Analysis on Shushu Jiuzhang to its propositions about theory of numbers. (Chinese. English summary) Zbl 0623.01002

“Shushu Jiuzhang” was written by the famous Chinese mathematician Qin Jiushao in 1247. The book contains 81 problems. Ten problems deal with congruence expressions which were called “Da Yuan method”. The author analyzes the Da Yuan method of Qin Jiushao by modern Number Theory and shows that Qin’s works are identical with certain works of L. Euler, J. L. C. Lagrange and C. F. Gauss.
