- 28a0c7195f8716b3525c0091634697800969c871fcbe90e20b8dac4605ebf6c9 quote "The Hindus had a very good system of approximating irrational square roots. Three of the Sulva Sutras contain the approximation for the diagonal of a square of side 1 . [...] We can only conjecture how such an approximation was obtained. One guess is the approximation with a = 4/3 and r = 2/9. This approximation follows a rule given by the twelfth century Muslim mathematician Al-Hassar.".
