The iterative approximation techniques described in the Jaipur manuscript’s excerpt of the jyācāpa section of the Siddhāntakaustubha can be used for determining either R sin 1°, denoted 𝑥, or its double Crd 2°, denoted y. As explained in section 1.1, R sin denotes the standard sine function scaled to the given trigonometric radius R (usually 60 in this context), and Crd is the chord of the designated arc in the circle of radius R.

摘要

The iterative approximation techniques described in the Jaipur manuscript’s excerpt of the jyācāpa section of the Siddhāntakaustubha can be used for determining either R sin 1°, denoted 𝑥, or its double Crd 2°, denoted y. As explained in section 1.1, R sin denotes the standard sine function scaled to the given trigonometric radius R (usually 60 in this context), and Crd is the chord of the designated arc in the circle of radius R.
