I don't know what your confusion is. Every problem was given in the format of "Question, Answer, Steps to arrive at the answer" in the Chinese original. Numerically solving high order polynomials was already known so was not explained. The explanations were focused on elimination of variables for simultaneous equations (which can give you high order single variable polynomials).

- fspeech 8y agoAh I see. Sorry I missed that there is a English page (actually linked to from the link referenced above). While having fewer problems than the original page it may give you a better flavor than Google Translate (and shows how far Google translate still has to go :-): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jade_Mirror_of_the_Four_Unknowns https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jade_Mirror_of_the_Four_Unknow...
