They explain the sacred and devotional aspects of sangaku, and reveal how Japanese folk mathematicians discovered many well-known theorems independently of mathematicians in the West--and in some cases much earlier. The book is generously illustrated with photographs of the tablets and stunning artwork of the period. During that time, a unique brand of homegrown mathematics flourished, one that was completely uninfluenced by developments in Western mathematics. Solutions for most are provided. The authors set this fascinating travel narrative--and almost everything else that is known about temple geometry--within the broader cultural and historical context of the period. People from all walks of life--samurai, farmers, and merchants--inscribed a wide variety of geometry problems on wooden tablets called sangaku and hung them in Buddhist temples and Shinto shrines throughout Japan. Between the seventeenth and nineteenth centuries Japan was totally isolated from the West by imperial decree. A unique book in every respect,

If you knew you were dying, what would you do? And how would you help the ones you love the most with their feelings?. Mauss longs for a complete repudiation of the myths that justified the ban.

Copious illustrations and many detailed solutions show the scope, complexity, and beauty of what was tackled in Japan during the Tokugawa shogunate."--Peter J. The puzzles range from simple algebra within the grasp of any intermediate-school student, to challenging problems that require graduate-school mathematics to solve. Good books are not just written or compiled, they are crafted. The writing style is appealing and the organization of material excellent. Princeton University Press must be congratulated on producing this quality publication and offering it at an agreeable price. Campbell, Mathematics Magazine"The difficult problems with complete solutions and rich commentary that comprise the heart of this book will interest every mathematics student."--Choice"This is a marvelous book. It should be especially appealing to problem solvers."--Frank J. Swetz, Convergence"A unique book in every respect.
