Preface
My interest in Chinese goes back to childhood experiences, and as well as some college experiences. I started to really learn the language around 1990when I started to learn how to read Chinese characters on my own. But instead of taking Chinese classes at that time, I took Japanese classes. The Japanese written language also happens to use Chinese characters (and the Korean language used to). I started taking Chinese classes in 1996 at the China Institute in New York City. I have been learning both Mandarin and Cantonese. I have been exploring Chinese history and culture for a number of years. Especially after I learned how to use chopsticks and experienced eating with Chinese families, I wondered what the world can look like through Chinese eyes.

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.

The Nine Chapters on the Mathematical Art
Word: Word Starts with Ends with Definition The Nine Chapters on the Mathematical Art is a Chinese mathematics Mathematics is commonly defined as the study of patterns of structure, change, and space; more informally, one might say it is the study of 'figures and numbers'. In the formalist view, it is the investigation of axiomatically defined abstract structures using logic and mathematical notation; other views are described in Philosophy of mathematics. Mathematics might be seen as a simple extension of spoken and written languages, with an extremely precisely defined vocabulary and grammar, for the purpose of describing and exploring physical and conceptual relationships.

The Canada-China Mathematics Initiative
November 9, 1998 The 3x3 Canada-China Consortium is an exciting initiative of UBC, McGill/U. de Montreal and U. of Toronto in Canada, and of Nankai U., Peking U. and Tsinghua U. in China. Its objective is to develop close, effective linkages among these great intellectual centres in areas of common interest, so that Canadian and Chinese students and researchers can collaborate and benefit from the distinct strengths and perspectives of the partner institutions. Mathematics has been identified as a priority area for 3x3 activity, reflecting its central importance and its fundamental role throughout science and engineering, as well as in the knowledge-based economy. Senior mathematicians from China have been invited to Vancouver for a planning meeting with their Canadian counterparts during the week of Nov.16-20. Much of the planned activity will rely on the infrastructure provided by the 3 Chinese math institutes in Beijing, Tsing Hua and Nankai and the 3 Canadian math institutes: The Centre de Recherche Mathematiques in Montreal, the Fields Institute in Toronto and the Pacific Institute for the Mathematical Sciences in Western Canada. The 3 Canadian Institutes themselves represent a partnership between more than 15 Canadian universities. The project will include joint participation in institute programs as well as joint research workshops and special intensive courses for graduate students that will provide a unique opportunity for young Chinese and Canadians to understand how mathematics is taught and applied in the context of the other country. A key activity will be the first Canada-China Mathematics Congress, planned to take place in China next year when over a hundred Canadian mathematicians are expected to come to China to start this large scale collaborative effort between the two countries.

Oversea Fund Mathematical research and education in China are turning to an unusual point and experiencing a great challenge: the dynamic reform and fast economic growth are bringing about numerous development opportunities, yet difficulties and problems as well. Now, there is a need to
make joint efforts attracting good school students to choose mathematics as their preferred university department, and outstanding mathematics graduates and doctors to stay doing mathematical research and education,
raise necessary funds for the implementation of promising mathematical projects and training programs, and even
call for contributions from various societies to help the Chinese School Math Olympic Team remain on the top!
To keep Mathematics, one of the better developed foundational sciences in China, in progress with the country's economy without risk of falling behind, your help and support are needed, and are highly appreciated! Oversea Chinese, organizations and all individuals who care of China and mathematics there are kindly invited to contribute to the health, growth and regard of the mathematics profession in China by donating to the CMS Oversea Fund. Your generous donation will help enrich Chinese students, teachers, professors and practitioners in the mathematical community. Please show your concern and support for mathematical development in China by contributing to the vitality and advance of the profession and community. Your gift of $15, $25, $50 or more will be an investment in the future of mathematics of China. Please send your donation now.

Since each of the six sides of a regular hexagon inscribed in a circle of radius 1 has length 1, then P insc = 6 in this case (see Problem 1a). Likewise, since each side of a regular hexagon circumscribed about a circle of radius 1 has length , then P circ (see Problem 1b). Hence, P insc P circ /2 yields , or Archimedes then doubled the number of sides of each polygon to 12, obtaining an inscribed regular dodecagon of perimeter P insc (see Problem 1c), and a circumscribed regular dodecagon of perimeter

Double-False-Position Method"
Appearing first in the Nine Chapters on Mathematical Procedures (ca. 50
AD), the Double-False-Position Method spread from China into Central
Asia in the Middle Ages and became known as the "Khitan algorithm" among
Arabic mathematicians. Leonardo Fibonacci (1170?-1250) devoted a
separate chapter to this method in his Liber Abaci (1202). When the
Jesuits introduced Western mathematical knowledge into China in the early seventeenth century, they claimed that the Double-False-Position Method was a new technique invented by Western mathematicians and could not be found in the "old text" of the Nine Chapters . This is because ancient Chinese mathematical books had become extremely rare at that time. Therefore when the Double-False-Position Method appeared in the Tongwen suanzhi (1613) and Xijinglu (ca. 1610), it was said that "a
