General Mathematics

Mathematics has a long history. Its origins date back from practical human activities such as measuring and trading. In the "Rites of Zhou" of the Western Zhou Dynasty, mathematics is one of the Six Arts. In the Western world, mathematics originates from Greek, which means learning, study and science. In ancient China, mathematics is called "Arithmetic", which refers to the skill of using counting rods. "The Nine Chapters on the Mathematical Art" does not only refer to land area, exchange of commodities, proportional distribution, consultations on works and taxation, but it is also the first book in the history of mathematics to bring up the "System of Linear Equations" and explain the applications of "Gougu Theorem" (known as the Pythagorean Theorem). The term "Mathematics" only appeared in China until the Song and Yuan Dynasty. Chinese Abacus is highly popularized in the Ming Dynasty. In July 1935, the Chinese Mathematical Society was founded in Shanghai.
