论文摘要
在古代，中国为世界文明，尤其是数学做出了巨大贡献。但是，包括数学在内的现代科学来到中国太晚了。第一届中国大学成立于1895年。中国的第一个数学系仅在1913年才在该大学正式开放。二十世纪初，一些中国人去了欧洲，美利坚合众国和日本在现代数学中进行高等教育，并作为先驱者返回中国。他们在中国大学创建了数学系，并在中国播下了现代数学的种子。在1930年代，十几个中国大学已经拥有数学系时，来自欧洲和美国的几位主要数学家访问了中国，包括威廉·布拉斯克（Wilhelm Blaschke），乔治·伯克霍夫（George D. Birkhoff），威廉·奥斯古德（William F.他们的访问不仅对中国的数学发展产生了深远的影响，而且有时也会成为社会事件。本文讲述了他们访问的历史。
In ancient times, China made great contributions to world civilization and in particular to mathematics. However, modern sciences including mathematics came to China rather too late. The first Chinese university was founded in 1895. The first mathematics department in China was formally opened at the university only in 1913. At the beginning of the twentieth century, some Chinese went to Europe, the United States of America and Japan for higher education in modern mathematics and returned to China as the pioneer generation. They created mathematics departments at the Chinese universities and sowed the seeds of modern mathematics in China. In 1930s, when a dozen of Chinese universities already had mathematics departments, several leading mathematicians from Europe and USA visited China, including Wilhelm Blaschke, George D. Birkhoff, William F. Osgood, Norbert Wiener and Jacques Hadamard. Their visits not only had profound impact on the mathematical development in China, but also became social events sometimes. This paper tells the history of their visits.
