- Abstract
- After disastrous foreign invasions in 1592 and 1636, Chosun lost most of the traditional mathematical works and needed to revive its mathematics. The new calendar system, ShiXianLi(時憲曆, 1645), was brought into Chosun in the same year. In order to understand the system, Chosun imported books related to western mathematics. For the traditional mathematics, Kim Si Jin(金始振, 1618–1667) republished SuanXue QiMeng(算學啓蒙, 1299) in 1660. We discuss the works by two great mathematicians of early 18th century, Cho Tae Gu(趙泰耉, 1660–1723) and Hong Jung Ha(洪正夏, 1684–?) and then conclude that Cho’s JuSeoGwanGyun(籌書管見) and Hong’s GuIlJib(九一集) became a real breakthrough for the second half of the history of Chosun mathematics.
