Chitrabhanu (IAST: Citrabhānu; fl. 16th century) was a mathematician of the Kerala school and a student of Nilakantha Somayaji. He was a Nambudiri brahmin from the town of Covvaram near present day Trissur.[1] He is noted for a karaṇa, a concise astronomical manual, dated to 1530, an algebraic treatise, and a commentary on a poetic text. Nilakantha and he were both teachers of Shankara Variyar.[2][3]
Contributions
He gave integer solutions to 21 types of systems of two simultaneous Diophantine equations in two unknowns.[2] These types are all the possible pairs of equations of the following seven forms:[4]
For each case, Chitrabhanu gave an explanation and justification of his rule as well as an example. Some of his explanations are algebraic, while others are geometric.
