The Department of Mathematics of the National University of Peking was the first department of mathematics in a university or college in China. During the period of shu xue men, the Department didn’t strictly implement the shu xue men curriculum of the University and College Regulations issued by the Ministry of Education in 1913, and special courses were quite limited. However, it did set up a certain scale of basic courses in the fields of analysis, algebra, and geometry. After 1919, no later than 1923, its curriculum underwent large-scale expansion, becoming a relatively complete curriculum system. At the same time, its curriculum had demonstrative effects on the curricula of the Department of Mathematics of National Wuhan University and the Department of Mathematics of National Tsinghua University. After Jiang Zehan became chair of the Department in 1931, its curriculum underwent further reform. These reforms paid attention to laying out indispensable basic courses for students majoring in mathematics, as well as important special courses or special courses required after the expansion of pure mathematics in the twentieth century, while a batch of long-standing courses from the 1920s were discontinued. These progressive reforms embodied the spirit of the claims of Jiang Zehan, Feng Zuxun and Hu Junji that university mathematical education should only teach general knowledge, influenced by the American mathematician, William Fogg Osgood. The reform is one main reason why the training of talent at the Department gradually become more effective in the 1930s |
