Abstract
Maths city. A snapshot of Abstract: I will explore the various spaces and practices for Athenian numeracy in the 5th and 4th century BCE, and discuss rates of numeracy, and also sketch a pro fi le of who may Abstract: Thirteenth-century Chinese mathematical works attest to two interesting innovations. Qin Jiushao ’ s Mathematical Work in Nine Chapters ( Shushu Jiuzhang 數 書 九 章 , 1247) describes an algorithm solving congruence equations in ways related to the so-called ‘ Chinese remainder theorem ’ . Moreover, Li Ye ’ s 李 冶 Measuring the Circle on the Sea-Mirror ( Ceyuan haijing , 1248) shows how to use polynomial algebra to establish algebraic equations solving mathematical problems. Both authors make use of the same technical expression: ‘ one establishes one heavenly source/origin as
