China: Page from a 16th century Ming dynasty edition of the Jiuzhang suanshu< / i> (Nine Chapters on the Mathematical Arts). The illustration explains a method for determining pi< / i>

'The Nine Chapters on the Mathematical Arts' is a Chinese mathematics book, composed by several generations of scholars from the 10th2nd century BCE, its latest stage being from the 2nd century CE. This book is one of the earliest surviving mathematical texts from China.<br/><br/>. It lays out an approach to mathematics that centres on finding the most general methods of solving problems, which may be contrasted with the approach common to ancient Greek mathematicians, who tended to deduce propositions from an initial set of axioms.<br/><br/>. Entries in the book usually take the form of a statement of a problem, followed by the statement of the solution, and an explanation of the procedure that led to the solution. These were commented on and advanced by the scholar by Liu Hui in the 3rd century CE.
