Link of solution of the one of the cubic equations, and link for a solution of a second type.
Descartes curve from La Geometrie in Geogebra (same as below). You can drag the point L.To start, to get familiar with the app and the curve, leave the slides a, b, and c fixed. You can play with them later, and see how they affect the curve.
Sutras.
- Activity 1 Baudhayana Sulbasutra 1 in Geogebra. (You can also do the activity in pen and paper)
- Activity 2: Baudhayana Sulbasutra 2 in Geogebra Lecture 2, morning. (If you have trouble with the Geogebra class, try this link)
- Activity 3: Baudhayana Sulbasutra 3 - Lecture 2, morning. Geogebra Class. (If you have trouble with the Geogebra class, try this link)
- 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],
