摘要
He Chengtian (369?-447 AD) is a famous ancient Chinese mathematician and astronomer. He proposes an iteration technique for searching for high accurate approximate values for one Moon (29 399/752 days) and one Year (365 150/608 days) respectively. This paper re-studies the He Chengtian's inequality, which might be new to the West. (C) 2003 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
