In Hinduism
Ganitashastra (Mathematics and Algebra)
Source: archive.org: Hindu MathematicsKhahara (खहर) refers to a “number divided by zero” (i.e., “that number with zero as denominator”), in ancient Indian mathematics (gaṇita-śāstra).—The quotient of division by zero of a finite quantity has been called by Bhāskara II as khahara, which is synonymous with khacheda (the quantity with zero as denominator) of Brahmagupta.
Bhāskara II in the Līlāvatī:—“In addition cipher makes the sum equal to the additive. In involution and evolution the result is cipher. A number divided by zero is khahara (that number with zero as denominator). The product of (a number and) zero is zero, but it must be retained as a multiple of zero (khaguṇa), if any further operations impend. Zero having become a multiplier (of a number), should zero afterwards become a divisor, the number must be understood to be unchanged. So likewise any number, to which zero is added, or from which it is subtracted (is unaltered)”.
Ganitashastra (शिल्पशास्त्र, gaṇitaśāstra) refers to the ancient Indian science of mathematics, algebra, number theory, arithmetic, etc. Closely allied with astronomy, both were commonly taught and studied in universities, even since the 1st millennium BCE. Ganita-shastra also includes ritualistic math-books such as the Shulba-sutras.
