Mathematical culture plays an important role and influence in a powerful mathematical country;
The experiences of France, Germany, Russia and other contemporary mathematical powers all enlighten us that the popularization and attention of mathematics in the whole society is of great significance to the development of mathematics in a country and even the improvement of the comprehensive national strength of the whole country.
At present, the soil of China's mathematical culture is not deep enough, the public's understanding and interest in mathematical research is very limited, and professional researchers often pay less attention to outside their own research fields.
The development of ancient mathematics in China:
Among the four civilizations in the ancient world, China's mathematics has the longest lasting prosperity. In14th century BC, China's classical mathematics experienced three development climaxes: Han Dynasty, Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties and Song and Yuan Dynasties, and reached its peak in Song and Yuan Dynasties.
Unlike Greek classical mathematics, which centered on proving theorems, China ancient mathematics focused on creating algorithms, especially various algorithms for solving equations.
From linear equations to high-order polynomial equations, even indefinite equations, ancient mathematicians in China created a series of advanced algorithms (called "technology" by mathematicians in China), and they used these algorithms to solve corresponding types of algebraic equations, thus solving various scientific and practical problems that led to these equations.
Mathematical development in major countries;
1, University of G? ttingen, Germany
The University of G? ttingen has trained mathematicians from almost all over the world. Klein is the actual helmsman of the University of G? ttingen and a handsome mathematician.
Klein's popularity has attracted students from all over the world, especially from the United States. When a British youth reported the situation of Gottingen's Department of Mathematics to a friend in Cambridge, he wrote: "Our nationalities here are very mixed. Five Americans, a Swiss Frenchman, a Hungarian and an Italian, and the rest are of German descent. "
2. Russia-Moscow University
Russian mathematics began to rise from the19th century, and by the beginning of the 20th century, the Soviet Union had become one of the world's mathematical powers. 1958, the Soviet Union successfully launched the first artificial earth satellite, which shocked the whole world.
At that time, American President Kennedy was determined to catch up with the Soviet Union in space technology. He learned that one of the reasons why the Soviet Union successfully launched satellites was that the Soviet Union was in the leading position in related mathematics fields in the world.
