Wang wensu - a famous mathematician in the Ming dynasty

Wang wensu, zi shangbin, a man from fen zhou of Shanxi Province (now fenyang city), was born in 1465 and settled in the Ming dynasty (1465-1487) as he went into business with his father in the hebei province. Wang wensu, who was born in the family of small and medium businessmen, was influenced by the society and the family. He was aware of the history of books and books. Especially for the algorithm, to pay attention to pass the card, in a lifetime of energy, completed the "xinjiantong certificate of ancient and modern mathematics treasure jian" this mathematics great book, to leave the precious wealth for later generations.

history

In the history of China, especially in the Ming dynasty, the imperial examination, the heavy work name, xi wen shangwu, the only light mathematics. There are not many people who have good poetry and good mathematics, but only a few who specialize in mathematics. So the mathematics can only be "can poetry without hunting the success" for it. Mathematical giant wang wensu should be the best of the class. He thought that mathematics was "under the sky, between the public and the private, and not one day." He did not pay attention to the situation of mathematics in the society at that time. "the ancient sage was heavy and the ordinary people could not think that the end of the six arts was the end of the art." He made the poem, "if there is no first pass, until this time," the work of the pioneers of mathematical research is highly evaluated.

In my life

Wang Wensu devoted to mathematics, think math is important, not only based on his love of math, he can "humble room find wonderful, half between gv 10 a little enlightenment mystery" seeking music really is bitter, enjoy it." This general clear meaning, how many people can know?" In the mood, there are "children not fish, know the joy of fish?" The taste of. It was enough to see that he was enjoying himself in the sea of mathematics.

achievement

Wang Wensu steadfastness, research on mathematics in 30 years "through the questions contained in the book, one by one, sounding far, fine theory research, of his when the person above, changes the error, delete the complexity, lack of repairs, principle of random, break of renewal. Multiply and divide the figure grass, locate the style, the opening section, the shortcut to the operation, make up for the song, make the vulgar solution. "Blown open pores to find fault, the ground trying to find the flow" of the spirit earnestly, xinji certificate, authentic, China established in three years (1524 years) to complete the 42 volumes of more than 300 tips, more than 1200 q and 12 volumes word poetry forms of more than 300 q, a total of more than 1500 asked nearly 500000 words of mathematics. As he said in the collection of poems:

The body is almost sixty

Take heed of the years

It is a great mental failure

Long sight makes the eyes faint

Iron inkstones wear three or two

There are several thousand of them

As the wind sweeps the sky

Show the autumn moon round

Wang wen was worthy of the praise of "pure and pure in mathematics" by the hard work and the "beyond man's watch" level.

The book of mathematics is a masterpiece of Chinese classical mathematics

The mathematical masterpiece "the book of mathematics" is only a handwritten copy of the book, the existing Beijing national library. Although the study of "the study of treasure" is only a preliminary stage, many discoveries have surprised us.

A collection of poems - wang wensu

one

In the six arts, there are three things in the world.

To measure the value of five items by means of multiplication and fluctuation.

It is the palm of the world, the world trade rice.

If there is no first transmission, it has been obscure until now.

The second

The city of the family vulgar calculation, a number of bad word misinformation.

Lu fish a hundred and three times a thousand.

Delays in the division of the cut, the confusion of the time.

Now, all calendars have been corrected.

The third

My body is almost 60 years old.

Long sight makes the eyes faint.

Iron inkstones wear three or two, and the gross cone is several thousand.

As the wind sweeps back the sky, shows the autumn moon round.

Its 4

All the families are very poor, and they play with the CARDS.

No one wants to publish his money, but no one can.

Lu Lin had to meet his father, and he had to meet bian.

A good horse is no more than a bole.

five

Mo yan is hard to understand, and he can make a great deal of it.

The extensive and thin flow into the huge sea, the long seal of the high tomb.

A thousand times more than a thousand magic spells.

Once upon a time, he entered the holy road.

Its six

Warm clothing and the food of yongxi, the theory of arithmetic.

A little bit of wisdom in the back room, a little enlightenment.

Like the moon to the heart, when the wind comes to the surface.

It is usually clear that there are several people in the world.

The seven

Among them, o 'rishi is difficult to participate in, and the elevation of the high - mouth diamond.

The four weeks of a fine trial.

There is no trace of the dangling position, and the strip has a positive turn from the open.

Humanity counts down the sheets of paper, I say like 20,000 mountains.

The eight

It is not a week for the families, so I forget to meet again.

Blow away the pores to find the current.

It is not easy to find pearls in the sea.

We will be able to give away our knowledge.

writings

A man who "has a few thousand roots" and has written a great book of nearly half a million words is the most unprecedented act in the history of China. In "Chinese ancient the math to study digital permutation and combination of vertical and horizontal figure (also called a magic square now) research, such as serial figure, YingLao figure, meet six figure and so on, its complexity is much higher than that of song dynasty Yang hui cheng dawei, the Ming dynasty, even until the qing dynasty, known as China's classical mathematics is also unique in the book, can also be said of the history of China is the most; The three-dimensional illustrations by modern axonometric drawing method was used in mapping method, the three axis Angle between axis of two 120 - degree twenty percent, is the first in China book illustrations adopts the advanced methods of work, get adviser zhao qing atlas, a professor at Beijing engineering drawing society's approval; The book to add, subtract, multiply, divide, square root from simple to complex operations, such as all is done with the abacus, or a lot of computing methods, steps and formula is designed for the abacus, the abacus experts called China's first abacus calculation book; The book of mathematics is an applied mathematics book, which is based on the reality of social life at that time. In addition to the ancient question the original copy, the book of the social circulation of commodities in rice, wheat, cotton, horses, cattle, sheep, chickens, twill, luo, hemp, silk, ginseng, red flowers, and so on price data, boat fee, foot silver and provisions, tax, tax and other economic history, and in the book of "false to qin to yan two thousand eight hundred and eighty miles" journey more precise distance data, with today. It is fair to say that the book of accounting is a valuable historical material for the social business, humanities, geography, politics, economy and so on.

The book of mathematics, which is based on the nine-chapter ancient system, is a pioneer of the song and yuan dynasty. It represents the highest level of mathematics and the value of the pearl.
