They also brought to Europe a deeper knowledge of Asian countries. This volume brings together a series of essays analyzing important new data on this significant scientific and cultural exchange, including several in-depth discussions of new sources relevant to Jesuit scientific activities at the Chinese Emperor's Court. It includes major contributions examining various case studies that range from the work of some indi 606 $aMathematics$zEast Asia$xHistory$vCongresses 606 $aMathematics$zChina$xHistory$vCongresses 606 $aMathematics$zPortugal$xHistory$vCongresses 615 0$aMathematics$xHistory 615 0$aMathematics$xHistory 615 0$aMathematics$xHistory 676 $a510.9 701 $aSaraiva$b Lui?s$01495475 712 12$aHistory of Mathematical Science: Portugal and East Asia 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910789348003321 996 $aEurope and China$93720419 997 $aUNINA
