丘成桐教授2010年在清华大学做过一个题为“从明治维新到二战前后中日数学人才培养之比较”的演讲。演讲中,丘教授对19世纪末至20世纪前期中日两国数学学科的发展进行了对比,特别是提到两名日本数学家,一位是菊池大麓,另一位是藤泽利喜太郎。丘教授指出,菊池大麓等人不只是把西方的数学理论带回了日本,西方的学者风气及学术传统也被一同引入日本。丘教授还指出,日本近代数学之所以长足发展,与明治新政府对数学学科及数学人才的重视也是密切相关的。~((4))不 Professor Yaucheng Tung made a speech at Tsinghua University in 2010 titled “Comparison of Talents Cultivation between China and Japan before and after the Meiji Restoration”. In his speech, Professor Chu compared the development of mathematics in China and Japan from the late 19th century to the early 20th century. In particular, he mentioned two Japanese mathematicians, one of whom was Kikuchi and the other was Hitachi Fujisawa. Professor Qiu pointed out that Kikuchi’s father not only brought Western mathematical theories back to Japan, but also introduced western scholarship and academic traditions to Japan. Professor Qiu also pointed out that the reason why the rapid development of modern mathematics in Japan is closely related to the new Meiji government’s emphasis on mathematics and mathematics. ~ ((4)) No
