Geometry vs. Algebra:Model-less Planetary Theory of the East
Prof. Nakayama discusses a hitherto unresolved problem in understanding early Chinese mathematics: the meaning of limit, mean, and true degrees in the Shoushi Ii planetary tables and subsequent commentaries. He explains prior problems in resolving this problem and his new solution. He argues for the incomensurability between the Western geometrical model and the Chinese algebraic approach. He concludes with comments upon contemporary historiography of mathematics and science.
