-A


What


is


mathematics


Mathematics


comes


from


man’s


social


practice,


for


example,


industrial


and


agricultural


production,


commercial


activities,


military


operations


and scientific and technological researches. And in turn, mathematics serves the


practice


and


plays


a


great


role


in


all


fields.


No


modern


scientific


and


technological


branches could be regularly developed without the application of mathematics.



学来源于人类的社会实践,比如工农业生产,商业活动,



军事行动和科学技术研究。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。



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。


From


the


early


need


of


man


came


the


concepts


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. Before 17th century, man confined himself to the


elementary mathematics, . , geometry, trigonometry and algebra, in which only the


constants


are


considered.


很 早的时候,人类的需要产生了数和形式的概念,接着,测量


土地的需要形成了几何,


出于测量的需要产生了三角几何,


为了处理更复杂的实际问题,



类建立和解决了带未知参数的方程,从而产生了代数学,


17


世纪前,人类局限于只考虑常


数的初等数学 ,即几何,三角几何和代数。


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


mathematics----analytic


geometry


and


calculus,


which


belong


to


the higher mathematics. Now there are many branches in higher mathematics, among


which are mathematical analysis, higher algebra, differential


equations, function


theory and so on. 17


世纪工业的快速发展推动了经济技术的进步,


< p>
从而遇到需要处理变


量的问题,从常数带变量的跳跃产生了两个新的数学分 支


-----


解析几何和微积分,他们都


属于高等数学,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。


Mathematicians study conceptions and propositions, Axioms, postulates,


definitions


and


theorems


are


all


propositions.


Notations


are

tool


of


mathematics


and


are


used


to


express


conceptions


and


propositions


very


often.


Formulas ,figures and charts are full of different symbols.


Some


of the


best known


symbols of mathematics are the Arabic numerals 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,0 and the signs


of addition, subtraction , multiplication, division and equality.


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


用于表达概念和命题。公式,图表都是不同的符号……..The


conclusions


in


mathematics


are


obtained


mainly


by


logical


deductions


and


computation.


For


a


long


period


of


the


history of mathematics, the centric place of mathematics methods was occupied by


the


logical


deductions.


Now


,


since


electronic


computers


are


developed


promptly


and


used


widely,


the


role


of


computation


becomes


more


and


more


important.


In


our


times,


computation is not only used to deal with a lot of information and data, but also


to


carry


out


some


work


that


merely


could


be


done


earlier


by


logical


deductions,


for


example, the proof of most of geometrical theorems.


数学结论主要由逻辑 推理和计算


得到,


在数学发展历史的很长时间内,逻辑推理一直 占据着数学方法的中心地位,


现在,由


于电子计算机的迅速发展 和广泛使用,


计算机的地位越来越重要,


现在计算机不仅用于处 理


大量的信息和数据,


还可以完成一些之前只能由逻辑推理来做 的工作,


例如,


大多数几何定


理的证明 。

B


Equation


An


equation


is


a


statement


of


the


equality


between


two


equal


numbers or number symbols. Equation are of two kinds---- identities and equations


of condition. An arithmetic or an algebraic identity is an equation. In such an


equation either the two members are alike. Or become alike on the performance of


the indicated operation.


等式是关于两个数或者数的符号相等的一种描述。等式有两种


- 恒等式和条件等式。


算术或者代数恒等式是等式。


这种等式的两 端要么一样,


要么经过执


行指定的运算后变成一样。

< p>
An identity involving letters is true for any set of


numerical values of the letters in it. An equation which is true only for certain


values of a letter in it, or for certain sets of related values of two or more of


its


letters,


is


an


equation


of


condition,


or


simply


an


equation.


Thus


3x-5=7


is


true


for x=4 only; and 2x-y=0 is true


for


x=6


and


y=2 and


for


many other pairs of


values

v1.0


可编辑可修改



for x and y.


含有字母的恒等式对其中字母的任 一组数值都成立。一个等式若仅仅对其中


一个字母的某些值成立,


或对其中两个或着多个字母的若干组相关的值成立,


则它是一个条

件等式,简称方程。因此


3x-5=7


仅当


x=4


时成立,而


2x-y=0

,当


x=6,y=2


时成立,且对


x,


y


的其他许多对值也成立。


A


root


of


an


equation


is


any


number


or


number


symbol


which


satisfies


the


equation.


There


are


various


kinds


of


equation.


They


are


linear


equation,


quadratic equation, etc.


方程的根是满足方程的任意数或者数的符号。方程有很 多种,


例如:



线性方程,二次方程等。


To solve an equation means to find the value of the


unknown


term.


To


do


this


,


we


must,


of


course,


change


the


terms


about


until


the


unknown


term stands alone on one side of the equation, thus making it equal to something


on the other side. We then obtain the value of the unknown and the answer to the


question.


To


solve


the


equation,


therefore,


means


to


move


and


change


the


terms


about


without making the equation untrue,


until only the unknown quantity is left on one


side ,no matter


which side.


解方程意味着求未知项的值,为了求未知项的值,当然必须


移项,


直到未知项单独在方程的一边,令其等于方程的另一边,从而求得未知项 的值,


解决


了问题。


因此解方程意味着 进行一系列的移项和同解变形,


直到未知量被单独留在方程的一


边,无论那一边。


Equation are of very great use. We can use equation in many


mathematical


problems.


We


may


notice


that


almost


every


problem


gives


us


one


or


more


statements


that


something


is


equal


to


something,


this


gives


us


equations,


with


which


we may work if we need it.


方程作用很大,可以用方程解决很多数学问题。注意到几乎

每一个问题都给出一个或多个关于一个事情与另一个事情相等的陈述,


这就给出了方 程,



用该方程,如果我们需要的话,可以解方程。

A


Why


study


geometry


Many


leading


institutions


of


higher


learning


have


recognized that positive benefits can be gained by all who study this branch of


mathematics. This is evident from the fact that they require study of geometry as


a


prerequisite


to


matriculation


in


those


schools.


许多 居于领导地位的学术机构承认,

所有学习这个数学分支的人都将得到确实的受益,


许多学校把几何的学习作 为入学考试的先


决条件,从这一点上可以证明。


Geometr y


had


its


origin


long


ago


in


the


measurement


by


the Babylonians and Egyptians of their lands inundated by the floods of the Nile


River. The greek word geometry is derived from geo,


meaning “earth” and metron,


meaning


“measure”


.


As


early


as


2000


.


we


find


the


land


surveyors


of


these


people


re- establishing vanishing landmarks and boundaries by utilizing the truths of


geometry .


几何学起源于很久以前巴比伦人和埃及人测量他们被尼罗河洪水淹没的土地,

希腊语几何来源于


geo


,意思是”土地“,和


metron


意思是”测量“。公元前


2000


年之


前,我们发现这些民族的土地测量者利用几何知识重新确定消失了的土地标志和边界。

B


Some


geometrical


terms


A


solid


is


a


three-dimensional


figure.


Common


examples


of solids are cube, sphere, cylinder, cone and pyramid. A cube has six faces which


are


smooth


and


flat.


These


faces


are


called


plane


surfaces


or


simply


planes.


A


plane


surface has two dimensions, length and width. The surface of a blackboard or of a


tabletop is an example of a plane surface.


立体是一个三维图形,立 体常见的例子是


立方体,球体,柱体,圆锥和棱锥。立方体有


6


个面,都是光滑的和平的,这些面被称为平


面曲面或者简称为平 面。


平面曲面是二维的,


有长度和宽度,


黑板和桌子上面的面都是平面


曲面的例子。

C


三角函数于直角三角形的解


One


of


the


most


important


applications


of trigonometry is the solution of triangles. Let us now take up the solution to


right triangles. A triangle is composed of six


parts three sides


and three angles.


To


solve


a


triangle


is


to


find


the


parts


not


given.


A


triangle


may


be


solved


if


three


parts (at least one of these


is a side )


are


given. A right triangle


has one


angle,


the right angle, always given. Thus a right triangle can be solved when two sides,


or one side and an acute angle, are given.


三角形最重要的应用之一是解三角 形,现


在我们来解直角三角形。


一个三角形由

< br>6


个部分组成,


三条边和三只角。


解一个三角形就是


要求出未知的部分。


如果三角形的三个部分 (其中至少有一个为边)为已知,则此三角形就

可以解出。直角三角形 的一只角,即直角,总是已知的。因此,如果它的两边,或一边和一


锐角为已知,则此直 角三角形可解。








9-A Introduction A large variety of scientific problems arise in which one tries


to


determine


something


from


its


rate


of


change.


For


example


,


we


could


try


to


compute


the


position


of


a


moving


particle


from


a


knowledge


of


its


velocity


or


acceleration.


Or a radioactive substance may be disintegrating at a known rate and we may be


required to determine the amount of material present after a given time.


大量 的


科学问题需要人们根据事物的变化率来确定该事物,


例如,< /p>


我们可以由已知速度或者加速度


来计算移动粒子的位置

< p>
.


又如,


某种放射性物质可能正在以已知的速度 进行衰变,


需要我们


确定在给定的时间后遗留物质的总量。


In


examples


like


these,


we


are


trying


to


determine


an


unknown


function


from


prescribed


information


expressed


in


the


form


of


an


equation


involving


at


least


one


of


the


derivatives


of


the


unknown


function


.


These


equations


are


called


differential


equations,


and


their


study


forms


one


of


the


most


challenging


branches of mathematics.


在类似 的例子中,我们力求由方程的形式表示的信息来确定未


知函数,


而这种方程至少包含了未知函数的一个导数。


这些方程称为微分方程,

< br>对其研究形


成了数学中最具有挑战性的一门分支。


The


study


of


differential


equations


is


one


part


of mathematics that, perhaps more than any other, has been directly inspired by


mechanics, astronomy, and mathematical physics.


微分方程的研究是数学的一部分,也


许比其 他分支更多的直接受到力学,天文学和数学物理的推动。


Its


history


began


in


the


17th


century


when


Newton,


Leibniz,


and


the


Bernoullis


solved


some


simple


differential


equations


arising


from


problems


in


geometry


and


mechanics.


These


early


discoveries, beginning about 1690, gradually led to the development of a lot of


“special tricks” for solving certain special kinds of differential equation. 微< /p>
