摘要
中国古代历法中的插值法肇始于刘焯《皇极历》(公元604年)。它的发明使中国古代历法的算法系统进入新的历史阶段,从而成为中国古代天文学史、数学史上具有划时代意义的伟大成就。文中提出刘焯太阳运动理论核心的三个假设,破解了刘焯二次等间距内插法的造术原理。
The interpolation method in ancient Chinese calendars was invented by Liu Zhuo; a famous mathematician in the Sui Dynasty; in his Huang-ji Calendar(A.D. 604). The invention brought the calculating system of ancient Chinese Calendars into a new historical stage;so it may be regarded as a great achievement of epoch-making significance.Three suppositions of Liu Zhuo's theory of solar movement are put forward; and the fundamental of quadratic equidifference interpolation method is revealed.
