About This Item
Mineola NY: Dover, 2005. Reprint. Paperback. As New. unabridged republication of the MIT Press 1973 edition. 592 pages. "The core of this book consists of an in-depth study of what modern mathematicians still refer to as the Chinese remainder theorm for the solution of indeterminate equations of the first degree. This was Ch'in's most original contribution to mathematics-so original that no one could correctly explain Ch'in's procedure until the early nineteenth century. This volume's concluding study unites information on artisanal, economic, administrative, and military affairs dispersed throughourt Ch'in's writings, providing rare insights into thirteenth-century China." ; 5 3/8 x 8 1/2
