Math in Ancient China James Logan Mural In Ancient China mathematics was known as suan chu, the art of calculation. China has had many periods marked by competition and war between dynasties and invaders. Yet through all of these difficult times, mathematics was continually being discovered and refined. Magic Squares had been discovered by Yu the Great around 2000 BC. The Pythagoras theorem had been discovered between 1000-500 BC, with square and cube roots, systems of linear equations, volume of a pyramid and the measurement of a circle understood and used from 300-0 BC. By the year 1000 AD, the Chinese had invented seismographs to measure earthquakes. They had a magnetic needle and used it for navigation in 1119. They were familiar with the laws of signs (negative numbers) by about 1299 AD. The first true evidence of Chinese mathematics was found on tortoise shells in China. Numeration symbols were etched on tortoise shells and flat cattle bones dated from the Shang dynasty in the 14th century BC. These symbols contained both tally and code symbols which are based on a decimal system. This proves the Chinese mathematicians were one of the first cultures to use a decimal numeration sysyem. The Shang numerals from the Shang Dynasty looked like the numbers below.

Beijing to host the International Congress of Mathematicians in 2002 The 24 th session of the International Congress of Mathematicians (ICM) will be convened in Beijing from August 20 to 28, 2002, announced a press conference held recently in Beijing. It is expected that 3,000-4,000 participants from the world over will attend the meeting. The IMC, a quadrennial meeting held under the auspices of the International Mathematical Union (IMU), is an important event for the mathematical community. At the Congress, mathematicians gather to discuss recent developments in the field, notes Prof. Ma Zhiming, President of the Chinese Society of Mathematics and a mathematician at the Academy of Mathematics and System Sciences under the Chinese Academy of Sciences. The Congress is an exciting reunion for mathematicians. At each session, one-hour plenary lectures and 45-minute invited lectures to the Congress presented by leading scientists from all mathematical field are regarded as the most outstanding results or monumental advances in the field. In addition, at the opening ceremony, Fields Medals, which are reconsidered as Nobel Prizes in mathematics, are awarded. These make it a grand event for the academic community and the public as well. From the first ICM of the last century in Paris featuring the 23 research problems for the century outlined by David Hilbert to the 1998 ICM noting for the awarding of fields Medal for Special Tribute to Andrew J. Wiles for his proof of Fermat¡¯s last theorem, the Congress has deeply impressed the public.

International Comission on the History of Mathematics (ICHM) Report on the ICHM-sponsored Day of Lectures (January 9, 02004) at the AMS-MAA meeting in Phoenix, Arizona Karen Parshall The ICHM co-sponsored (with the American Mathematical Society and the Mathematical Association of America) a day of lectures on Friday, 9 January, 2004 at the Joint Meetings held this year in Phoenix, Arizona. The session- co-organized by Joseph W. Dauben, Lehman College (CUNY), Karen V. H. Parshall, University of Virginia, and David E. Zitarelli, Temple University-drew an audience that varied during the day between 50 and 200. It was comprised of the following talks: Speaker: Maria Sol de Mora (marcharles@inicia.es), Mary Sol de Mora, Plaza Adriano, 7, Sobretico, 08021 Barcelona, Spain. Title: Analytic Geometry: Descartes versus Fermat Title: The Brachistochrone Problem and Its Sequels Abstract: To a large extent Hilbert's well-known list of problems (Paris, 1900) steered the course of mathematics in the 20th century. However, posing problems is an old mathematical tradition and there are many famous problems from the 17th century, among them the most influential Brachistochrone Problem (Johann Bernoulli, 1696). As a consequence of this problem mathematical physics (in its actual meaning) got its start by developing essential variational methods that resulted in a new branch of mathematics. Moreover, the concept of an analytic function was formulated (Joh. Bernoulli, 1697) and extended (Euler, since 1727). This lecture gives a comprehensive overview on these cornerstones of mathematics.

It had a great impact on the development of Chinese mathematics. After 1840's, many Western mathematical books, including Elias Loomis's Elements of Analytical Geometry and the Differential and Integral Calculus , Augustus De Morgan's Elements of Algebra and William Wallace's Fluxions and Algebra in the eighth edition of Encyclopedia Britannica , were translated into Chinese. Therefore, Chinese mathematicians began to be familiar with the modern symbolic algebra, calculus and some other branches of Western mathematics. At the same time, some high officials and scholars were impressed by the destructive power of Western weapons. As the skill in the manufacture of fire-arms was derived from the study of mathematics, so they energetically encouraged the study and education of mathematics. Therefore, there were many mathematicians and a great deal of mathematical works in late Qing Dynasty. By the study on these works, we can get a clear view of the Westernization of Chinese Mathematics. In this article, I would like to give a detailed study on the development of the Duoji method (the method of calculating the summation of finite series), in order to show how the method of traditional mathematics was transformed into the Western one.

Graf Takustr. 9,14195 Berlin, Germany In their contribution to this conference, BAI Shangshu and Li Di have re- ported about their rediscovery of ten calculating devices from the late 17th and/or early 18th century in the Beijing Palace Museum. They did outstanding research work on the structures and functions, the origins and manufacturing of their discoveries, which are a real treasure in the world - wide history of mechanical computing. Many questions about these Beiiing Calculating Machines (BCM) remain open. Obviously there were considerable influences from Europe. One or more machines may even have come from Europe as a gift to the Emperor of China, but it is also obvious that early developments in Chinese mathematics and tech- nology have played an important role in the making of the machines. The ten machines can be separated into two classes. In the first class, disks or gear wheels are the fundamental means for performing arithmetical operations. The wheels have ten teeth and carry circular representations of the
