Working on and with Division in Early China, Third Century BCE—Seventh Century CE

Abstract

The main text refers to line numbers used in the appendix. However, in the main text I put "line" in bold fonts and add ***, since the lines might have changed and the references made might become inaccurate. This will be revised after the English polishing. 1 The research leading to these results has received funding from the European Research Council under the European Union's Seventh Framework Programme (FP7/2007-2013) / ERC Grant agreement n. 269804 "Mathematical Sciences in the Ancient World (SAW)". This chapter has been presented, first partly, in the context of the 2013 workshop of the project SAW, on (http://sawerc.hypotheses.org/workshops/workshop-cultures-of-computation), and then in draft form during the conference that concluded the workshop, March 2013 (http://sawerc.hypotheses.org/conferences/conference-cultures-of-computation-andquantification-in-the-ancient-world and https://f-origin.hypotheses.org/wpcontent/blogs.dir/946/files/2013/03/Conference-Cultures-of-Computation-abstractsmeasures.pdf). Thanks are due to all participants, and in particular Agathe Keller and Christine Proust.
