Negotiating the conflict between progress and tradition, he found a path that not only ensured his political and personal survival, but which also brought him renown as a mathematician of international status who claimed that he stood outside the dominant western tradition of mathematics. This book traces how Wu managed to combine political success and international scientific eminence, a story which has wider implications for a new century of increasing Chinese activity in the sciences. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jiri Hudecek\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1138091855\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781138091856\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/24\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 222\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.70lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.47d","brand":"Jiri Hudecek","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48444011446527,"sku":"9781138091856","price":70.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_0c5af0c0-1c06-4941-a102-bd4d9854e189.jpg?v=1777209396","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/reviving-ancient-chinese-mathematics-jiri-hudecek-9781138091856","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
