奥雷斯姆关于质的强度的图示法初探

Study of Oresme's Graphic Representation of Intensity of Qualities

奥雷斯姆关于质的强度的图示法是自然数学化的关键一步,奥雷斯姆本人也因此被看作解析几何的先驱。本文简要介绍了奥雷斯姆为数学做出的这项重要贡献,讨论了质的强度的图示法的历史背景、主要内容及其历史影响和意义。

Oresme's graphic representation of intensity of qualities is a key step in the process of nature's mathematization.Oresme is also considered as a forerunner of analytic geometry for the invention of this method.This paper introduces this important mathematical contribution briefly,and whose historical background,main contents,historical impact and significance are discussed.
