Heavenly Numbers
Astronomy and Authority in Early Imperial China
«This book is a welcome contribution to the literature on astronomy in early imperial China. Well written for the nonspecialist of history of Chinese science, the book nevertheless provides mathematical details, often in boxes, that set apart Cullen's lively historical narrative from technical aspects of mathematical astronomy in early imperial China.»

«The writing style is both engaging and scholarly, with many original calculations and a 14-page bibliography... This is an essential book for libraries with collections on Chinese astronomy and the history of astronomy in general.»
T. Barker, CHOICE
«Heavenly Numbers is an enlightening glimpse into Eastern mathematics and astronomy and the reader will finish the book with an appreciation of the depth of the connection between the two fields.»
