The MOST CONFUSING IDEA in maths is why ⁻1 × ⁻1 = ⁺1

Watch the shocking video on how India's maths got LOST BEFORE it was understood in either the Arabic world or Europe! http://www.j.mp/Arith2Podo

Poor old 🇮🇳 Brahmagupta

A genius the world ignored in favour of 🇬🇧men who thought numbers start at 2.

I say NO MORE!

Please take 60 seconds to sign the petition to teach Brahmaguptan maths in India's classrooms.

It makes TOTAL sense!

The Missing Śulba Sūtra to square a circle is...

"Peg and measure 1/4 the circumference of a circle (with rope). Extend this length along the diameter and then turn 90° to the circumference. The peg return is the side of the desired square of the circle."

Please think of the #homeless during these difficult times. People have kept their #socialdistance from them long before #covid_19
