4、great role in all fields. No modern scientific and technological branches could be regularly developed without the application of mathematics.反过来,数学服务于实践,并在各个领域中起着非常重要的反过来,数学服务于实践,并在各个领域中起着非常重要的作用。作用。 没有应用数学,任何一个现在的科技的分支都不能正没有应用数学,任何一个现在的科技的分支都不能正常发展。常发展。From the early need of man came the concepts
5、of numbers and forms. Then, geometry developed out of problems of measuring land , and trigonometry came from problems of surveying. To deal with some more complex practical problems, man established and then solved equation with unknown numbers , thus algebra occurred. 很早的时候,人类的需要产生了数和形的概念。接着,测量很早的
6、时候,人类的需要产生了数和形的概念。接着,测量土地问题形成了几何学,测量问题产生了三角学。为了处理土地问题形成了几何学,测量问题产生了三角学。为了处理更复杂的实际问题,人类建立和解决了带未知数的方程,从更复杂的实际问题,人类建立和解决了带未知数的方程,从而产生了代数学。而产生了代数学。Before 17th century, man confined himself to the elementary mathematics, i.e. , geometry, trigonometry and algebra, in which only the constants are considere
7、d.17世纪前,人类局限于只考虑常数的初等数学,即几何学,世纪前,人类局限于只考虑常数的初等数学,即几何学,三角学和代数学。三角学和代数学。The rapid development of industry in 17th century promoted the progress of economics and technology and required dealing with variable quantities. The leap from constants to variable quantities brought about two new branches of ma
8、thematics-analytic geometry and calculus, which belong to the higher mathematics.17世纪工业的快速发展推动了经济技术的进步,世纪工业的快速发展推动了经济技术的进步, 从而遇到需从而遇到需要处理变量的问题。从常量到变量的跳跃产生了两个新的数要处理变量的问题。从常量到变量的跳跃产生了两个新的数学分支学分支-解析几何和微积分,他们都属于高等数学。解析几何和微积分,他们都属于高等数学。Now there are many branches in higher mathematics, among which are ma
9、thematical analysis, higher algebra, differential equations, function theory and so on.现在高等数学里面有很多分支,其中有数学分析,高等代数,现在高等数学里面有很多分支,其中有数学分析,高等代数,微分方程,函数论等。微分方程,函数论等。Mathematicians study conceptions and propositions, Axioms, postulates, definitions and theorems are all propositions. Notations are a speci
10、al and powerful tool of mathematics and are used to express conceptions and propositions very often.数学家研究的是概念和命题,公理,公设,定义和定理都数学家研究的是概念和命题,公理,公设,定义和定理都是命题。符号是数学中一个特殊而有用的工具,常用于表是命题。符号是数学中一个特殊而有用的工具,常用于表达概念和命题。达概念和命题。Formulas ,figures and charts are full of different symbols.
