Summary, etc. In the 5th century the Indian mathematician Aryabhata (476-499) wrote a small but famous work on astronomy, the Aryabhatiya. This treatise, written in 118 verses, gives in its second chapter a summary of Hindu mathematics up to that time. Two hundred years later, an Indian astronomer called Bhaskara glossed this mathematial chapter of the Aryabhatiya.<br/><br/>An english translation of Bhaskaraâ€s commentary and a mathematical supplement are presented in two volumes.<br/><br/>Subjects treated in Bhaskaraâ€s commentary range from computing the volume of an equilateral tetrahedron to the interest on a loaned capital, from computations on series to an elaborate process to solve a Diophantine equation.<br/><br/>This volume contains an introduction and the literal translation.<br/><br/>The introduction aims at providing a general background for the translation and is divided in three sections: the first locates Bhaskaraâ€s text, the second looks at its mathematical contents and the third section analyzes the relations of the commentary and the treatise.
