| Zhi Baonan, who was born in Zhejiang Province, was one of the prominent mathematicians in the late Qing Dynasty. Shang Yu Mathematical School Exercise was Zhi Baonan's representative work. According to the work, this thesis studies and analyses Zhi Baonan's biographical note, Exercise in detail and background. The main jobs of the thesis are as follows.Firstly, Zhi Baonan's biographical note is collected and sorted out.Secondly, the thesis studies the Shang Yu Mathematical School Exercise in detail, especially in the question of circle-measuring from a right triangle and in the question of tangencies on circles, and evaluates Zhi Baonan's achievements.Finally, comparing with other mathematical exercises, the thesis studies the background and the characteristic of Shang Yu Mathematical School as a mathematical organization.By the studies of the Shang Yu Mathematical School Exercise, we can know that Zhi Baonan, as a famous mathematician and a mathematical teacher in the late Qing Dynasty, not only grasp the western and Chinese mathematics, but also develop some of them. It also reflects the condition and method of spreading mathematics in the special period from 1898 to 1905 in the late Qing Dynasty. It helps to study the development of science in this period. |
