Bhaskara's proof (1114 AD) of the theorem follows from the figure
So simple, elegant and beautiful. I wish I was aware of this proof as a student

This is sweet! I too wish I had known this earlier. Apparently, Appolonius traveled to India to learn Mathematics....
Yes, I wish, we could have focused on such things in school. We learnt and applied several things, but I sometimes think I missed out on basics and fun stuff like the proof here.
Bhaskara's elegant proof is one of the example that shows the need for making the 'vedic mathematics' a part of the curriculum. teachers and elders should spare some time in telling the children about the good
contributions made by indians in the fileds of maths, physics.,. ---vikram(IITM)
Just saw Vedic maths method to multiply any number by 11. It is good for small numbers, but for 5 or 6 digit numbers the method: put a 0 to the right of the number and add the original number is less complicated.
