希腊数学著作的传播

古代希腊是近代自然科学的发祥地之一。希腊数学对近代数学的产生和发展有着的影响。公元５世纪以后，希腊文化连接遭受致命打击，终于走向衰退。希腊学术著作屡遭动难，绝大部分被焚毁，那么，希腊数学又是怎样被保存下来，以及怎样在文艺复兴之前传入欧洲，并最终成为近代数学的基础的呢？这是数学传播史研究的一个十分重要的课题。笔者在以工作的基础上，又深入探掘，研究了大量史料，文献，基本搞清了希腊数学著作传播的概况，本

The Transmission of Greek Works in Mathematics

Ancient Greece is the birthplace of mod er n natural science. Greek mathematics excerted a decisive influence upon emergenc e and development of modern mathematics. Since the 5- th century, Greek cult ure in succession had been subjected to mortal blows, and moved towards decline, and most of Greek classics were destroyed by fire. Then, how Greek mathematics was w ell p reserved and passed to the Europe before the Renaissance, and became bas is of modern mathematics? This is an important question for study of the history of the transmission of mathematics. There are three parts in this paper. In the fir st part it is expounded that how Greek works in mathematics were passed to the A rabs.In the second part it is introduced how Greek mathematics was passed to the Europeans from 1100 to 1300. The Byzantine contribution to the transmission of Gr eek mathematics is discussed in the third part.Some valuable historical material s for Byzantine mathematics are shown in this paper.
