Mathematical problems of the famous Iranian poet Nāṣer-e Khosrow (Q1360080): Difference between revisions

In his paper the author presents three problems numbered 30, 31 and 36, and their solutions from a newly discovered fragment of a lost mathematical work of Nāṣer-e Khosrow, a great Iranian poet and thinker who lived in the 11th century. The fragment of ``The Curiosities of Arithmetic, and the Wonders of Arithmeticians'' is extant in manuscript no. 640/8 of the Malek Library in Teheran, p. 309. The first and second problems lead to indeterminate linear equations and the third one leads to an indeterminate quadratic equation.
