Brahmagupta- (Extra Credit Math Video)

Nah and Em needed some extra credit for their Pre-Calc class.

We didn't want to each write our paper on some nerdy math guy....so we made a video on one instead!

Sorry about the bad quality, we worked with what we had.

Enjoy!

Girls are right. Brahmagupta said number divided by zero is number. Today we say its undefined. Not much progress in that either

[ruwanraj]

Here is the Brahmagupta quadratic formula

"“To the absolute number multiplied by four times the [coefficient of the] square, add the square of the [coefficient of the] middle term; the square root of the same, less the [coefficient of the] middle term, being divided by twice the [coefficient of the] square is the value”.

Brahmagupta: Brahmasphutasiddhanta (Henry Thomas Colebrooke translation, 1817, page 346)

ax2 + bx + c = 0

absolute number = c

Girls....Great video but little inaccurate. Brahmagupta did not divide the quadratic into three equations. Brahmagupta gave one general formula for the quadratic.

i doubt brahmagupta talked like that. he was a north indian, and ur accent is of a south indian. i think if u could go through the pain of finding out about a forgotten mathematician the least u could do is present it properly fucking whore
