The Mathematico-Physical Society of Government University of Peking has a certain influence and representativeness in societies of science and technology of universities and colleges during the period of new culture movement. From 1919 to 1921,the society inspired a group of its members in writing and translating related articles,and disseminated many aspects of knowledge in the fields of modern mathematics and modern physics through publishing the Mathematico-Physical Journal of the Government University of Peking. At that time,the journal had indispensable value and significance to facilitate the learning and research of modern mathematics & physics and the understanding of international research status. However,the journal’s papers with academic innovation are quite few. And there are some errors and problems in its manuscripts of translation. Besides publishing the journal,the society also made efforts in inviting experts to give lectures and instruction,communicating with other units,and had a certain achievements in construction of organization and system as well. But due to lack of funds,intense turbulence of the university,and the influence of social environment,the society stepped off the stage of history no more than 5 years from its establishment.Therefore,the society didn’t has a lasting impact on students of the department of mathematics and the department of physics,and the dissemination of modern mathematics and modern physics.
