One of the earliest and most influential pieces of mathematical literature from ancient China is the Chiu-chang Suan Shu or The Nine chapters on the Mathematical Art. This treatise is a complication of centuries of mathematical knowledge that have been conveyed through the generations by many Chinese figures that have worked in mathematics or in the applications of mathematics. A few prominent figures are known in modern knowledge as contributors to the Chiu-chang Suan Shu but many of the authors have been lost in time. The The Nine Chapters provides a foundation that supported the growth of Chinese and Eastern Mathematics.
