Kambei Mori[1] or Script error: No such module "Nihongo".,[2] also known as Mōri Kambei Shigeyoshi[3] Script error: No such module "Nihongo".,[4] was a Japanese mathematician in the Edo period.[5]

Life and work

Some 16th-century sources suggest that Mori studied in China, but such claims are inconclusive or rejected by historians.[6] What is known with certainty is that he started a school in Kyoto and he wrote several influential and widely discussed books which dealt with arithmetic and the use of the abacus.[7]

One of his students was Yoshida Mitsuyoshi, the author of Jinkōki, which is the oldest extant Japanese mathematical text.[8]
