Item description from seller

Print on Demand. This book details the origins and development of mathematics in Japan, bridging the gap in our understanding of this fascinating topic between the most remote times and the 19th century. Beginning with the introduction of ideas from China in the 6th century, the author guides the reader through a thousand-year period of relative stagnation before delving into the mathematical renaissance of the 17th century, where native Japanese mathematics truly began to flourish. The book then explores the development of the soroban, a calculating device still used in Japan today that facilitated the remarkable mathematical achievements of the Edo period, culminating in the pioneering work of Seki Kowa, the "Japanese Newton". This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book.…
