No complete, standalone English translation of Cheng Dawei's 1592 'Suanfa Tongzong' was found in any of the searched catalogs. While the work is a foundational text in the history of mathematics and is frequently excerpted or analyzed in scholarly surveys (such as those by Martzloff and Ho Peng Yoke), these instances consist of partial translations of specific problems or methods rather than a complete rendering of the 17-volume treatise. This publication would represent the first complete English translation of the work (or the specified volume).
