Abstract

This essay explores the significance of traditional Chinese mathematics culture and its differences compared to Western mathematics. While mathematics is recognized as a vital cultural force in human civilization, the research on mathematical culture has often overlooked the rich heritage of Chinese mathematics. By delving into the history of mathematics culture and examining the development directions and structural pursuits of ancient Chinese and Western mathematics, this paper aims to highlight the contrasting value orientations of mathematics and uncover the reasons behind these differences. Through the analysis of mathematical values, the study sheds light on the distinct mathematical cultures of China and the West.
