Diophantus and Diophantine Equations

Diophantus of Alexandria was a Greek mathematician who lived around the 3rd century AD. He is best known for his work in number theory, particularly for his contributions to what are now known as Diophantine equations. His most famous work is the "Arithmetica," where he introduced methods for solving equations that require integer solutions. **Diophantine Equations** are polynomial equations that seek integer solutions.
