摘　　要：晚清是中西数学深入对话的关键时期,对当时中算家数学观的考察可以加深对晚清数学发展的理解。通过研读晚清的数学著作,梳理了此时中算家对数学重要性,数学的理、法、用,数学最精之诣以及古今、中西数学关系的看法,并总结出了晚清中算家数学观的特点,即在统一的基调上又存在着差异。The late Qing dynasty is a key period involving comparison between Chinese and western mathematics, so researching the Chinese mathemati- cians＇ views of mathematics can deepen the understanding about development in mathematics at that time. Chinese mathematicians＇ thoughts of mathe- matics are discussed, including the importance of mathematics, the principle, method and calculation of mathematics, the most important branch of math- ematics, the relationship between ancient and modern mathematics, and the association between Chinese and Western mathematics. It comes to a conclu- sion that the trait of mathematical views Chinese mathematicians hold is that difference exists on the basis of unification in the late Qing dynasty.
