First Complete Translation
Only partial translations or excerpts exist. This is the first complete English translation.
While the 'Suanfa Tongzong' is a foundational text in Chinese mathematics and has been extensively studied, no complete English translation of the work or specifically of Volume 3 exists. Scholarly works by Jean-Claude Martzloff and others contain significant excerpts and mathematical analyses, but these do not constitute a full translation of the primary text.

About This Book
mathematics
Step into the world of the 'most illustrious Chinese arithmetician' as he transforms the rugged landscapes of the Ming Dynasty into a precise mathematical grid. From inventing mechanical odometers to debating the infinite nature of the circle, Cheng Dawei’s third volume is where high-level philosophy meets the dirt-under-the-fingernails reality of land surveying.
