Dear Members of the Indology list, In order to illustrate an article of vulgarization, I am looking for an example of how an "equation of the second degree" is handled in a Sanskrit text, I mean by putting above each other the corresponding coefficients of the square (yaava), the unknown (yaa) and the number (ruu) of the two members. Of course, I have seen this in many editions, but I am especially looking for an example from a manuscript, preferentially from Brahmagupta or Bhaaskara II.
Thank you for your help, *Jean Michel DELIRE, PhD* *Lecturer on History of mathematics - IHEB (University of Brussels, ULB)* *Lecturer on **Science and civilisation of India - Sanskrit Texts - IHEB (ULB)* *Member of the Centre National d'Histoire des Sciences (KBR, Bruxelles)* *Member of the Société Asiatique (Paris)* *Member of the International Association of Sanskrit Studies*
