The use of the abacus was expanded and refined.
During the Ming period the suanpan (abacus) became more widely used and improved for commercial and governmental calculations; Ming scholars and officials also adopted and integrated new mathematical methods (including some Western ideas late in the dynasty), but algebra and the concept of zero were developed earlier and not first invented then.
