摘要
四元术作为中国传统数学中解多元高次方程组的巨大成就,在中国数学史上占有极其重要的地位。它的2种主要方法是“互隐通分相消”和“剔而消之”,而这2种方法又是更基本的“内二行外二行相乘相消”方法的推广。“内二行外二行相乘相消”的思想源于《九章算术》中的方程术及其刘徽注。后者通过对特定位置及其关系的确立发展了中国传统数学中的位置数学并完成了对线性方程组的求解。“内二行外二行相乘相消”方法正是对这一位置数学思想的又一发展。
Chinese Four Element Algebra was developed in the course of finding the roots of higher degree equations with several elements, and there are three main methods in it. The mathematical foundation of these methods is discussed. The conclusion is that Zhu Shijie, one of the greatest mathematicians in the history of Chinese mathematics, founded them by using some speeial positions and their constant relationship.
