The Nine Chapters on the Mathematical Art () is a Chinese mathematics book, composed by several generations of scholars from the 10th – 2nd century BCE, its latest stage being from the 1st century CE.

The full title of The Nine Chapters on the Mathematical Art appears on two bronze standard measures which are dated to 179 CE, but there is speculation that the same book existed beforehand under different titles.

Most scholars believe that Chinese mathematics and the mathematics of the ancient Mediterranean world had developed more or less independently up to the time when the Nine Chapters reached its final form.

The influence of The Nine Chapters greatly assisted the development of ancient mathematics in the regions of Korea and Japan.

He analyses the procedures of the Nine Chapters step by step, in a manner which is clearly designed to give the reader confidence that they are reliable, although he is not concerned to provide formal proofs in the Euclidean manner.

The Nine Chapters is an anonymous work, and its origins are not clear.

While its relationship to the Nine Chapters is still under discussion by scholars, some of its contents are clearly paralleled there.

The text of the Suan shu shu is however much less systematic than the Nine Chapters ; and appears to consist of a number of more or less independent short sections of text drawn from a number of sources.

Contents of the Nine Chapters are as follows:
