The affect of Zhouyi on ancient Chinese mathematics
Abstract: It can be seen by analyzing the important works of the history of ancient Chinese mathematics,Zhouyi used to be regarded as the earliest origin of the development of mathematics by ancient mathematicians. Moreover, in some important mathematic works, mathematicians took advantage of notions related in Zhouyi to explain mathematic issues. They had made deep research on the mathematic issues in Zhouyi and obtained important achievements. All of these aspects are enough to manifest that Zhouyi had exerted important affects on the development of ancient mathematics.
Key words: Zhouyi; ancient Chinese mathematics; origin of mathematics; mathematic issues
