Bi Suan Shu Xue, which was compiled by the American missionary Calvin Wilson Mateer (1836-1908) and Zou Liwen from Penglai in Shandong province, was the most widely used arithmetic textbook in the late Qing Dynasty. It used Arabic numerals and four operations, both generally accepted at that time, and directly used Arabic numerals in arithmetic formula. In this textbook, the presentation style was roughly in order of definitions, theorems, examples and exercises. In addition, it paid more attention to the logic of mathematical knowledge and the demands of mathematics teaching. Chinese mathematics was improved greatly due to the introduction of Western mathematics, and it also considered the tradition of Chinese mathematics. Bi Suan Shu Xue was not only widely used in Tengchow College and other missionary schools, but also became a model for other modern mathematics textbooks written in China, and was really an important example in the process of the transition from Chinese mathematics to Western mathematics in modern times. |
