Mathematics professors from BMCC and New York City
Public School 34 math teachers and educators under the BMCC Fulbright-Hays Grants spent four weeks in China this Summer 2004.
During the four
weeks in China, the Fulbright participants visited more than
twenty historical sights, museums, libraries, and famous
mathematicians' special collections. They had the privilege and honor to meet with two of the most distinguished scholars of Chinese mathematics history alive today, Professors Shen Kangshen,
primary author of The Nine Chapters on the Mathematics Art, and Professor Li Di author/co-author of over fifty books on the history of Chinese Mathematics.
