Chinese Scholars on the Japanese Historian of Mathematics and Science Mikami Yoshio (Study of the History of Mathematics 2021)

Sarina

Mikami Yoshio, as a famous Japanese historian of mathematics and science in the 20th century, is one of the founders of modern mathematical history research in the East and West, and is also regarded by some scholars as the creator of the theory of external history. He is famous domestically and internationally for his research on traditional Chinese and Japanese mathematics. His research on Chinese arithmetic has not only introduced the traditional mathematics as one of the treasures of Chinese history and culture to the West, but has also laid foundation for the study of traditional mathematics in China. Since the 1990s, scholars in China have carried out the study on Mikami Yoshio. A brief survey of the research on him conducted by domestic scholars over the past three decades is presented in this article from five aspects categorized and discussed, including an early introductory study of him, a study of his thoughts on the history of mathematics and science, a rediscovery of the outstanding achievements of traditional Chinese mathematics with the help of his research, an analysis of the different stages and characteristics of his research on the history of mathematics, and an observation of his relationship with Western scholars.
