"The aim of this book has been to give a brief survey of the leading features in the development of the wasan or native Japanese mathematics from the earliest period to the close of the old wassan and introduction of occidental mathematics. David Eugene Smith (1860-1944) was an American mathematician, educator, and editor; Yoshio Mikami (1875-1950) was a Japanese mathematician and historian of Japanese mathematics. This book details the origins and development of mathematics in Japan, bridging the gap in our understanding of this fascinating topic between the most remote times and the 19th century. Beginning with the introduction of ideas from China in the 6th century, the author guides the reader through a thousand-year period of relative stagnation before delving into the mathematical renaissance of the 17th century, where native Japanese mathematics truly began to flourish. The book then explores the development of the soroban, a calculating device still used in Japan today that facilitated the remarkable mathematical achievements of the Edo period, culminating in the pioneering work of Seki Kowa, the "Japanese Newton".
