Kṛtiprakṛti (कृतिप्रकृति) is another name for Vargaprakṛti (“square-nature”), according to the principles of Bījagaṇita (“algebra” or ‘science of calculation’), according to Gaṇita-śāstra, ancient Indian mathematics and astronomy.—The indeterminate quadratic equation [Nx² ± c = y²], is called by the Hindus vargaprakṛti or kṛtiprakṛti, meaning the “square-nature” Bhāskara II (1150) states that the absolute number should be rūpa, which means “unity” as well as “absolute number” in general. [...] It was recognised that the most fundamental equation of this class is [Nx² + 1 = y²] where N is a non-square integer. [...]

context information

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.
