    Advanced Studies in Pure Mathematics
    Volume: 792018; 561 pp
    MSC: Primary 01

    This volume is a collection of papers contributed by participants at the International Conference on Traditional Mathematics in East Asia and Related Topics, held on August 25–30, 2014, at Ochanomizu University, Tokyo, Japan. This conference was one of the satellite conferences of the Seoul ICM 2014. The year 2014 also coincided with the 350th anniversary of the birth of Takebe Katahiro (1664–1739), one of the great mathematicians of the Edo period. In his honor, the conference was called the Takebe Conference 2014.

    This volume is divided into four parts and an appendix. Part I is concerned with Takebe Katahiro, his mathematics and his times. The editors believe that wasan represents one phase of the mathematics of East Asia, especially of China, Japan, and Korea, for which ancient Chinese mathematics served as a basis, and Chinese characters as a lingua franca. Part II concerns the old mathematics of Korea in the Joseon Dynasty. Part III treats the mathematics of Ancient China. Part IV follows the subsequent development of Japanese mathematics and mathematical education after the Meiji Restoration (1868).

    The very substantial appendix contains English translations of three volumes (12, 17 and 19) of the Taisei Sankei (twenty volumes, 1711), a monograph written by the master mathematician Seki Takakazu and the two Takebe brothers, Kata'akira and Katahiro.

    Published for the Mathematical Society of Japan by Kinokuniya, Tokyo, and distributed worldwide, except in Japan, by the AMS.

    Volumes in this series are freely available electronically 5 years post-publication.

    Readership

    Graduate students and researchers.
