中文摘要：

通过对晚清民初我国中外文数学论文发表情况的历史考察,特别是对《科学世界》和《科学》特殊贡献的解析,认为——在我国晚清时期,欧洲、日本期刊已经从综合性过渡到由专门数学期刊承担数学论文的发表,但我国仍以综合性期刊《科学世界》《科学》等来担当;反观数学新学科的生成以及数学家的成长,期刊的学科促生功能和学术新秀的培育功能昭然若揭：故必须重视办好各种类型的学术期刊,为学科发展和培养学术新秀创造良好的社会条件和环境,特别是办好外文期刊,以有效传播与交流。

英文摘要：

Through historical analysis of publishing of mathematical papers in Chinese and foreign languages in China in the late Qing Dynasty and early Republic of China, especially special contributions of Science World and Science, we reach the following conclusions： Europe and Japan had finished the transition for publishing mathematical papers from comprehensive scientific journals to mathematical journals in late Qing Dynasty, but China still relied on comprehensive journals at that moment, such as Science World, Science and other journals ; in contrast to generation of new mathematical disciplines and growth of these mathematicians, growth-promoting function for new disciplines and nurturing function for academic rookie became clear. Thus we must pay more attention to various types of academic journals, and create good social conditions and environment for them, especially we should do well in publishing foreign language periodicals for more effective dissemination and exchange.
