Article Title
Mathematics with Only Rods
Abstract
We discuss in this expository paper the rod system used in ancient China based on the mathematical classic work of Sun Zi, with a focus on application to solving systems of linear equations. The mathematics involved is authentic and beautiful, and we believe it is also of interest from historical, cultural, and pedagogical perspectives.
