《几何原本》是古希腊数学家欧几里德的不朽著作,成书约在公元前三百年左右。《几何原本杂议》(以下简称“杂议”)是徐光启评论《几何原本》的一篇文章,见于同治四年夏月刻本《几何原本十五卷》中。近读杂议,深为这位大师在距今三百多年前对《几何原本》作出许多极有见解的评价而惊羡不已。虽然杂议也有言过其实的地方,但这丝毫不应影响它的价值。徐光启(1562—1633),明代科学家,他的科学研究范围广泛,以农学、天文学为突出。较早从罗马传教士利玛窦等学习研究西方科技知识(包括天文、历法、数学、测量、水利等),并介绍于我国。《几何原本》的前六卷就是利玛窦“口译”、徐光启“笔
“Geometry Original” is the ancient Greek mathematician Euclid’s immortal book, written about three hundred years BC. “Geometry Original Reconsiderations” (hereinafter referred to as “the ”Differ“) is an article by Xu Guangqi’s commentary on ”Geography Original“. It is found in the ”Fine Volume of Geometry Books“ in the four months of the summer and the month of Tongzhi. The recent reading of the speculation was deeply amazed by the fact that this master had made many insightful comments on Geometry before 300 years ago. Although misunderstandings also have an overstatement, this should not affect its value in the slightest. Xu Guangqi (1562–1633), a scientist of the Ming Dynasty, had a wide range of scientific research and was highlighted by agronomy and astronomy. Earlier, he studied and studied Western scientific and technological knowledge (including astronomy, calendar, mathematics, surveying, water conservancy, etc.) from Roman missionaries Matteo Ricci and introduced them to China. The first six volumes of The Original Geometry were Ricci’s ”Interpretation“ and Xu Guangqi’s ”Pen.
