Kambei Mori
<templatestyles src="Module:Hatnote/styles.css"></templatestyles>
Kambei Mori[1] or Mōri Kambei (毛利 勘兵衛?),[2] also known as Mōri Kambei Shigeyoshi[3] Mōri Shigeyoshi (毛利 重能?),[4] was a Japanese mathematician in the Edo period.[5]
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]
