Not sure how your stock market example reflects what you are saying. Stock market actions are merely the aggregate of its individual participants and all participants are "voting". This is particularly true in China where small in

Ah 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 tr

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

"Edit: no they were finding rational approximations to roots, which is actually pretty clever." Right they provided a general numerical method that can solve univariate polynomials of any degree. See https://zh.wikipedi

The detail of the numerical algorithm is here: https://zh.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E7%A7%A6%E4%B9%9D%E9%9F%B6%E7... As you can see Horner's method is a very important part of it because it makes the numerical steps pra

The page I linked to listed the problems posed and solved. The Chinese version is accompanied by modern notations using x,y,z... By the way the numerical solution to high order one variable polynomial was already known and given by another

The page I linked to is the actual page for Si-yüan yü-jian (《四元玉鑒》). The Wikipedia article you referred to may be slightly confusing but is not wrong. If you tried to solve a polynomial numerically, Horner's method would be handy. How

Solving particular equations are definitely possible. Abel's theorem says there is no general formula to solve the quintic and higher order polynomials.

No the headline was not wrong. One of the answers explained Horner's method and its relation to using abacus (which has a small register file, in modern lingo). However that is not the extent of the book mentioned. You can find the boo

Another reason is that China wants its domestic recycling (meaning curbside collection) industry to develop. While the processing industry can get cheaper input through importing, it lessens the interest in collecting domestic sources, gene

If every patient demands the "best" doctor then indeed no system could satisfy everyone. If instead one settles for a competent doctor, esp. for a standard case I don't see why such care can't be routinely accessed in a

Not sure favors can really save someone in time of need. They tend to help when one's trajectory is up, not down. Like banks love to loan to people who don't need to borrow.

You are welcome. This approach has worked well for me with over 10 thousand transactions tracked so far. It is very flexible as you can write your own IIR computation or match capital gains etc.
