This application has received broad support not only from CMS members but also from the Chinese Government and the institutions concerned. In ancient China, brilliant achievements were made in mathematics. In this century, modern mathematics has also witnessed fair spread and healthy development in China. In this process, Prof. Loo-keng Hua, Prof. S.S. Chern, and a number of prominent Chinese mathematicians have made outstanding contributions. In the past decade or so, special progress in research and education of mathematics has been achieved, and academic exchanges were considerably increased between Chinese mathematicians and their overseas counterparts.

HomePage English Education in China September China to Turn into World Math Power Li Yan The International Congress of Mathematicians (ICM) 2002 is going to be held in China next August. With a history of more than 100 years since its inauguration it will be a gala of math science to be held at the world's highest level. Mathematicians' invitation reports are generally regarded as representatives of great achievements and progress made in the field of worldwide math science. The ICM 2002 which is going to be held in Beijing next August will invite 11 Chinese mainland mathematicians to give reports, moreover, another 14 overseas Chinese mathematicians and those from Hong Kong, Macao will also be invited to give reports. It is unprecedented for China to invite so many famous mathematicians. Some predict that China will become a math power in the coming five years. Math Drives China to Develop Math is the basis of all subjects. There will be no natural science or social science to speak of when they can do without math's application. Chinese famous mathematician Hua Luogeng ever gave a description of math's application: the vast universe, tiny particle, fast rocket, changes of the earth, the mystery of biology and many other things, math's roles are omnipresent. Math is pushing China to make steady progress, acquiring greater and more application fields with computer technology as in the field of economy, social development, resources allocation and planning, structure adjustment, engineering design and construction, products development and manufacturing, quality control, information processing, environmental protection, geometry design and national defense. It will help China on the way to move into a high-tech period characteristic of high quality, high efficiency, high precision, high speed.

26. Development Of Math In China3 The Chou Pei was not an isolated academic text shared only by a fewancient chinese mathematicians. The principles in the text were http://www.saxakali.com/COLOR_ASP/developcm3.htm

Development of Mathematics in Ancient China Chinese Math Texts The history of Chinese math and mathematicians was mostly lost or destroyed over the centuries. For example, the despotic emperor Shih Huang-ti of the Ch'in dynasty (221-207 B.C.) ordered the burning of books in 213 B.C. Scholars in the following Han period (206 B.C. to 220 A.D.) had to transcribe China's literary and scientifice traditions from memory or remaining fragments of scroll. Knowledge of astronomy and other areas was often handed down from father to son, and only later recorded in texts. Unfortunately, very few texts dedicated to mathematical astronomy have survived. Since the 16 century, Chinese math history has also been denied and ignored in the Western dominance of science and technology, both inside and outside China. However, there are several existing Chinese applied mathematics texts, which are collections of problems and solutions organized in chapters according to their practical applications. These texts proves that the Chinese were the first society to use some of the most basic and advanced mathematical principles and concepts utilized in modern times. Two of these texts are the Chou Pei and Chiu Chang. Chou Pei The oldest existing Chinese texts containing formal mathematical theories were produced during the Han period. The

Chinese Value of PI The earliest known value for "pi" in China is 3, which was used as far back as the 12 century B.C. By the first century AD, the Chinese had calculated the value of " pi " to 3.15147; by the 3rd century to 3.141024 by Liu Hui; and in the fifth century to 3.1415929 by Tsu Chung-chih. This accuracy was not to be arrived at in Europe for another thousand years, until the 16th century AD. Other Trends in Chinese Math The Tang dynasty (A.D. 618 to 907) set up an examination system that included math and writing. In 1084, the Suanjing Shi Shu math text was printed under the Southern Sung Dynasty. The Chinese made tremendous achievements in algebra, from solving quadratic equations to working with indeterminate equations. The development of algebra reached its peak during the later part of the Sung and and early part of the Yuan dynasties (13 and 14 century AD). After 1230, mathematics was removed from the examination for good, in favor of literary subjects. By the time of the Ming emperors in the 17 century, Western mathematical influence began to transform Chinese mathematics, which brought to an end the long history of indigenous mathematical accomplishments in China.

28. History 430AD chinese mathematicians have contributed vastly to our current knowledge ofMath. Perhaps one of the least mentioned for his work is Tsu Ch ung Chi. http://faculty.oxy.edu/jquinn/home/Math490/Timeline/430AD.html

430 A.D. Contributions from Charles and Fili Tsu Ch'ung Chi was born in Fan-yang, China in 430 AD. He was an astronomer, engineer and mathematician. In astronomy, he recommended a new calendar that he made in 463. He also found an accurate time of the solstice by measuring the length of the Sun's shadow at noon around the time of the solstice. In mathematics he found a rational approximation 355/113 = 3.14159265 to pi (3.1415927Â ). This is correct for six decimal places. Not much is known about his approximation because his book, written by his son is now lost. Tsu Ch'ung Chi and his father found the formula for the volume of a sphere by carrying out Liu Hui's suggestion.

Chinese Fraction Reducing Description: This lesson describes a method for reducing fractions used by the Chinese people as early as the first century AD. The method involves finding a common divisor, then reducing the fraction by that divisor. Curriculum Objectives: To introduce students to the concept of reducing or simplifying fractions. To show students a way to find the common divisor of a fraction. To expose students to a mathematical process from a non-European culture. Key Words: fractions simplifying fractions reducing fractions common divisor numerator denominator division Suggested Use: Chinese Fraction Reducing could be used in a basic mathematics, prealgebra or algebra course when simplifying or reducing fractions is being instructed or reviewed. CHINESE FRACTION REDUCING Near the beginning of the first century AD, about 2000 years ago, the Chinese mathematical text called the Chiu Chang was written. No one knows for sure who wrote the text, which contains nine chapters of mathematical topics important to Chinese society at the time. Problems and solutions are presented in the text, and since the answers can be difficult to understand, different Chinese mathematicians over the years have supplied commentary and helped to make the problems and solutions clearer. The first chapter, called Fang thien (Land Surveying), is mostly concerned with calculating the areas of fields (thien) using the basic unit of measurement, the fang (square unit). This chapter also discusses methods for working with fractions, including a way for simplifying (reducing) them. If you have a reducible fraction called m/n, the rule from the Chinese text for reducing m/n is this:

However, Chinese mathematics covers a very wide range. This is hardly surprising, since a quarter of the world's population is Chinese. It is predictable that during the next quarter century the importance of Chinese mathematics will increase greatly. Although a number of Chinese mathematicians read English they may prefer to write in Chinese, either because writing is more difficult than reading or because they give the home market priority. Thus an ability to read Chinese mathematical papers will become increasingly useful. Unfortunately the Chinese language presents special difficulties to a Western reader - even consulting a dictionary is a problem! The accompanying
