【摘要】：明末传教士邓玉函以毕的斯克斯1612年版《三角法》为底本,并采用斯蒂文著作《数学记录》中部分内容,编译出中国第一部三角学著作《大测》,将欧洲当时最新、最重要的三角学成果介绍到中国,对中国三角学影响极大。其造表所用的六宗三要二简法,成为17—18世纪中国三角函数造表法的模式。对《大测》诸版本进行梳理可知,《崇祯历书》本成书最早,《西洋新法历书》本影响最大,《新法算书》文津阁本讹误最少。浙江图书馆藏文澜阁《四库全书》中的《大测》实为丁丙补抄而成。除《新法历书》本和丁氏补抄本外,其他历次重修都对《大测》内容有所订正,体现出编纂人员工作认真,同时也具备一定的数学素养。文章通过《大测》底本与版本的研究,展现出该书更真实的动态演变过程,藉此窥得《崇祯历书》在清代的沿革。研究也将对《大测》乃至《崇祯历书》的校勘工作有所助益。
[Abstract]:Deng Yu-letter, a missionary in the late Ming Dynasty, based on the 1612 edition of the Triangle method of Bix, compiled China's first trigonometry book, the Great Survey, using some of the contents of Steven's book "Mathematical Records", bringing Europe up to date at that time. The most important trigonometry achievement introduced to China has a great impact on Chinese trigonometry. The six cases, three important and two simple methods used in making tables have become the model of Chinese trigonometric table making in the 17-18 th century. Combing the various versions of "Great Test", we can see that the "Chongzhen Calendar" is the earliest, the "Western New Calendar" has the greatest influence, and the "New Law Book" has the least error. Zhejiang Library Collection Lancet "Siku" in the "Great Test" is actually made up of Ding-Pang. With the exception of the New Calendar and Ding's supplementary transcripts, the contents of the Great Test have been revised in all other reconstructions, reflecting the serious work of the compilers and at the same time having a certain degree of mathematical literacy. Based on the study of the original and edition of the book, this paper shows the more true dynamic evolution of the book, and then finds out the evolution of the Chong Zhen Calendar in the Qing Dynasty. The study will also be helpful to the collation of the Great Survey and even the Chongzhen Calendar.
