Bijaganita is a branch of ancient Indian mathematics that focuses on algebra. The term translates to "the science of equations" and encompasses various techniques for solving equations, particularly quadratic equations. Bijaganita includes concepts such as arithmetic operations, algebraic identities, and the relationship between numbers. It may also address practical applications, like calculating areas and solving problems related to commerce or land measurement. This mathematical tradition significantly influenced mathematical thought and included key contributions from notable scholars, making it an essential aspect of the history of mathematics in India.
