李之藻对于西方几何传入我国的贡献
Studies on the Contribution of Li Zhizao to the Introduction of Western Geometry into China
-
摘要: 李之藻被称为明末天主教在我国开教的一柱石,其在与西方传教士接触的过程中不仅给国人介绍了大量西方宗教知识,而且还介绍和翻译了大量西方科技知识,特别是关于西方几何的知识。这其中不仅有《几何原本》中的内容、阿基米德研究过的内容,而且还有西方早期画法几何等,因此,他的工作完全可以与徐光启的传播工作相媲美。Abstract: Li Zhizao is acclaimed as the mainstay of Christianity in China in the late Ming dynasty. He introduced not only religious knowledge but also western scientific knowledge, especially western geometry, into China, when he was affiliated with western missionary. The geometry he introduced not only included the content of Euclid's elements, Archimedes' geometry, but also early western projective geometry and descriptive geometry. Therefore, his work emulated that of Xu Guagqi.
