During the period of national isolation, a mathematical tradition
called wasan flourished in Japan. Though virtually unknown to
Europeans before the Meiji Restoration, its practitioners, the
wasanka, produced some results comparable to (and sometimes in
advance of) those of mathematicians of the European Enlightment.
This volume, a companion to Unger's earlier translation of
solutions by Aida Yasuaki (1747-1817), focuses on problems that
Aida most likely used as a teacher. Unger explains the reasons for
believing this, and sheds further light on the intellectual milieu
in which Aida worked by discussing other books by Aida, including
one in which he describes Dutch techniques of navigation.
