Description

Explore the deep connection between science and national identity in Reviving Ancient Chinese Mathematics. This book examines the complex struggle of twentieth-century China as it attempted to gain global power and wealth through modern institutions while trying to preserve its unique historical identity. Part of the Needham Research Institute Series, this work demonstrates how the search for a Chinese way of life reached into the core of science and mathematics. It focuses on the work of Wu Wen-Tsun to show how even the most technical fields are shaped by the political and cultural goals of a nation. This text provides a unique look at how philosophers, writers, and politicians worked to reconcile traditional values with the rapid changes of the modern era. It is an essential read for those interested in the history of science, Chinese politics, and the development of mathematical thought within a cultural context.
