The similarities and differences between ancient Chinese and Western mathematics are described, and

In my opinion, our ancestors now studied mathematics mainly close to life and paid attention to use; Whereas ancient mathematics in the West was mainly theoretical.

Characteristics of Chinese Mathematics and Its Impact on the World Characteristics of Chinese Mathematics.

1) Algorithm-centered, belongs to applied mathematics Chinese mathematics is not divorced from the reality of social life and production, with the goal of solving practical problems, and mathematical research is centered on the establishment of algorithms and the improvement of computing technology.

2) It has a strong social character In traditional Chinese mathematical culture, mathematics is one ---of the six arts (etiquette, music, archery, royalty, calligraphy, and mathematics) cultivated by Confucian scholars, and its role is to "pass the gods, follow life, pass through the world, and resemble all things", so traditional Chinese mathematics is always branded with Chinese philosophy and ancient academic thought, and is often intertwined with mathematics At the same time, mathematics education and research are often controlled by feudalism. Mathematicians throughout the ages have tended to be astronomical, and these examples fully reflect this nature.

3) Rational in calculation, theory is highly generalized Because traditional Chinese mathematics focuses on solving practical problems, and because of the decision of Chinese comprehensive and inductive thinking, traditional Chinese mathematics does not care about the formalization of mathematical theories, but this does not mean that Chinese tradition only stays at the empirical level and has no theoretical achievements In fact, the algorithms of Chinese mathematics contain the theoretical basis for establishing these algorithms, and Chinese mathematicians are accustomed to basing mathematical concepts and methods on a few self-evident and intuitive mathematical principles, such as "rate" in algebra The theory of plane geometry, the principle of "entry and exit complementation", the "yang horseman" in solid geometry, the "cross-section principle" (or Liu Zu's principle, that is, Cavaleri's principle) in the theory of surface bodies, and so on.

The Influence of Chinese Mathematics on the World There are two basic tasks of mathematical activity--- proof and calculation, the former is due to the acceptance of the axiomatic (deductive) mathematical cultural tradition, and the latter is due to the acceptance of the mechanized (algorithmic) mathematical cultural tradition In the world mathematical cultural tradition, Greek mathematics represented by Euclid's Geometry is undoubtedly the foundation of the Western deductive mathematical tradition, while Chinese mathematics represented by the Nine Chapters of Arithmetic is undoubtedly the foundation of the Eastern algorithmic mathematical tradition. Jointly promoted the development of the world's mathematical culture Chinese mathematics spread to India and the Arab region through the Silk Road, and later to the West through the Arabs and has been influencing the development of mathematics in Asian countries such as Japan, the Korean Peninsula, and Vietnam in the Chinese character cultural circle.

The main characteristics of Dongfeng mathematics: 1. It has practicality and strong sociality; 2. Algorithms, programmatic and modeling; 3. Reasoning and arithmetic, and it is an open inductive system.

The main characteristics of Western mathematics are: 1. The algorithm of seasonalization of the closed logical deduction system; 2 Ancient Greek numerals combined with mystery; 3. Abstract mathematics; 4 Greek mathematics valued the aesthetic significance of mathematics.

The Greeks' contributions to mathematics were mainly the creation of plane geometry, solid geometry, plane and spherical trigonometry, and number theory. Arithmetic and algebra were promoted.

Oriental mathematics focuses on practicality and sociality, making mathematics closely related to our lives, both of which have promoted the development of modern mathematics and created a precedent for mathematics. (ENDS).

In fact, there is really no way to compare ancient China with ancient Greece in natural sciences such as physics and chemistry, and Chinese mathematics in the same period is indeed inferior to ancient Greece. Because of the contention of a hundred schools of thought in China during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, it was not the logical schools such as Gongsun Longzi that were dominant, and these schools did not develop. But the whole of ancient Chinese mathematics is not necessarily inferior to that of ancient Greece.

For example, there are many mathematical achievements such as the discovery of pi, Yang Hui's triangle, "Nine Chapters of Arithmetic", "Zhou Ji Sutra", and "Chinese Remainder Theorem", and many discoveries are hundreds or even thousands of years earlier than those in the West. It's a little worse than ancient Greece, but it's 10,000 times worse.

China is biased towards numerical calculations, while ancient Greece is biased towards logical argumentation.
