摘要
李锐的《日法朔余强弱考》及顾观光的"补遗",是清代学者研究调日法的重要著作,它长期受到天算史界的重视与推崇。但是,作为一项天算史的考证之作,它无疑是有重大的失误。本文的考证表明,李锐所推测的"调日法术"是不能确认为古代何承天的本法的。
An Examination into Majorant Number and Minorant Number of the Lunar Month by Li Rui and its 'Addenda' by Gu Guanguang are two important works on the study of the method of regulating the day-ratio by scholars in the Qing Dynasty. They have long been valued and held in esteem by historians of astronomical mathematics. As research works on the history of astronomical mathematics, these two hooks undoubtedly contain serious errors. This article shows that 'the algorithm for the method of regulating the day-ratio' proposed by Li Rui cannot be affirmed as the original method of He Chengtian, a famous astronomer and mathematician in ancient China.
