This commentary, ''Āryabhaṭīyabhāṣya'', written in 629, is among the oldest known prose works in Sanskrit on mathematics and astronomy. He also wrote two astronomical works in the line of Aryabhata's school: the ''Mahābhāskarīya'' ("Great Book of Bhāskara") and the ''Laghubhāskarīya'' ("Small Book of Bhāskara").

Quadratic Formula
In elementary algebra, the quadratic formula is a closed-form expression describing the solutions of a quadratic equation. Other ways of solving quadratic equations, such as completing the square, yield the same solutions. Given a general quadratic equation of the form , with representing an unknown, and coefficients , , and representing known real number, real or complex number, complex numbers with , the values of satisfying the equation, called the Zero of a function, ''roots'' or ''zeros'', can be found using the quadratic formula, x = \frac, where the plus–minus sign, plus–minus symbol "" indicates that the equation has two roots. Written separately, these are: x_1 = \frac, \qquad x_2 = \frac. The quantity is known as the discriminant of the quadratic equation. If the coefficients , , and are real numbers then when , the equation has two distinct real number, real roots; when , the equation has one repeated root, repeated real root; and when , the equation h ...
