Zhou Biao Shu Jing was originally named Zhou Biao, and his main achievement in mathematics was the introduction of Pythagorean theorem. In the early Tang Dynasty, it was stipulated as one of imperial academy's teaching materials, so it was renamed Zhou Kuai.
2. Chapter 9 Arithmetic
It consists of 246 practical problems closely related to real life and their solutions, which are divided into nine chapters, namely square field, millet, score reduction, less and wider, business merit, occasional loss, surplus and deficiency, equation, Pythagorean and so on. The content involves arithmetic, algebra, geometry and so on. In elementary mathematics, including the concept of fraction and its operation, the calculation of proportion problem, the operation of square root and square root, the concept of negative number, the addition and subtraction of positive and negative numbers, and the calculation at the same time.
3. Elements of geometry
The Elements of Geometry is a mathematical work written by Euclid, an ancient Greek mathematician. It is the foundation of European mathematics, summarizes five postulates of plane geometry, and is widely regarded as the most successful textbook in history. Euclid used the axiomatic method. This method later became a model of establishing any knowledge system, and in almost two thousand years, it was regarded as a model of rigorous thinking that must be followed.
4. Arithmetic research
Arithmetic Research is the masterpiece of the famous mathematician Gauss, and it is an epoch-making work, ending the unsystematic state of number theory before19th century. In this book, Gauss systematically sorted out all outstanding and sporadic achievements of predecessors in number theory, actively promoted them, gave standardized marks, classified research problems and known solutions, and introduced new methods.
5. Mathematical principles of natural philosophy
Newton's Mathematical Principles of Natural Philosophy is an immortal masterpiece, which embodies Newton's spirit of exploring nature: starting from the basic laws provided by experiments, through mathematical deduction and demonstration, a complete scientific system is established to further solve various practical problems. The problems to be solved in the book promote the development of calculus.
