✦ Synopsis
In this article I present three problems and their solutions from a newly discovered fragment of a lost mathematical work of Nas . er-e Khosrow, a great Iranian poet and thinker who lived in the 11th century. The first and second problems lead to indeterminate linear equations and the third one leads to an indeterminate quadratic equation.
