Abstract:

Suanxue Mingci Huibian” is the first modern mathematical dictionary in China. After four reviews, more than 80% of the nouns were similar or identical to the current ones. Although these terms were not fully popularized at that time due to financial and personnel constraints, they still had some impact. These nouns are also important reference objects for future generations in the examination and unification of mathematical nouns. The compilation process of “Suanxue Mingci Huibian” also reflects that scientific activities need the support and participation of the government and society.

Key words: mathematics term, Suanxue Mingci Huibian”, compilation, examination
