From about 1800 he began to study the works of the 13th-century mathematicians Li Ye and Qin Jiushao . From these works, he found that the traditional Chinese method of solving higher-degree equations had several advantages over algebraic methods that had recently been imported from the West. Stimulated by his contemporary Wang Lai, who had criticized ancient mathematicians for their satisfaction with obtaining only one positive rational solution of a given

Give feedback Chinese Mathematicians Unravel Century-Old Mathematical Problem The Epoch Times Jun 06, 2006 (www.ims.cuhk.edu.hk) According to Mingpao News, two Chinese mathematicians have successfully completed the proof of the Poincaré Conjecture, which has been one of the great unsolved mathematical puzzles since 1904. Professor Qiu said this achievement is far more important than the Goldbach Conjecture. The mathematician Yang Le said that, as a result of the outstanding mathematical work, it is the first time that a complete proof of the Poincaré conjecture has been published in an international journal of mathematics. In the June issue of the U.S.-based Asian Journal of Mathematics, the two scientists published a 334-page paper, "A Complete Proof of the Poincaré and Geometrization Conjectures - application of the Hamilton-Perelman theory of the Ricci flow." The Poincaré Conjecture, first stated by French mathematician Henri Poincaré in 1904, is that, in topology, if in a closed three-dimensional space, any closed curves can shrink to a point, this space is topologically equivalent to the three-dimensional sphere. Like the Riemann Hypothesis, the Hodge Conjecture and the Yang-Mills Existence and Mass Gap, the Poincaré Conjecture has been rated as one of the seven "Millennium Prize problems"for proofs of which the Clay Mathematics Institute of Cambridge, Massachusetts was offering prizes of US$1,000,000 each, in May 2000.

ICSA Members Only International Congress of Chinese Mathematicians December 17-22, 2010 The International Congress of Chinese Mathematicians (ICCM) is a triennial event that brings together Chinese and overseas mathematicians to discuss the latest research developments in pure and applied mathematics. This premier congress is hosted by institutions in Mainland China, Hong Kong, and Taiwan on a rotating basis. The first congress (ICCM 1998) was held in December 1998 at the Great Hall of the People and the Morningside Center of Mathematics in Beijing. The subsequent Congress took place in Taipei, Hong Kong and Hangzhou. In the Hangzhou Congress, there were nearly one thousand participants and nearly two hundred presentations on a broad spectrum of mathematical sciences, including number theory, analysis, geometry, statistics, biomathematics, and mathematical finances. In December 17-22, 2010, the Congress will return to Beijing. ICSA members are welcome to attend the Congress. Following the ICCM tradition, the winners of the Morningside Medal of Mathematics are announced at the opening ceremony of each ICCM. The Morningside Medal of Mathematics is awarded to exceptional mathematicians of the Chinese descent under the age of forty-five for their seminal achievements in pure and applied mathematics. Medalists of 2007 are Jianqing Fan (Princeton University) and Xu-Jia Wang (Australian National University).

Math in Ancient China for Kids Math in Ancient China People in China were using written numbers by about 1500 BC, in the Shang Dynasty . This is about two thousand years later than people began to write numbers in West Asia , and more than a thousand years later than people began to write numbers in India . Nobody knows whether people in China thought of the idea to write numbers for themselves or learned it from people in West Asia or India. Chinese people counted in base ten, like people in India . But the Chinese system was more efficient. In China, people wrote the number 465 like this: 4 times the symbol for hundreds plus 6 times the symbol for ten plus 5. This way of writing numbers made it easier to do addition and multiplication than the West Asian system , which used base 60. It is possible that this way of calculating with place markers influenced later Indian mathematicians who worked out the use of zero. By 450 BC, Zu Chongzhi was able to figure out what pi was to seven decimal places. Sometime before 190 AD , people in Han Dynasty China began to use the abacus. People in the
