MAT 336 History of Mathematics Spring 2020 Lectures 1 and 2

1.  
2. Activity 1 Baudhayana Sulbasutra 1 in Geogebra. (You can also do the activity in pen and paper)
3. Activity 2: Baudhayana Sulbasutra 2 in Geogebra  Lecture 2, morning. (If you have trouble with the Geogebra class, try this link)
4. Activity 3: Baudhayana Sulbasutra 3 - Lecture 2, morning. Geogebra Class.  (If you have trouble with the Geogebra class, try this link) 
5. Activity 4: See this geogebra app for the “implementation” of the sutra: If it is desired to transform a rectangle into a square, its breadth is taken as the side of a square [and this square on the breadth is cut off from the rectangle]. The remainder [of the rectangle] is divided into two equal parts and placed on two sides [one part on each]. The empty space [in the corner] is filled up with a [square] piece. The removal of it [of the square piece from the square thus formed to get the required square] has been stated [before],
6. Activity 5: Baudhayana Sulbasutra 5 - Lecture 2, morning. Geogebra Class.  (If you have trouble with the Geogebra class, try this link)
