Information About

Elias Loomis





In 1859 Alexander Wylie , assistant director of London Missionary Press in Shanghai, in cooperation with fellow Chinese scholar Li Shan Lan , translated Elias Loomis's book on Geometry, Differential and Integral Calculus in to Chinese; the Chinese text was subsequently translated twice by Japanese scholars into Japanese text and published in Japan. Elias Loomis thus played an important role in the transfer of analytical mathematical knowledge to the Far East.
