《清华学报》与中国数学史学科的奠基

Journal of Tsinghua University the foundation for history of mathematics laying

目的廓清中国数学史在高校的起源。方法原始文献调研与考证。结果主要分析1915年至1948年间《清华学报》在中国数学史、西学东渐史等方面的研究成就,特别认定叶企孙在《清华学报》第2卷第2期发表的《考正商功》等文为我国发表最早的一批中英文数学史论文。结论认为这些论文均为相关科学史分支学科的奠基之作,对促使民初科学史学科走出"私研"局限及科学史学科的社会化、建制化或制度化起到了推波助澜的作用,将其作为中学与西学、人文与科学之间的一座桥梁并融入大学通识教育,亦具特殊意义。
