The Nine Chapters on the Mathematical Art
The geometric figures included in "The Nine Chapters on the Mathematical Art" are mostly straight and circular figures because of its focus on the applications onto the agricultural fields. In addition, due to the needs of civil architecture, "The Nine Chapters on the Mathematical Art" also discusses volumetric algorithms of linear and circular 3 dimensional solids. The arrangement of these volumetric algorithms ranges from simple to complex, forming a unique mathematical system.
