Talk:Bhāskara II

message: When I look at the math history article MacTutor History of mathematics page I find no reference to calculus under Bhaskara's article.  The only references given to this seem to be slides on a physists webpage.  Are their any scholarly articles on the subject?  Shouldn't those be listed. Thenub314 14:58, 27 September 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Can anyone check if the claims made in Use of Calculus in Hindu Mathematics page 98 bottom, support the argument about calculus. --Sciencefanforhumanity (talk) 20:50, 3 October 2020 (UTC)

message: 1. who were Bhaskara's patrons
2. How was his work propagated ?
3. Was his work used in india, if say during what period
4. If his work was forgotten, who "rediscovered" it ?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jonathansammy (talk • contribs) 22:18, 24 January 2011 (UTC)

message: Bhaskara II conceived the modern mathematical convention that when a finite number is divided by zero, the result is infinity Firstly, this isn't a legend. Secondly, it is not true that division by zero is considered to be infinite. Surely it's more accurate to say that division by zero is undefined, or that x/n->infinity as n->0 ?

message: Due to the staggering amount of unsourced claims and loaded language, I've added a NPOV tag. In order to make clear that the article is not NPOV, it should cleaned up, so claims are sourced, and the most loaded languages re-written in an encyclopedic language. --Kristjan Wager (talk) 05:51, 18 September 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: Concur; in addition, many of the sources quoted are not considered mainstream scholarship, so that alternative views should also be included, even if the present views can be sourced.  — Arthur Rubin  (talk) 17:55, 17 February 2013 (UTC)

message: IMO, a major issue with the article is that it's cast in the light of modern mathematics and science, and seeking to claim that Bhāskara did this or that — it's written as a list of putative "achievements". Instead, the ideal would be to present his work on its own terms, place it in context, give some background of what his aims were, and how he accomplished them. Meanwhile, it looks like some references added in the past have been randomly removed over the years, by vandals. Let's improve this article; it's a mess. Shreevatsa (talk) 21:29, 13 July 2014 (UTC)

message: Grahaganita almost equal formula could get arrived if I take Secant, Cosecant anomalies. What Grahaganita says in brief for this equation explanation, just a equation in the page not suffices the relevance for it, at-least bit of clear information must've been furnished with right reference.
