Double-entry bookkeeping is the predecessor of matrix calculus/algebra. It was often considered[1] to be first published in Luca Pacioli's Summa de arithmetica, geometria, proportioni et proportionalita[2]. Arthur Cayley wrote a short book[3] on this topic.
Symmetry and Relations
To realize why Double Entry Bookkeeping is grounded in many profound ideas, one may start with Yoneda Lemma, a concept that can be summarized as Tai-Danae Bradley's statements on her blog[4]:
1. Mathematical objects are completely determined by their relationships to other objectsCite error: Invalid<ref>tag; invalid names, e.g. too many. 2. The properties of a mathematical object are more important than its definitionCite error: Invalid<ref>tag; invalid names, e.g. too many.
The two statements above show that Double-Entry Bookkeeping is a numeric version of content invariance/symmetry over time.
To find an earlier account on the history and origin of Double Entry Bookkeeping, one can read Edward Peragallo's book[5]. More recently, Jane Gleeson-White, published a book[6][7] on Double Entry Bookkeeping. To learn a bit more of the original text and how was it written, a paper[8] on the book was published in June 2008.
A partial translation of the original Pacioli book can be found in John Geijsbeek's book[9].
Double Entry bookkeeping inspired Matrix Algebra and later Quantum Physics
This historical relationship has been documented in many well known publications[10][11][12] and A Theory of Justice[13].
