1030 -- 1130	M. D. Srinivas: The cakravala method for solving quadratic indeterminate equations 
		chair: N Mukunda			medium:  projector + chalk

		Abstract: We shall present an outline of the cakravala method as discussed
		by Bhaskara.  We shall also summarise the analysis by Krishnaswamy Ayyangar,
		who has recast the method in a simpler form that can perhaps be taught
		to students even at the high school level.
