This review is from: A History of Chinese Mathematics (Hardcover)
for anyone interested in the subject. The author treats both thenative tradition and the reception of Western mathematics with the highest scholarship. One of the most significant themes is the conflict between the combinatoric spirit of Chinese mathematics, akin to modern group theory and algebra, and the synthetic Euclidean system introduced by European missionaries. The initial Chinese puzzlement at what seemed an artificially contrived structure will amuse those who have endured traditional geometry and those struggling with Chinese itself. |
