中国数学会在上海的创建与活动,除与上海独特的地理位势和已有专业的中国科学社明复图书馆美权算学图书室等因素有关外,更重要的是,作为近代中国最现代化的城市,上海具有吸引各路英才的优势,聚集了大批的数学人才,奠定了当时上海数学工作者在中国数学界的特殊地位,直接促成了中国数学会在上海的诞生。这充分显示了现代化与学术的亲缘性,现代化赖以表现的工商化对学术的凝聚力。但汇聚在上海的数学工作者群体在数学科研成就上却毫无作为,这除与上海缺乏学术研究的传统外,还与上海没有给学术研究提供合适的社会环境有关。上海毕竟是一个工商城市,工商化与学术很难交融无间。工商逐利,追求的都是可见的利益和利润,学术中的许多部分都无法直接转化为可见的利益和利润。因此,上海虽聚集了大批数学及其他学科的专门人才,但在自然科学方面除少数门类外成就鲜见,显现了工商与学术的疏离。
The creation and activities of the Chinese Mathematical Society in Shanghai are not only related to Shanghai’s unique geographical location and the existing professional library of the American Mathematical Sciences in Minghui Library of China Science Society, but more importantly, as the most modernized modern China , Shanghai has the advantage of attracting talents from all walks of life and has gathered a large number of math majors to lay a special position for Shanghai math workers in the field of Chinese mathematics at that time and directly contributed to the birth of the Chinese Mathematical Society in Shanghai. This fully demonstrates the affinity between modernization and scholarship, and the commercialization of the academic performance by modernization. However, the pool of math workers in Shanghai has done nothing in the achievement of mathematics research. Apart from its lack of academic research tradition in Shanghai, it is not related to Shanghai providing a suitable social environment for academic research. Shanghai, after all, is an industrial and commercial city, so it is difficult for industry and commerce to blend in with each other. It is the visible interests and profits pursued by industrial and commercial interests, many parts of which are not directly translated into visible benefits and profits. Therefore, although Shanghai has a large number of specialists in mathematics and other disciplines, its achievement in the natural sciences is rare except for a few categories, showing the alienation between business and academia.
