Yigu Yanduan
''Yigu yanduan'' (益古演段 Old Mathematics in Expanded Sections) is a 13th-century mathematical work by Yuan dynasty mathematician Li Zhi. Overview ''Yigu yanduan'' was based on Northern Song mathematician Jiang Zhou's (蒋周) ''Yigu Ji'' (益古集 Collection of Old Mathematics) which is not extant. However, from fragments quoted in Yang Hui's work ''The Complete Algorithms of Acreage'' (田亩比类算法大全), this lost mathematical treatise ''Yigu Ji'' was about solving area problems with geometry. Li Zhi used the examples of ''Yigu Ji'' to introduce the art of Tian yuan shu to newcomers to this field. Although Li Zhi's previous monograph ''Ceyuan haijing'' also used Tian yuan shu, it is harder to understand than ''Yigu yanduan''. ''Yigu yanduan'' was later collected into '' Siku Quanshu''. ''Yigu yanduan'' consists of three volumes with 64 problems solved using Tian yuan sh] in parallel with the geometrical method. Li Zhi intended to introduce students to th ...

Counting Rod H1
Counting is the process of determining the number of elements of a finite set of objects, i.e., determining the size of a set. The traditional way of counting consists of continually increasing a (mental or spoken) counter by a unit for every element of the set, in some order, while marking (or displacing) those elements to avoid visiting the same element more than once, until no unmarked elements are left; if the counter was set to one after the first object, the value after visiting the final object gives the desired number of elements. The related term ''enumeration'' refers to uniquely identifying the elements of a finite (combinatorial) set or infinite set by assigning a number to each element. Counting sometimes involves numbers other than one; for example, when counting money, counting out change, "counting by twos" (2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, ...), or "counting by fives" (5, 10, 15, 20, 25, ...). There is archaeological evidence suggesting that humans have been countin ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Counting is the process of determining the number of Element (mathematics), elements of a finite set of objects, i.e., determining the size (mathematics), size of a set. The traditional way of counting consists of continually increasing a (mental or spoken) counter by a 1, unit for every element of the set, in some order, while marking (or displacing) those elements to avoid visiting the same element more than once, until no unmarked elements are left; if the counter was set to one after the first object, the value after visiting the final object gives the desired number of elements.

Square Root Of 2
The square root of 2 (approximately 1.4142) is a positive real number that, when multiplied by itself, equals the number 2. It may be written in mathematics as \sqrt or 2^, and is an algebraic number. Technically, it should be called the principal square root of 2, to distinguish it from the negative number with the same property. Geometrically, the square root of 2 is the length of a diagonal across a square with sides of one unit of length; this follows from the Pythagorean theorem. It was probably the first number known to be irrational. The fraction (≈ 1.4142857) is sometimes used as a good rational approximation with a reasonably small denominator. Sequence in the On-Line Encyclopedia of Integer Sequences consists of the digits in the decimal expansion of the square root of 2, here truncated to 65 decimal places: : History The Babylonian clay tablet YBC 7289 (c. 1800–1600 BC) gives an approximation of in four sexagesimal figures, , which is accurate to about six ...
