This chapter will discuss the Linear Diophantine Equation. A Diophantine equation is a polynomial equation whose solutions are restricted to integral values. It may contain two or more unknown parameters. Diophantine equation, is named after the ancient Greek Mathematician Diophantus of Alexandria who studied this topic in the third century A.D. Very little is known about Diophantus' life except that he probably lived in Alexandria in the early part of the fourth century c.e. and was probably the first to use letters for unknown quantities in arithmetic problems. His most famous work, Arithmetica consists of approximately 200 problems and their solutions. Most of these problems involved solutions of equations in various numbers of variables. It is interesting to note that Diophantus did not restrict his solutions to the integers but recognized rational number solutions as well.
