Who said the seven masterpieces of mathematics?
The term "seven famous mathematical works" is generally considered to have been put forward by Chinese mathematician Hua. Hua is one of the important representatives of modern mathematics in China, and his contribution to mathematics in the 20th century is extremely outstanding. 195 1 Hua published an article entitled "Several Problems in China's Mathematical Career" in the first issue of Mathematical Translation Series, in which the concept of "seven mathematical masterpieces" was mentioned. According to Hua's point of view, he named seven important works in China's traditional mathematics as "Seven Famous Mathematics Books". These seven books are Nine Chapters of Arithmetic, Arithmetic Classics on the Island, Arithmetic Classics of Zhang Qiu, Arithmetic Classics of Sun Tzu, Arithmetic Classics of Zhou Pi's Love and Nine Chapters of Several Books. These works include China's important achievements in ancient mathematics fields such as arithmetic, algebra and geometry, and have had a far-reaching impact on the development and inheritance of ancient mathematics in China. It is worth noting that "Seven Masterpieces of Mathematics" is not a concept widely circulated in the world, but it is mainly used and discussed in the field of mathematics in China. To some extent, this term shows that China attaches importance to and popularizes China's traditional mathematics.
