Abstract
The introduction of Western mathematical knowledge changed the traditional model of Chinese mathematics. The Chinese translation of Western mathematics books in the late Qing Dynasty was not only the first-hand source for Chinese to know Western mathematics at that time, but also the main mathematical literature that Japanese people read and referenced during the same period. For Japanese scholars who were eager to understand Western mathematics, Chinese translation versions of the Western mathematics had become a shortcut to learning and understanding Western mathematics.
