Mathematics

Chinese invented the world's oldest decimal system during Shang Dynasty. 

Since early times, Chinese understood basic arithmetic (which dominated far eastern history), algebra, equations, and negative numbers with counting rods.  Although the Chinese were more focused on arithmetic and advanced algebra for astronomical uses, they were also the first to develop negative numbers.

Ancient Chinese mathematics was known for the solution of practical problems . For instance , the “Nine-Chapter Arithmetic” contained the solutions of 246 problems listed in nine chapters , related to square fields , grains , fraction , subtraction and addition , multiplication and division , average , surplus and deficiency , equation , and right triangle , all closely related o production . In he Ming Dynasty a large number of books on arithmetic were edited .
