23. Beijing To Host The International Congress Of Mathematicians In 2002 In the past, Mr. Chen Shingshen had been twice invited to give a one-hour lectureto the Congress while only a couple of chinese mathematicians were invited http://www.bulletin.ac.cn/ACTION/2001091702.htm

Beijing to host the International Congress of Mathematicians in 2002 The 24 th session of the International Congress of Mathematicians (ICM) will be convened in Beijing from August 20 to 28, 2002, announced a press conference held recently in Beijing. It is expected that 3,000-4,000 participants from the world over will attend the meeting. The IMC, a quadrennial meeting held under the auspices of the International Mathematical Union (IMU), is an important event for the mathematical community. At the Congress, mathematicians gather to discuss recent developments in the field, notes Prof. Ma Zhiming, President of the Chinese Society of Mathematics and a mathematician at the Academy of Mathematics and System Sciences under the Chinese Academy of Sciences. The Congress is an exciting reunion for mathematicians. At each session, one-hour plenary lectures and 45-minute invited lectures to the Congress presented by leading scientists from all mathematical field are regarded as the most outstanding results or monumental advances in the field. In addition, at the opening ceremony, Fields Medals, which are reconsidered as Nobel Prizes in mathematics, are awarded. These make it a grand event for the academic community and the public as well. From the first ICM of the last century in Paris featuring the 23 research problems for the century outlined by David Hilbert to the 1998 ICM noting for the awarding of fields Medal for Special Tribute to Andrew J. Wiles for his proof of Fermat¡¯s last theorem, the Congress has deeply impressed the public.

24. History 430AD chinese mathematicians have contributed vastly to our current knowledge ofMath. Perhaps one of the least mentioned for his work is Tsu Ch'ung Chi. http://www.oxy.edu/~jquinn/home/Math490/Timeline/430AD.html

430 A.D. Contributions from Charles and Fili Tsu Ch'ung Chi was born in Fan-yang, China in 430 AD. He was an astronomer, engineer and mathematician. In astronomy, he recommended a new calendar that he made in 463. He also found an accurate time of the solstice by measuring the length of the Sun's shadow at noon around the time of the solstice. In mathematics he found a rational approximation 355/113 = 3.14159265 to pi (3.1415927 ). This is correct for six decimal places. Not much is known about his approximation because his book, written by his son is now lost. Tsu Ch'ung Chi and his father found the formula for the volume of a sphere by carrying out Liu Hui's suggestion.

With a history of more than 100 years since its inauguration it will be a gala of math science to be held at the world's highest level. Mathematicians' invitation reports are generally regarded as representatives of great achievements and progress made in the field of worldwide math science. The ICM 2002 which is going to be held in Beijing next August will invite 11 Chinese mainland mathematicians to give reports, moreover, another 14 overseas Chinese mathematicians and those from Hong Kong Macao will also be invited to give reports. It is unprecedented for China to invite so many famous mathematicians. Some predict that China will become a math power in the coming five years. Math Drives China to Develop Math is the basis of all subjects. There will be no natural science or social science to speak of when they can do without math's application. Chinese famous mathematician Hua Luogeng ever gave a description of math's application: the vast universe, tiny particle, fast rocket, changes of the earth, the mystery of biology and many other things, math's roles are omnipresent.

31. Development Of Math In China3 The Chou Pei was not an isolated academic text shared only by a fewancient chinese mathematicians. The principles in the text were http://www.saxakali.com/COLOR_ASP/developcm3.htm

Development of Mathematics in Ancient China Chinese Math Texts The history of Chinese math and mathematicians was mostly lost or destroyed over the centuries. For example, the despotic emperor Shih Huang-ti of the Ch'in dynasty (221-207 B.C.) ordered the burning of books in 213 B.C. Scholars in the following Han period (206 B.C. to 220 A.D.) had to transcribe China's literary and scientifice traditions from memory or remaining fragments of scroll. Knowledge of astronomy and other areas was often handed down from father to son, and only later recorded in texts. Unfortunately, very few texts dedicated to mathematical astronomy have survived. Since the 16 century, Chinese math history has also been denied and ignored in the Western dominance of science and technology, both inside and outside China. However, there are several existing Chinese applied mathematics texts, which are collections of problems and solutions organized in chapters according to their practical applications. These texts proves that the Chinese were the first society to use some of the most basic and advanced mathematical principles and concepts utilized in modern times. Two of these texts are the Chou Pei and Chiu Chang. Chou Pei The oldest existing Chinese texts containing formal mathematical theories were produced during the Han period. The

32. Historymc3 Ancient chinese mathematicians. Liu Hui (220 to 265 AD) was perhaps the greatestmatematician of ancient China, however the details of his life are unknown. http://www.saxakali.com/color_asp/historymc3.htm

Chinese Value of PI The earliest known value for "pi" in China is 3, which was used as far back as the 12 century B.C. By the first century AD, the Chinese had calculated the value of " pi " to 3.15147; by the 3rd century to 3.141024 by Liu Hui; and in the fifth century to 3.1415929 by Tsu Chung-chih. This accuracy was not to be arrived at in Europe for another thousand years, until the 16th century AD. Other Trends in Chinese Math The Tang dynasty (A.D. 618 to 907) set up an examination system that included math and writing. In 1084, the Suanjing Shi Shu math text was printed under the Southern Sung Dynasty. The Chinese made tremendous achievements in algebra, from solving quadratic equations to working with indeterminate equations. The development of algebra reached its peak during the later part of the Sung and and early part of the Yuan dynasties (13 and 14 century AD). After 1230, mathematics was removed from the examination for good, in favor of literary subjects. By the time of the Ming emperors in the 17 century, Western mathematical influence began to transform Chinese mathematics, which brought to an end the long history of indigenous mathematical accomplishments in China.

But I don't know where you will find this today in any text, article, paper, etc. Curiouser and curioser (as Alice said), you find it in ancient Egyptian hieroglypics on clay or papyrus. The Egyptian word was " aha", meaning "heap". So, the "backwards" number or numbers sought by Egyptian priests (to understand the future from the past) was a member of a heap or a set We know this from the Rhind Papyrus (circa 1650 B.C.) in The British Museum in London. Here is a translation of one of its "aha" problems: "Problem 24: A quantity and its 1/7 added together become 19. What is the quantity? Assume 7. 1 1/7 of 7 is 8. As many times as 8 must be multiplied to give 19, so many times 7 must be multiplied to give the required number." This is " rhetorical algebra" the first stage of algebra ( ) formulated in words .

P REPARATION OF THE C ONGRESS Beijing,China August 20-28,2002 The Chinese Mathematical Society has appointed a Provisional Organizing Committee (POC) for ICM-2002 to work on preparing for the Congress, which includes representatives from Taiwan, Hong Kong and overseas Chinese mathematicians. The Committee, together with the Department of Planning and Financial Affairs of the China Association for Science and Technology, has drawn up a budget (see right) and submitted it to the Chinese authorities involved. We are pleased to report that the Ministry of Science and Technology, the Ministry of Finance, the Ministry of Education, the National Natural Science Foundation of China, the Government of Beijing Municipality and the Chinese Academy of Sciences have joined together to give a financial guarantee for ICM-2002 to be held in Beijing. As the first host from the developing countries, we intend to provide as much fellowship as possible for young and mature mathematicians from developing countries (totaling at least 160) and for mathematicians from Eastern Europe (at least 150).
