田渠与其主编的中国第一部《相对论》教科书

Tian Qu and his edited first Relativity textbook in China

目的研究留法学生田渠的学术成就,为研究近代中国科学传播史提供线索。方法采用原始图书、期刊文献分析法。结果田渠留学法国,师从法国天体物理学家和空间科学家迪费(DuFay,1896—1967),对天体照相光学性质有深入研究,在国外发表论文11篇。回国后曾在云南大学、湖南大学、贵州大学、西北大学等校执教,主要研究原子物理、核物理,发表论文2篇,著有中国第一部《相对论》大学教科书。结论 20世纪40年代,田渠有关中子模型、核子模型和中子磁矩的计算在世界上具有前瞻性。1948年主编的《相对论》大学教材,对狭义相对论和广义相对论作了准确的讲解,代表了国人对爱因斯坦相对论理论传播与吸收的突破。

Aim To Research the academic achievements of Tian Qu who studied in France, provide new clues for studying modern history of science communication in China. Methods Original books, journals literature analysis. Results Tian Qu studied in France under the tutelage of French astrophysicist and space scientist Du Fay （ 1896- 1967）, did in-depth study on the optical properties of astrophotography, published 11 papers in foreign journals. After returning to teaching to China, he has taught in Yunnan University, HuMan University, Guizhou University and Northwest University, his main research covered atomic physics and nuclear physics, published two papers, edited the first textbook ＂relativistic＂ in China. Conclusion In 1940s, Tian Qu researched about neutron model, nuclear model and neutron magnetic moment calculations, which were forward-looking in the world. He edited the first textbook ＂Relativity＂ in which special relativity and general relativity were accurately explained, It and nuclear physics the breakthrough on the absorption of Einstein＇s relativity theory.
