Takakazu Seki Kowa Seki Kowa came to be known as “the arithmetical sage.” What do you think this means? A sage in this sense doesn’t refer to the spice that belongs to the mint family, but instead refers to one who is wise and perceptive. Seki was considered “the arithmetical sage” because he was very knowledgeable skillful in mathematics and was highly respected because of his wisdom. Seki Kowa was born into a warrior, or samurai, family in March 1642, in Japan. At an early age he was adopted by a noble family and assumed the family name Seki. At an early age, about nine years old, Seki was introduced to math by a servant. From then on, Seki studied math and became self educated, now considered a prodigy. Seki collected math books from the Chinese and Japanese cultures and eventually became recognized as an expert in mathematics. This recognition led to many students for Seki to instruct. Contributions by Seki are difficult to identify due to the secrecy that surrounded rival schools in Japan. Seki was also held to the Samurai Code that demanded modesty. There is plenty of evidence that he made major discoveries in calculus and is considered to be the founder of Japanese mathematics. In 1674, Seki wrote

Sierpinski triangles are created by connecting the the midpoints of the sides of a triangle to form four smaller, interior triangles, and then repeating this process for each of the outside three triangles, ad infinitum. An example using a pyramid instead a triangle is shown on the right stamp. Stevin Simon In 1586, Simon Stevin began a book on statics and hydrostatics, De Beghinselen der Weeghconst, with the assumption that perpetual motion was impossible and that therefore any given mass of water was in equilibrium in all its parts. On this basis, he concluded that the pressure of a liquid on the base of a container depended only on depth. He also demonstrated that the center of gravity of a triangle lies on its median. He demonstrated the same for parabolic segments.
