In this paper, we investigate Lee Sang Hyuk (李尙爀, $1810{\sim}?$)'s first mathematical work ChaGeunBangMongGu(借根方蒙求, 1854) and its relation with Shu li jing yun and Chi shui yi zhen. We then study an influence of western mathematics for establishing his study on algebra.

This paper is a sequel to the paper [8], where we discussed the connection between ShiShou KaiFangFa originated from JiuZhang SuanShu and ZengCheng KaiFangFa. Investigating KaiFangShu in a Chosun mathemtics book, SanHak JeongEui and ShuLi JingYun, we show that its authors, Nam ByungGil and Lee SangHyuk clearly understood the connection and gave examples to show that the KaiFangShu in the latter is not exact. We also show that Chosun mathematicians were very much selective when they brought in Chinese mathematics.
