A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur :

Although for nearly a century the greatest mathematical classics of India have been known to western scholars, and several of the more important works of the A rabs for even longer, the mathematics of China and Japan has been closed to allE uropean and American students until very recently. Even now we have not a single translation of aC hinese treatise upon the subject, and it is only within the last dozen years that the contributions of the native Japanese school have become known in theW est even by name. At the second International Congress of Mathematicians, held atP aris in ig6o, Professor Fujisawa of the Imperial University ofT okio gave a brief address upon Mathematics of the old Japanese School, and this may be taken as the first contribution to the history of mathematics made by a native of that country in a European language. The next effort of this kind showed itself in occasional articles by Baron Kikuchi, as in theN ieuw A rchief voor Wiskunde, some of which were based upon his contributions in Japanese to one of the scientific journals ofT okio. But the only serious attempt made up to the present time to present a well-ordered history of the subject in a European language is to be found in the very commendable papers by T. Hayashi, of the Imperial University atS endai. The most important of these have appeared in theN ieuw A rchief voor Wiskunde and to them the authors are much indebted.

Présentation de l'éditeur :

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
