Klappentext zu „Japanese Mathematics in the Edo Period (1600-1868) “
The book presents the main features of the Wasan tradition, which is the indigenous mathematics that developed in Japan during the Edo period. (1600-1868). It begins with a description of the first mathematical textbooks published in the 17th century, then shifts to the work of the two leading mathematicians of this tradition, Seki Takakazu and Takebe Katahiro. The book provides substantial information on the historical and intellectual context, the role played by the Chinese mathematical treatises introduced at the late 16th century, and an analysis of Seki's and Takebe's contribution to the development of algebra and calculus in Japan.

Rezension zu „Japanese Mathematics in the Edo Period (1600-1868) “
From the reviews: "The present volume is a very careful English translation of a book which has been first published in French in 1994. ... readers will also get from these a visual apprehension of what Japanese mathematical texts physically looked like during the Edo period. Anyone interested in Japanese mathematics and its multifarious aspects ... should first have recourse to this outstanding book in as much as his excellent critical apparatus open wide perspectives for future researches in such a domain." (Jean-Claude Martzloff, Zentralblatt MATH, Vol. 1206, 2011)
