Ten classic books on computing

1, "Weekly Parallel Computing".

Formerly known as "Zhou Zhuan", it was stipulated as one of the teaching materials of imperial academy Mingsuan Department in the early Tang Dynasty, so it was renamed as "Zhou Zhuan Arithmetic Classic". Weekly Parallel Computing Classics is the oldest work on astronomy and mathematics in China. Written in BC 1 century, it mainly explains the theory of covering the sky and the quarter calendar at that time. The main achievement in mathematics is to introduce Pythagorean theorem and its application in measurement and how to apply it to astronomical calculation.

2. Nine chapters on arithmetic.

China's first ancient mathematics monograph, whose original author is not available for examination, has been supplemented and revised by several generations, and gradually became the final version. "Nine Chapters Arithmetic" not only mentioned the problem of fraction at the earliest, but also recorded the problem of surplus and deficiency at the earliest. The chapter "Equation" also expounds the negative number and its addition and subtraction algorithm for the first time in the history of world mathematics, and its appearance marks the formation of a complete system of ancient mathematics in China.
