| Research Abstract |
During this period most of our efforts were dedicated to the organization of the International Conference on History of Mathematics in Memory of Seki Takakazu (1642? ? 1708) held in Tokyo on August 25?31, 2008. Our own contributions were focused on Seki's theory of eliminations of unknowns of simultaneous algebraic equations (1683) and its later developments by Japanese mathematicians.
On the other hand, we have succeeded in finding new ways to solve the telecommunication equations by W. Thomson (1855) and those by Heaviside (1887).
