The Suan shu shu, as the earliest yet discovered work devoted specifically to mathematics (dated to ca. 186 BCE) from ancient China, has stirred considerable interest among Chinese historians of science. The translation and commentary offered here draw extensively on the works cited in Sect.3. Several appendices devoted to specific issues related to translating the Suan shu shu, including its title and the problem of determining English equivalents for various commodities that arise in the text, may be found in App.II.
