英文摘要: | For a long time, it has been something of a mystery why, in Joseph Needham’s third volume of Science and Civilisation in China, a translation by Arnold Koslow of a proof of the Pythagorean Theorem was published, together with an inappropriate diagram indicating how that proof proceeded. The story of the origin of the translation, accompanied by the irrelevant diagram, is here recounted by the author of both items, along with the translation accompanied by the appropriate missing diagram for the proof, which was intended for publication but never made it. |
