在西方文明中，数学一直是一种主要的文化力量，中国的近现代数学，更多的是西方数学传播的结果。西方数学在中国的传播是数学史最重要的研究领域之一，已经取得了一些进展。但是，无论是时间区间、地域范围还是关注的群体，都具有一定的局限性。民国时期是中外数学交流频繁的时期，公派留学生求学海外，成为中西交流的重要桥梁和主要渠道；民国时期也是中国数学家成果较多的时期，对中国近现代数学的发展影响深远。. 四川僻处西南一隅，其教育的近代化起步较晚，但发展较快；抗战时期高校内迁，对四川数学的影响很大。民国时期战乱频繁，史料记载较少，遗失较多。本项目结合目前研究现状和申请人的研究积累，采用文献考证和调查访谈结合的方法，聚焦中外数学交流频繁的民国时期，研究四川数学的发展。试图理清西方数学在四川传播过程的主要线索，分析留学生对中国近代数学的贡献，以期在西方数学传播领域的研究取得有深度的进展。

Modern mathematics in China is more the result of the spread of Western mathematics. Study of western mathematics spread had been some progress. but have some limitations in time , scope and focus groups. The Chinese and foreign mathematics exchanges frequently during the period of the Republic of China .Overseas sponsored students became important main channel for Chinese-Western communications. In the period, Chinese mathematicians had much research, which have a profound influence on the development of China's modern mathematics. . Sichuan is located in the southwestern region, the modernization of education started late, but it developed rapidly; during the Anti-Japanese War, migration of the colleges and universities have a great impact on the Sichuan mathematics. There were frequent wars during the period of the Republic of china, so the historical records were less, and lost much. . According to the current research status and the applicant's accumulation, we study the development of Sichuan mathematics. In order to research in the field of mathematics of the spread of western achieve depth of progress, we will try to sort out the main clue of western mathematics in the process of the propagation of Sichuan, analysis of contributions to Chinese modern mathematics of overseas sponsored students .
