中文摘要: 1934~1936年,美国著名数学家、哈佛大学数学系教授奥斯古德(1864~1943年)作为北京大学研究教授在数学系进行了讲学活动,主要开设了函数论方面的课程。他是首位在中国系统传播函数论的国外数学家。其讲学期间所撰英文著作《实变函数》和《复变函数》1936年由北京大学出版部出版。这两部著作部分内容取材于其所著《函数论教科书》,但有些内容经过较大的改编;前者稿本即其“实数函数论”课程讲义,是中国最早出版的实变函数教科书,后者与其“复数函数论”授课内容密切相关,是中国最早出版的复变函数教科书。奥斯古德的讲学活动使北大数学系的函数论课程更为专门化,推进了函数论在中国的传播,并使该系学生受到哈佛训练模式的训练,缩小了他们与国际水平的差距,也使他们体认到学者的风范。
英文摘要: As a research professor of the National University of Peking, William Fogg Osgood (1934~1936), the well-known American mathematician and Harvard University mathematics department professor, taught at the mathematics department of the National University of Peking from 1934 to 1936. He mainly offered courses on theories of functions, and was the first foreign mathematician to systematically disseminate the theories of functions in China. During this period, he wrote two books published by the University Press in 1936, Functions of Real Variables and Functions of a Complex Variable. Some of the content of these two books originated from his Lehrbuch der Funktionentheorie, though considerably adapted. They are the earliest textbooks on these subjects published in China. The manuscript of Functions of Real Variables was his teaching materials for the course on theories of functions of real variables. Functions of a Complex Variable is closely related to the content of the course of theories of functions of a complex variable. His teaching activities not only made the department’s courses about theories of functions more specialized, promoted the dissemination of theories of functions in China, but also gave students training in the mode of Harvard University, narrowing the gap between them at the international level
