I'm glad you brought this to attention. I have edited the article for that sentence, changing to "prostrated themselves" instead of just "prostrated." Thanks, and if there is anything else, feel free to alert me on my talk page. I am working on so many other things I usually miss minor grammatical errors. I just recently nominated and passed the article for the Roman Emperor Augustus as a Featured Article as well.--Pericles of Athens^Talk 21:35, 1 September 2007 (UTC)

It's great to find so much solid information about Chinese math and science history -- much (Western) writing that I read says something along the lines of "Oh, and so & so in China discovered this a few centuries prior, but they don't count because they're Chinese. In Europe...." Then I try to track down information on so & so, and often find very little.

Hahaha! That sounds about right. :)

As to the edits and rewording, don't worry, you're fine. I looked over them, and I like what you've done. The article is a bit more polished now due to your efforts and others. I commend you for that.--Pericles of Athens^Talk 02:43, 2 September 2007 (UTC)
