Mathematics emerged independently in China by the 11th century BCE. [1] The Chinese independently developed a real number system that includes significantly large and negative numbers, more than one numeral system (binary and decimal), algebra, geometry, number theory and trigonometry.
Jia Xian (simplified Chinese: 贾宪; traditional Chinese: 賈憲; pinyin: Jiǎ Xiàn; Wade–Giles: Chia Hsien; ca. 1010–1070) was a Chinese mathematician from Kaifeng of the Song dynasty. He described Pascal's triangle during the 11th century.
Mathematics in China emerged independently by the 11th century BC, [28] but has much older roots. The ancient Chinese were acquainted with astronomical cycles, geometrical implements like the rule, compass, and plumb-bob, and machines like the wheel and axle.
Decimal fractions: decimal fractions were used in Chinese mathematics by the 1st century AD, as evidenced by The Nine Chapters on the Mathematical Art, while they appear in the works of Arabic mathematics by the 11th century (most likely independently of Chinese influence) and in European mathematics by the 12th century, although the decimal ...
With a history spanning over three millennia, Chinese mathematics is believed to have initially developed largely independently of other cultures. This is a dynamic list and may never be able to satisfy particular standards for completeness.

The basic equipment for carrying out rod calculus is a bundle of counting rods and a counting board. The counting rods are usually made of bamboo sticks, about 12 cm- 15 cm in length, 2mm to 4 mm diameter, sometimes from animal bones, or ivory and jade (for well-heeled merchants).
Fangcheng (sometimes written as fang-cheng or fang cheng) (Chinese: 方程; pinyin: fāngchéng) is the title of the eighth chapter of the Chinese mathematical classic Jiuzhang suanshu (The Nine Chapters on the Mathematical Art) composed by several generations of scholars who flourished during the period from the 10th to the 2nd century BC.
