Systematic Treatise on Arithmetic

Only partial translations or excerpts exist. This is the first complete English translation.

While Cheng Dawei's 'Suanfa Tongzong' (1592) is a seminal text in the history of mathematics and is extensively discussed with translated excerpts in scholarly works like Jean-Claude Martzloff's 'A History of Chinese Mathematics', no record of a complete, cover-to-cover English translation of the entire 17-volume work exists in the searched catalogs. The work is primarily known to the English-speaking world through these partial translations and historical analyses.
