中国现代数学本土化研究——基于1906-1950年出版著作的统计分析

Localization of Modern Chinese Mathematics--A statistical analysis based on publications of 1906-1950

以1906-1950年间我国数学家在国内外出版的数学著作为例,运用统计、文献计量法与史料分析等方法,分析研究各数学领域出版概况、核心作者群、重要作者等,并以此探讨我国现代数学本土化的发展历程及特征。研究表明,数学著作出版具有以下特点:以科普为主,逐渐发展;以教科书为首,译著开始,逐渐自主编著;从不成熟到成熟,质量不断提高。在这一历程中,商务印书馆、中华书局等出版机构为中国数学现代化与本土化作出极大贡献。

Taking the mathematical works published by Chinese mathematicians at home and abroad from 1906 to 1950 as an example, this paper uses the methods of statistics, bibliometrics and historical data analysis to analyze the publishing situation, core authors and important authors in various fields of mathematics, and further explores the development process and characteristics of the localization of modern mathematics in China. The research shows that the publication of mathematical works has the following characteristics: science popularization is the mainstream with development being gradual;textbooks are the first translation works to be replaced by independently edited works;from immaturity to maturity, the quality is constantly improving. In this process, publishing institutions such as Commercial Press and China Book Bureau have made great contributions to the modernization and localization of mathematics in China.
