| {{nihongo|'''Takebe Katahiro'''|建部 賢弘||1664 - August 24, 1739}}, also known as '''Takebe Kenkō''', was a [[Japan]]ese [[mathematician]] in the [[Edo period]].<ref name="smith146">Smith, David. (1914). {{Google books|J1YNAAAAYAAJ|''A History of Japanese Mathematics,'' p. 146. |page=146}}</ref>
| |
| | |
| ==Biography==
| |
| Takebe was the favorite student of [[Seki Takakazu]]<ref name="smith146"/> Takebe is considered to have extended and disseminated Seki's work.<ref>[http://www.britannica.com/eb/article-9384143/Takebe-Katahiro "Takebe Katahiro," ''Encyclopædia Britannica'' online.]</ref>
| |
| | |
| In 1706, Takebe was offered a position in the [[Tokugawa shogunate]]'s department of ceremonies.<ref name="smith146"/>
| |
| | |
| In 1719, Takebe's new map of Japan was completed; and the work was highly valued for its quality and detail.<ref name="smith146"/>
| |
| | |
| [[Shogun]] [[Tokugawa Yoshimune|Yoshimune]] honored Takebe with rank and successively better positions in the shogunate.<ref>Jochi, Shigeru. (1997). "Takebe Katahiro," {{Google books|raKRY3KQspsC&dq|''Encyclopaedia of the History of Science, Technology, and Medicine in Non-Western Cultures,'' p. 932. |page=932}}</ref>
| |
| | |
| ==Legacy==
| |
| Takebe played critical role in the development of the [[Enri]] ({{lang|ja-Hani|円理}}, "circle principle") - a crude analogon to the western [[calculus]]. He also created charts for trigonometric functions.<ref name="msj_takebe">[http://mathsoc.jp Mathematical Society of Japan], [http://mathsoc.jp/en/pamph/current/takebe_pr.html Takebe Prize]</ref>
| |
| | |
| He obtained power series expansion of (arcsin(x))^2 in 1722, 15 years earlier than Euler.
| |
| This was the first power series expansion obtained in Wasan. This result was first conjectured by heavy numeric computation.
| |
| | |
| He used [[Richardson extrapolation]], about 200 years earlier than Richardson.
| |
| | |
| He also computated 41 digits of <math>\pi </math>, based on polygon approximation and Richardson extrapolation.
| |
| | |
| ===Takebe Prizes===
| |
| In the context of its 50th anniversary celebrations, the [[Mathematical Society of Japan]] established the Takebe Prize and the Takebe Prizes for the encouragement of young people who show promise as mathematicians.<ref name="msj_takebe"/>
