Mathematics in China Table of Contents A brief outline of the history of Chinese mathematics Chronology of Mathematicians and Mathematical Works On-line References Bibliography ... Menubar access to other pages A brief outline of the history of Chinese mathematics Primary sources are Mikami's The Development of Mathematics in China and Japan and Li Yan and Du Shiran's Chinese Mathematics, a Concise History . See the bibliography below. Numerical notation, arithmetical computations, counting rods Traditional decimal notation one symbol for each of 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 100, 1000, and 10000. Ex. 2034 would be written with symbols for 2,1000,3,10,4, meaning 2 times 1000 plus 3 times 10 plus 4. Goes back to origins of Chinese writing. Calculations performed using small bamboo counting rods. The positions of the rods gave a decimal place-value system, also written for long-term records. digit was a space. Arranged left to right like Arabic numerals. Back to 400 B.C.E. or earlier. Addition: the counting rods for the two numbers placed down, one number above the other. The digits added (merged) left to right with carries where needed. Subtraction similar.

My Chinese Bookmarks Page Compiled by Gary Agranat GCA7Sky@AOL.Com Preface My interest in Chinese goes back to childhood experiences, and as well as some college experiences. I started to really learn the language around 1990when I started to learn how to read Chinese characters on my own. But instead of taking Chinese classes at that time, I took Japanese classes. The Japanese written language also happens to use Chinese characters, as does Korean. I started taking Chinese classes in 1996 at the China Institute in New York City. I have been learning both Mandarin and Cantonese. I have been exploring Chinese history and culture for a number of years. Especially after I learned how to use chopsticks and experienced eating with Chinese families, I wondered what the world can look like through Chinese eyes.

International Congress of Mathematicians Opens in Beijing At the invitation of the IMU chairman Jacob Palis, Chinese President Jiang Zemin confers the Fields Medal s to two winners at ICM2002 opening ceremony The opening ceremony of the 24th session of the International Congress of Mathematicians (ICM2002) was held on August 20 in Beijing. The current session of the ICM is organized by the Chinese Mathematics Society (CMS) under the auspices of the International Mathematical Union ( IMU T he Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) is among the eight sponsors of the Congress. At the opening ceremony, upon the invitation of IMU chairman Jacob Palis, Chinese President Jiang Zemin awarded golden medals to the laureates of the Fields Medal Prize : Prof. Laurent Lafforgue from Paris-based Institut des Hautes Etudes Scientifiques (IHES) and Prof. Vladimir Voevodsky from the Institute for Advanced Study (IAS) in Princeton The prestigious Fields Medal is considered highest honor and prize in mathematics, equivalent to that of the Nobel Prize as there is no mathematics category in the Nobel Prize awards. Also at the ceremony, Indian mathematician Madhu Sudan was awarded 2002 Nevanlinna Prize. T his is an important event for the international community of mathematicians,¡± says chairman of the ICM2002 local organizing committee Ma Zhimin

Held between Jan. 13 and 18 in Changsha, the competition, also known as the 18th Mathematics Winter Camp, was co-organized by the China Mathematical Society Olympiad Committee (CMSOC) and the First Middle School of Changsha. The eight senior secondary students, nominated by the Education and Manpower Bureau under the Support Measures for the Exceptionally Gifted Students Scheme, were among the 157 mathematically talented students from 36 teams representing different provinces and municipalities, the HKSAR and Macao SAR, and Russia. Members of the Hong Kong team shared the identity of views that CMO offered them an invaluable opportunity to interact with and learn from their mainland talented peers. It also broadened their perspective and bettered their understanding of the motherland.

A PHILATELIC DISPLAY OF THE JESUIT MISSION Jesuit Mathematicians, Scientists and Astronomers The fact that eighty countries of the world have found that the Jesuit impact on these countries deserves commemorative stamps is an emphatic endorsement of world-wide interest in Jesuits. A few copies of the hundreds of stamps concerning Jesuit apostolates have been selected and displayed on these pages. They are arranged in eight different categories with as many stamps on a page as could reasonably fit. The narratives for the stamps derive from sources such as The Jesuit Annuarium (Yearbook) and Bangert's History of the Society of Jesus. Some Jesuits fall into several categories so are mentioned more than once as long as there were different stamps for the different categories. Unfortunately many Jesuits who deserve mention were never honored by stamps. So, while this collection is not an exhaustive history of the Jesuit Society, it does indicate the world-wide interest in Jesuits. Pozzo's celebrated fresco on the ceiling of St. Ignatius provides a fitting introduction. (Joseph F. MacDonnell, S.J.) Part 1 Mathematics and Science 1. Christopher Clavius, S.J. (1538-1612)

This is not the pig that the Duchess' baby became in your arms. This pig stars in an essay by an older contemporary of Lewis Carroll (a.k.a. Charles Dodgson) one Charles Lamb (1775-1834). In his essay, "Roast Pig", Lamb pretended to explain the origin of cooking , in order to show that humans often do things the-round-about-way, for the first time and only later find shortcuts In the essay, a Chinese gentleman has a favored pig. But he must take a journey, so he encloses the pig in his house, for safe keeping. Down the road a way, the Chinese gentleman sees lightning strike his house and set it afire. Hurrying back, he arrives just as the house is "in ashes". He smells something interesting. It is the pig, roasted. He cuts off a piece and tastes it. Yummy! So, later, the Chinese gentlemman builds another house; puts a pig in it; burns down the house; and eats roast pig.
