From the Back Cover:
First published in 1914, this unique book explains the development of the study of math from ancient Japan through to that nation's then-current integration into the Western scientific world. In the beginning, Japan imported its scientific understanding from China--while little is known about the state of mathematics at the time, the words used for numbers were Chinese in origin.
About the Author:
Eventually, the Japanese began to develop their own methods and calculation machines, culminating in a golden era of wasan, or classical mathematics. Anyone interested in Japanese culture or the history of math will find this a fascinating read.
