Mathematics In India And China In The Period 213 BCE
History of Mathematics
Compare and contrast mathematics in India and China in the period 213 BCE to 1425 CE.
India and China prepared the main contributions in the past for mathematics that has influenced mathematics in today’s day and age, with numerous discoveries that would inspire the world of mathematics to an unimaginable degree. The period 213 BCE and 1425 CE is important to examine just because we believe that this was the approximate time of the Buddhist missionaries, were they travelled with their religion to many areas with in Asia including China and Tibet in the north. Through this journey the spread of religion and culture was performed. Giving birth to the opportunity to trade ideas and thoughts, allowing the migration of books and creation of new translation meant that a rise of innovative ways of problem solving and mathematical thinking was formed. Concepts like π and 0 were created and established, and was acknowledged widely across the globe when it inhabited different nations, in comparison to such concepts of infinity took considerably longer for mankind to accept. Commencing the comparisons and the contrasts between India and China’s religion, improvements in mathematics It can be said that the thinking between the two nations have been alike as discoveries in mathematics and ideology have been through each other’s history.
The Chinese ‘counting rods forms (2nd BCE to 4th CE) this was originally short bamboo rods used in written text’1 the counting rods it was roughly around 3-14cm in length and were simple, it was done by the use of small bamboo rods arranged to represent the numbers 1 to 9 making sense for the name (Counting rods/Rod numerals) . To note the Chinese numbering system dates to 2nd BCE which is before Indian numeral system. The way the rods were positioned was important because in there where places in columns signifying the units, tens, hundreds, etc. Consequently incorporating a decimal place value system which resembles
