摘　　要：《方程论》是梅文鼎早期数学研究的重要成果。学界多认为该书刊刻于1687年,但存在分歧。根据钱宝琮《梅勿庵先生年谱》的记载,本文进一步解读梅文鼎书信及相关史料,补充论证了其书最早刻成于1699年的观点,并分析了形成误解的诸多因素。《方程论》从成书到刊刻历时25年,以其刊刻为线索,探讨了梅文鼎学术交游圈的形成。Fangchenglun is an important achievement of Mei Wending’s early mathematical research.Most scholars believe the book was published in 1687 while there is disagreement.According to Qian Bao-cong’s Mei Wuan Xiansheng Nianpu,this paper further interprets Mei Wending’s letters and related historical materials,demonstrates the viewpoint that Fangchenglun was first published in 1699,and analyzes many factors that led to misunderstanding.It took 25 years from the completion to the publication of Fangchenglun.Taking the publication as a clue,this paper discusses the development of Mei Wending’s academic contacts.
