  Wang Anshi - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Wang believed that the state was responsible for providing its citizens the essentials for a decent living standard: "The state should take the entire management of commerce, industry, and agriculture into its own hands, with a view to succoring the working classes and preventing them from being ground into the dust by the rich."
Wang Anshi also revamped the imperial examination system so that less emphasis was placed on literary style and memorization of the Chinese classic texts and more on practical knowledge, irking the Confucian scholar gentry and state bureaucracy.
They believed Wang's reforms were against the moral fundamentals of the Two Emperors and would therefore prevent the Song from experiencing the prosperity and peace of the ancients.

 Wang 362E Calculator
Wang's strategy was to convince the potential customer needing a more advanced calculator that a Wang 362E electronics package connected up to a Wang 370 or 380 "Programmer" would give them the basic features they needed, at a lower price than the competitors.
From a functional perspective, the Wang 362E is identical to the Wang 360E and other members of the 300-series, with the exception of its additional memory register capabilities.
This electronic logarithm generation circuitry is what gave Wang's first-generation LOCI calculators, and the 300-series machines the built-in scientific capabilities that bettered competitor's calculators and gave Wang Laboratories a dramatic lead in the high-end calculator marketplace from the late part of the early 1960's, though around 1968, when the competitors finally caught up.
