Walking in Mathematics World

During the Dutch rule period (1624-1662), Dutch missionaries in Taiwan used the Roman alphabet to compile a dictionary of the aboriginal language for evangelism and assist in administrative affairs. They used the Roman alphabet to teach the local people to write their language, which was the Sinkang language. The Sinkang language was later used primarily in contract documents called “Sinkang Manuscripts.” Although Sinkang adopted the Latin alphabet and Arabic numerals, it did not adopt a numeral correspondence system. For example, in Sinkang Manuscripts, “365” is written as 300605 (300-60-5). The level’s primary purpose is to let players understand the application of Sinkang Manuscripts at that time.
