In a sense approximation was not regarded as important by the Chinese and they never became obsessed by the "squaring the circle" type of question like the ancient Greeks, since the Chinese approach was more practical and never axiomatic.
Sa isang kahulugan approximation ay hindi regarded bilang mahalaga sa pamamagitan ng mga Intsik at sila ay hindi kailanman naging nahuhumaling sa pamamagitan ng mga "squaring ang bilog" uri ng mga tanong tulad ng mga sinaunang Greeks, dahil sa ang Chinese diskarte ay mas praktikal at hindi kailanman axiomatic.
