The late Qing dynasty was a special historical period.Under the influence of Western learning into China,a boom in translating Western mathematical works was set off in the late Qing dynasty.A group of enlightened translators res-olutely shouldered the responsibility of strengthening the nation through translating Western mathematics knowledge,among which they selected Western classical mathematical works for translation.In this practice of mathematics translation,Chi-nese translators promoted the localization of Western mathematics knowledge via translating the mathematics terms into Chi-nese to realize the flow of mathematics knowledge,the dissemination of mathematical ideas,and the reform to promote Chi-nese mathematics translation practice.At the same time,the integration and innovation of Chinese and Western mathemat-ics knowledge was promoted through critical mathematics translation.In the late Qing Dynasty,the Western mathematics knowledge gained localized expression during the process of its translation,and a new mathematics knowledge system was formed in the knowledge reproduction.Specialized studies were conducted to contribute to the knowledge selection and con-struction as well.Therefore,under the interaction between Chinese and Western civilization,translators in the late Qing dynasty carried out localized practices of Western mathematics knowledge,striving to build a systematic mathematical theo-retical structure.Ultimately,a new knowledge system was formed through mutual civilization learning to gradually establish Chinese mathematical discourse system.
