulario to the
detriment of his other work.
In 1898 he presented a note to the Academy aboutbinary numerationand its ability to be used to represent the
sounds of languages. He also became so frustrated with publishing delays (due to his demand that formulae be
printed on one line) that he purchased a printing press.

He [Peano] was a man I greatly
admired from the moment I met
him for the first time in 1900 at a
Congress of Philosophy, which he
dominated by the exactness of hismind.
Bertrand Russell, 1932,[4]
Pariswas the venue for the SecondInternational Congress of Mathematiciansin 1900. The conference was
preceded by the FirstInternational Conference of Philosophywhere Peano was a member of the patronage
committee. He presented a paper which posed the question of correctly formed definitions in
mathematics, i.e. "how do you define a definition?". This became one of Peano's main philosophical interests
for the rest of his life. At the conference Peano metBertrand Russelland gave him a copy ofFormulario.
Russell was so struck by Peano's innovative logical symbols that he left the conference and returned home to
study Peano's text.
Peano's studentsMario PieriandAlessandro Padoahad papers presented at the philosophy congress also.
For the mathematical congress, Peano did not speak, but Padoa's memorable presentation has been
frequently recalled. A resolution calling for the formation of an "international auxiliary language" to facilitate the
spread of mathematical (and commercial) ideas, was proposed; Peano fully supported it.
By 1901, Peano was at the peak of his mathematical career. He had made advances in the areas ofanalysis,
foundations and logic, made many contributions to the teaching of calculus and also contributed to the fields
ofdifferential equationsandvectoranalysis. Peano played a key role in theaxiomatizationof mathematics and
was a leading pioneer in the development of mathematical logic. Peano had by this stage become heavily
involved with the Formulario project and his teaching began to suffer. In fact, he became so determined to
teach his new mathematical symbols that the calculus in his course was neglected. As a result he was
dismissed from the Royal Military Academy but retained his post at Turin University.
In 1903 Peano announced his work on an international auxiliary language calledLatino sine
flexione("Latinwithout inflexion," later called Interlingua, but which should not be confused with the
laterInterlinguaof theIALA). This was an important project for him (along with finding contributors for
'Formulario'). The idea was to use Latin vocabulary, since this was widely known, but simplify the grammar as
much as possible and remove all irregular and anomalous forms to make it easier to learn. In one speech, he
started speaking in Latin and, as he described each simplification, introduced it into his speech so that by the
end he was talking in his new language.
