Bhaskaracarya’s Treatment of the Concept of Infinity

By : Avinash Sathaye

Page No: 111-123

Bhaskaracarya’s treatment of the concept of infinity in his Algebra book is strikingly different and his corresponding exercises are sometimes criticized as erroneous. We discuss his ideas and propose a new explanation in terms of an extended number system with idempotents.
