2.4 整数、有理数与实数4－A Integers and rational numbersThere exist certain subsets of R which are distinguished because they have special properties not shared by all real numbers. In this section we shall discuss such subsets, the integers and the rational numbers.有一些R 的子集很著名，因为他们具有实数所不具备的特殊性质。
在本节我们将讨论这样的子集，整数集和有理数集。
To introduce the positive integers we begin with the number 1, whose existence is guaranteed by Axiom 4. The number 1+1 is denoted by 2, the number 2+1 by 3, and so on. The numbers 1,2,3,…, obtained in this way by repeated addition of 1 are all positive, and they are called the positive integers.我们从数字 1 开始介绍正整数，公理 4 保证了 1 的存在性。
1+1 用2 表示，2+1 用3 表示，以此类推，由 1 重复累加的方式得到的数字 1,2,3，…都是正的，它们被叫做正整数。
Strictly speaking, this description of the positive integers is not entirely complete because we have not explained in detail what we mean by the expressions “and so on”, or “repeated addition of 1”.严格地说，这种关于正整数的描述是不完整的，因为我们没有详细解释“等等”或者“1的重复累加”的含义。

1-A：什么是数学数学来源于人类的社会实践，包括工农业的劳动，商业、军事和科学技术研究等活动。
反过来，数学服务于实践并在所有领域扮演一个重要的角色。
没有数学的应用，现代化科学和技术的分支都不能有规律的发展。
从早期人类的需求引出了数和形状。
然后，几何学因测量陆续的发展出来，三角学来自于勘探问题。
为了处理一些更复杂的实践问题，人们建立了方程，通过求解方程的未知数，从而代数学出现了。
17世纪之前，人们局限于初等数学，例如几何、三角和代数，那些只考虑常数。
17世纪工业的迅速发展促进了经济学和科技的发展，并且我们需要处理变量。
从常数到变量的跳跃带来了两个属于高等数学的新的数学分支，解析几何和微积分学。
现在，高等数学中有了许多分支，数学分析、高等代数、微分方程、函数论等。
数学家们研究概念和命题。
公理、公社、定义和定理都是命题。
符号是一种特别并且很重要的数学工具，它常用于表示概念和命题。
公式、图形和表格充满着不同的符号。
阿拉伯数字1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,0和加”+”减”-”乘”*”除”/”等号”=”使我们最熟悉的数学符号。
主要通过逻辑推导和计算来获得数学结论。
在数学史的很长的时期内，逻辑推论一直占据数学方法的中心地位。
现在，自从电子计算机迅速发展和广泛应用，计算的角色越来越重要。
现在，计算不仅用来处理信息与数据，而且用来完成一些在以前只能靠逻辑推理来做的工作，例如证明大多数的几何定理。
1-B：等式等式是关于两个数或数的符号相等的一种陈述。
因此a(a-5)=a^2-5a和x-3=5是等式。
等式有两种，恒等式和条件等式。
算术和代数恒等式是等式。
这种等式的两端要么一样，要么经过执行指定的运算后变成一样。
因此12-2=2+8，(m-n)(m+n)=m^2-n^2是恒等式。
含有字母的恒等式对其中字母的任何一组数值都成立。
因此恒等式x(a+2)=ax+2x变成3(7+2)=21+6或27=27，比如当x=3和a=7。

It may be done by a formula as the 18th century mathematics presumed but it can equally well be done by a tabulation such as a statistical chart, or by some other form of description.
The study of such relations led people in the 18th century to think of a function relation as nothing but a formula. 对这种关系的研究导致了18世纪的人们认为函数关系 只不过是一个公式罢了。
The word “function” was introduced into mathematics by Leibniz, who used the term primarily to refer to certain kinds of mathematical formulas. “函数”这个词是由莱布尼茨引入到数学中的，他主 要使用这个术语来指代某种数学公式。 It was later realized that Leibniz’s idea of function was much too limited in its scope, and the meaning of the word has since undergone many stages of generalization. 后来人们才认识到，莱布尼茨的函数思想适用的范围 太过局限了，这个术语的含义从那时起已经过了多次

Mathematical English Dr. Xiaomin Zhang Email: zhangxiaomin@§2.2 Geometry and TrigonometryTEXT A Why study geometry?Why do we study geometry? The student beginning the study of this text may well ask, “What is geometry? What can I expect to gain fro m this study?”Many leading institutions of higher learning have recognized that positive benefits can be gained by all who study this branch of mathematics. This is evident from the fact that they require study of geometry as a prerequisite to matriculation in those schools. Geometry had its origin long ago in the measurements by the Babylonians and Egyptians of their lands inundated by the floods of the Nile River. The Greek word geometry is derived from geo, meaning “earth”, and metron, meaning “measure”. As early as2000 B.C. we find the land surveyors of these people re-establishing vanishing landmarks and boundaries by utilizing the truths of geometry.Geometry is a science that deals with forms made by lines. A study of geometry is an essential part of the training of the successful engineer, scientist, architect, and draftsman. The carpenter, machinist, stonecutter, artist, and designer all apply the facts of geometry in their trades. In this course the student will learn a great deal about geometric figures such as lines, angles, triangles, circles, and designs and patterns of many kinds. One of the most important objectives derived from a study of geometry is making the student be more critical in his listening, reading, and thinking. In studying geometry he is led away from the practice of blind acceptance of statements and ideas and is taught to think clearly and critically before forming conclusions.There are many other less direct benefits the student of geometry may gain. Among these one must include training in the exact use of the English language and in the ability to analyze a new situation or problem into its basic parts, and utilizing perseverance, originality, and logical reasoning in solving the problem. An appreciation for the orderliness and beauty of geometric forms that abound in man’s works and of the creations of nature will be a byproduct of the study of geometry. The student should also develop an awareness of the contributions of mathematics and mathematicians to our culture and civilization.TEXT B Some geometrical terms1. Solids and planes.A solid is a three-dimensional figure. Common examples of solid are cube, sphere, cylinder, cone and pyramid.A cube has six faces which are smooth and flat. These faces are called plane surfaces or simply planes. A plane surface has two dimensions, length and width .The surface of a blackboard or a tabletop is an example of a plane surface.2. Lines and line segments.We are all familiar with lines, but it is difficult to define the term. A line may be represented by the mark made by moving a pencil or pen across a piece of paper. A line may be considered as having only one dimension, length. Although when we draw a line we give it breadth and thickness, we think only of the length of the trace when considering the line. A point has no length, no width, and no thickness, but marks a position. We arefamiliar with such expressions as pencil point and needle point. We represent a point by a small dot and name it by a capital letter printed beside it, as “point A” in Fig. 2-2-1.The line is named by labeling two points on it with capital letters or one small letter near it. The straight line in Fig. 2-2-2 is read “line AB” or “line l”. A straight line extends infinitely far in two directions and has no ends. The part of the line between two points on the line is termed a line segment. A line segment is named by the two end points. Thus, in Fig. 2-2-2, we refer to AB as line segment of line l. When no confusion may result, the expression “line segment AB” is often replace d by segment AB or, simply, line A B.There are three kinds of lines: the straight line, the broken line, and the curved line. A curved line or, simply, curve is line no part of which is straight. A broken line is composed of joined, straightline segments, as ABCDE of Fig. 2-2-3.3. Parts of a circle.A circle is a closed curve lying in one plane, all points of which are equidistant from a fixed point called the center (Fig. 2-2-4). The symbol for a circle is ⊙. In Fig. 2-2-4, O is the center of ⊙ABC, or simply of ⊙O. A line segment drawn from the center of the circle to a point on the circle is a radius (plural, radii) of the circle. OA, OB, and OC are radii of ⊙O, A diameter of a circle is a line segment through the center of the circle with endpoints on the circle. A diameter is equal to two radii.A chord is any line segment joining two points on the circle. ED is a chord of the circle in Fig. 2-2-4.From this definition is should be apparent that a diameter is a chord. Any part of a circle is an arc, such as arc AE. Points A and E divide the circle into minor arc AE and major arc ABE. A diameter divides a circle into two arcs termed semicircles, such as AB. Thecircumference is the length of a circle.SUPPLEMENT A Ruler-and-compass constructionsA number of ancient problems in geometry involve the construction of lengths or angles using only an idealised ruler and compass. The ruler is indeed a straightedge, and may not be marked; the compass may only be set to already constructed distances, and used to describe circular arcs.Some famous ruler-and-compass problems have been proved impossible, in several cases by the results of Galois theory. In spite of these impossibility proofs, some mathematical amateurs persist in trying to solve these problems. Many of them fail to understand that many of these problems are trivially soluble provided that other geometric transformations are allowed: for example, squaring the circle is possible using geometric constructions, but not possible using ruler and compasses alone. Mathematician Underwood Dudley has made a sideline of collecting false ruler-and-compass proofs, as well as other work by mathematical cranks, and has collected them into several books.Squaring the circle The most famous of these problems, “squaring the circle”, involves constructing a square with the same area as a given circle using only ruler and compasses. Squaring the circle has been proved impossible, as it involves generating a transcendental ratio, namely 1:√π.Only algebraic ratios can be constructed with ruler and compasses alone. The phrase “squaring the circle” is often used to mean “doing the impossible”for this reason.Without the constraint of requiring solution by ruler and compasses alone, the problem is easily soluble by a wide variety of geometric and algebraic means, and has been solved many times in antiquity.Doubling the cube Using only ruler and compasses, construct the side of a cube that has twice the volume of a cube with a given side. This is impossible because the cube root of 2, though algebraic, cannot be computed from integers by addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, and taking square roots.Angle trisection Using only ruler and compasses, construct an angle that is one-third of a given arbitrary angle. This requires taking the cube root of an arbitrary complex number with absolute value 1 and is likewise impossible.Constructing with only ruler or only compassIt is possible, as shown by Georg Mohr, to construct anything with just a compass that can be constructed with ruler and compass. It is impossible to take a square root with just a ruler, so some things cannot be constructed with a ruler that can be constructed with a compass; but given a circle and its center, they can be constructed.Problem How can you determine the midpoint of any given line segment with only compass?SUPPLEMENT B Archimedes and On the Sphere and the CylinderArchimedes(287 BC-212 BC) was an Ancient mathematician, astronomer, philosopher, physicist and engineer born in the Greek seaport colony of Syracuse. He is considered by some math historians to be one of history's greatest mathematicians, along with possibly Newton, Gauss and Euler.He was an aristocrat, the son of an astronomer, but little is known of his early life except that he studied under followers of Euclid in Alexandria, Egypt before returning to his native Syracuse, then an independent Greek city-state. Several of his books were preserved by the Greeks and Arabs into the Middle Ages, and, fortunately, the Roman historian Plutarch described a few episodes from his life. In many areas of mathematics as well as in hydrostatics and statics, his work and results were not surpassed for over 1500 years!He approximated the area of circles (and the value of ¼) by summing the areas of inscribed and circumscribed rectang les, and generalized this "method of exhaustion," by taking smaller and smaller rectangular areas and summing them, to find the areas and even volumes of several other shapes. This anticipated the results of the calculus of Newton and Leibniz by almost 2000 years!He found the area and tangents to the curve traced by a point moving with uniform speed along a straight line which is revolving with uniform angular speed about a fixed point. This curve, described by r = a in polar coordinates, is now called the "spiral of Archimedes." With calculus it is an easy problem; without calculus it is very difficult.The king of Syracuse once asked Archimedes to find a way of determining if one of his crowns was pure gold without destroying the crown in the process. The crown weighed the correct amount but that was not a guarantee that it was pure gold. Thestory is told that as Archimedes lowered himself into a bath he noticed that some of the water was displaced by his body and flowed over the edge of the tub. This was just the insight he needed to realize that the crown should not only weigh the right amount but should displace the same volume as an equal weight of pure gold. He was so excited by this idea that he reportedly ran naked through the streets shouting "Eureka" ("I have found it")."Give me a place to stand and I will move the earth" was his boast when he discovered the laws of levers and pulleys. Since it was impossible to challenge that statement directly, he was asked to move a ship which had required a large group of laborers to put into position. Archimedes did so easily by using a compound pulley system.During the war between Rome and Carthage, the Roman fleet decided to attack Syracuse, but Archimedes had been at work devising a few surprises. There were catapults with adjustable ranges which could throw objects which weighted over 500 pounds. The ships which survived the catapults were met with poles which reached over the city walls and dropped heavy stones onto the ships. Large grappling hooks attached to levers lifted the ships out of the water and then dropped them. During another failed assault, it is said that Archimedes had the soldiers of Syracuse use specially shaped and shined shields to focus the sunlight onto the sails to set them afire. This was more than the terrified sailors could stand, and the fleet withdrew. Unfortunately, the city began celebrating a bit early, and Marcellus captured Syracuse by attackingfrom the landward side during the celebration. "Archimedes, who was then, as fate would have it, intent upon working out some problem by a diagram, and having fixed his mind alike and his eyes upon the subject of his speculation, he never noticed the incursion of the Romans, nor that the city was taken. In this transport of study and contemplation, a soldier, unexpectedly coming upon him, commanded him to follow to Marcellus, which he declined to do before he had worked out his problem to a demonstration; the soldier, enraged, drew his sword and ran him through." (Plutarch)Archimedes requested that his tombstone be decorated with a sphere contained in the smallest possible cylinder and inscribed with the ratio of the cylinder's volume to that of the sphere. Archimedes considered the discovery of this ratio the greatest of all his accomplishments.Archimedes Discovers the Volume of a SphereArchimedes balanced a cylinder, a sphere, and a cone. All of the following dimensions shown in blue are equal.Archimedes imagined taking a circular slice out of all three solids.He then imagined hanging the cylinder and the sphere from point A and suspending the solids at point F (the fulcrum).By the law of the lever Archimedes showed that2r ⨯ (cone volume + sphere volume) = 4r ⨯ (cylinder volumes)Since cylinder volume = base ⨯ height = πr2⨯2r = 2πr3and cone volume = 1/3base ⨯ height = 1/3[π⨯ (2r)2] ⨯ (2r) = 8/3πr3so sphere volume = 2 cylinder volumes - cone volume = 4/3πr3Problem 1 Can you obtain the volume of a cone by the same argument above?Problem 2 (about π) Among the earliest Chinese circle-squarers mention must be made of Chang Hung in the first place. Chang’s calculation of the circle, however, has been lost, although his value of π is given in commentary on Arithmetic in Nine Sections in the form that the ratio of the square of the circular circumference to that of the perimeter of the circumscribed squareis 5 to 8. This is equivalent to taking π at ____.。
数学专业英语(吴炯圻-第2版)2-4
Although the intuitive meaning of expressions may seem clear, in careful treatment of the real-number system it is necessary to give a more precise definition of the positive integers. There are many ways to do this. One convenient method is to introduce first the notion of an inductive set.
(a) The number 1 is in the set. (b) For every x in the set, the number x+1 is also in
the set. For example, R is an inductive set. So is the set R .
Now we shall define the positive integers to be those real numbers which belong to every inductive set.
整数a与b的商被叫做有理数，有理数集用Q表示，Z 是Q的子集。读者应该认识到Q满足所有的域公理和 序公理。因此说有理数集是一个有序的域。不是有 理数的实数被称为无理数。
4－B Geometric interpretation of real numbers as points on a line
The reader is undoubtedly familiar with the geometric representation of real numbers by means of points on a straight line. A point is selected to represent 0 and another, to the right of 0, to represent 1, as illustrated in Figure 2-4-1. This choice determines the scale.

2-A Why study geometry?Why do we study geometry? The student beginning the study of this text may well ask, "What is geometry? What can I expect to gain from this study?2-A为什么研究几何学？为什么我们研究几何学？刚开始学习这篇文章的学生会疑问，“几何是什么？研究几何我们能学到什么呢？Many leading institutions of higher learning have recognized that positive benefits can be gained by all who study this branch of mathematics. This is evident from the fact that they require study of geometry as a prerequisite to matriculation in those schools.许多居领导地位的学术机构承认，所有学习这个数学分支的人都将得到很好的收益。
事实是，他们需要学习几何作为学校入学考试的先决条件。
Geometry had its origin long ago in the measurements by the Babylonians and Egyptians of their lands inundated by the floods of the Nile River. The greek word geometry is derived from geo, meaning "earth," and metron, meaning "measure." As early as 2000 B. C. we find the land surveyors of these people reestablishing vanishing landmarks and boundaries by utilizing the truths of geometry.很早以前，几何学源于测量被尼罗河的洪水淹没了的巴比伦人和埃及人的土地。
希腊语的几何学源于geo,意思是土地；metron意思是测量。
早在公元前2000年，我们发现土地测量者利用几何知识重新建立消失了的地标和边界。
Geometry is a science that deals with forms made by lines. A study of geometry is an essential part of the training of the successful engineer, scientist, architect, and draftsman. The carpenter, machinist, stonecutter, artist, and designer all apply the facts of geometry in their trades. In this course the student will learn a great deal about geometric figures such as lines, angles, triangles, circles, and designs and patterns of many kinds.几何学是解决线性形式的一门学科。
几何的学习对于培养成功的工程师，科学家，建筑师和制图员是非常重要的。
木匠、机械师、石匠、画家和设计师在他们领域中都应用了几何学的知识。
在课堂上学生将学习很多几何的特征，如线、角、三角形、圆、各种设计和图案。
One of the most important objectives derived from a study of geometry is making the student be more critical in his listening, reading, and thinking. In studying geometry he is led away from the practice of blind acceptance of statements and ideas and is taught to think clearly and critically before forming conclusions.一个很重要的客观原因是几何的学习能使学生在倾听、阅读和思考方面更加带有批评的观点。
几何学的研究能让人不盲目地接受别人的陈述和观点，它能教人在形式结论之前要仔细地批判地思考。
There are many other less direct benefits the student of geometry may gain. mong these one must include training in the exact use of the English language and in the ability to analyze a new situation or problem into its basic parts", and utilizing perseverance, originality, and logicalreasoning in solving the problem. An apprecia- tion for the orderliness and beauty of geometric forms that abound in man's works and the creations of nature will be a byproduct of the study of geometry. The student should also develop an awareness of the contributions of mathematics and mathematicians to our culture and civilization.学习几何的学生可能很少得到的直接好处。
总之，一个人应具有训练英语的准确使用及在分析新情况与新问题时直达基本要素，和解决问题时要有毅力、创造性和逻辑推理能力。
赞扬大量的人类作品和大自然创造的井然有序和美丽的几何图形，它们会成为几何研究的产物。
学生也应该培养数学的贡献意识以及数学家们应对文化和文明作贡献。
2-B Some geometrical terms1. Solids and planes. A solid is a three-dimensional figure. Common examples of solids are cube, sphere, cylinder, cone and pyramid.2-B一些几何的术语．1.立体和平面立体是三维的特征。
常见立体图形的例子有立方体、球体、柱体、圆锥和棱锥。
A cube has six faces which are smooth and flat. These faces are called plane surfaces or simply planes. A plane surface has two dimensions, length and width. The surface of a blackboard or of a tabletop is an example of a plane surface.一个立方体有六个光滑的平面，这些面被叫做平面或者简单平面。
一个平面是两维的，包括长度和宽度。
黑板面和桌面是平面的例子。
2. Lines and line segments.We are all familiar with lines, but it is difficult to define the term. A line may be represented by the mark made by moving a pencil or pen across a piece of paper. A line may be considered as having only one dimension, length. Although when we draw a line we give it breadth and thickness, we think only of the length of the trace when considering the line. A point has no length, no width, and no thickness, but marks a position. We are familiar with such expressions as pencil point and needle point. We represent a point by a small dot and name it by a capital letter printed beside it, as "point A" in Fig. 2-2-1.2.线和直线段我们都很熟悉直线，但却但很难定义直线。
一个直线可能由铅笔或钢笔在纸上移动留下的痕迹表示。
一条直线被认为仅有一维的长度。
尽管我们画一条直线会给定宽度和厚度，但我们只考虑线直线痕迹的长度。
一个点没有长度，宽度和厚度，但是能标记一个位置。
我们熟悉这样的表示像铅笔点和指针点。
我们用一个小圆点表示一个点并用大写字母在旁边写上“点A”命名该点。
如图2-2-1.The line is named by labeling two points on it with capital letters or one small letter near it. The straight line in Fig. 2-2-2 is read "line AB" or "line I". A straight line extends infinitely far in two directions and has no ends. The part of the line between two points on the line is termed a line segment. A line segment is named by the two end points., Thus, in Fig. 2-2-2, we refer to AB as a line segment of line. . When no confusion may result, the expression "line segment AB" isoften replaced by segment AB or, simply, line AB.一条直线是用大写字母或小写字母在旁边标记两个点而命名直线”。
