Essai sur la signification mathématique des marqueurs de couleur chez Liu Hui (3ème siècle)
No full textThe commentator on the Han classic The Nine Chapters on Mathematical Procedures, Liu Hui (third century), uses five colour names in his commentary. These five names appear in two separate sets, each of which is found more than once linked with mathematical objects. I had previously suggested that the way of using the set constituted by the black and the crimson could have a specific mathematical meaning. In order to test this hypothesis, I turn in this paper to the second set, yellow, virid and vermillion, to find out whether they also have a mathematical meaning. Such is the case, which leads to several conclusions. First, this seems to confirm the idea that Liu Hui used these markers to convey a mathematical idea. This raises once more the question of how to read ancient Chinese texts. Secondly, the way he uses colours is the same in both cases. Liu Hui constructs analogies between different situations by using the same colour name to mark objects playing similar roles. The colours only receive their meanings as parts of a system, but not individually.Chemla Karine. Essai sur la signification mathématique des marqueurs de couleur chez Liu Hui (3ème siècle).

An early Chinese derivation of the volume of a pyramid: Liu Hui, third century A.D.
No full textAbstractThe Chiu-chang suan-shu (“Arithmetic in nine chapters”) is a mathematical book of the late first century A.D. It gives practical problems and states algorithms for their solution, with no explanation. A commentary attributed to Liu Hui, of the third century A.D., gives an explanation of each algorithm; these explanations satisfy many of the criteria for what we would call a proof. In this article Liu Hui's explanation of the formula for the volume of a particular kind of pyramid is translated and discussed
A Chinese mathematical classic of the third century: The sea island mathematical manual of Liu Hui
No full textAbstractThe Haidao suanjing [Sea island mathematical manual], written by the Chinese mathematician Liu Hui in 263 a.d., consists of nine surveying problems whose solution schemes involve the use of right triangle theory and result in a variety of techniques and formulas for determining distances to inaccessible points. Liu's results were obtained through the use of a prototrigonometry based on the concept of chong cha. This paper presents a translation of the Haidao's mathematical exercises and solution formulas and considers some of the implications of this early mathematical work
