在人类社会中,每个人都有名有姓,虽则仅用作互相区别的符号,但也意味深长。对某些事物,往往取用著名人士的名字以示纪念或嘉奖。例如:哈雷慧星、华盛顿城、费米能级等。在计量科学技术领域,以著名科学家的名字命名的基本原理、数学公式、量的单位也不少见,例如国际单位制中,就有19个单位名称以著名科学家的名字命名。《科学家与测量学命名》专栏将陆续介绍这方面的内容。 In human society, everyone has a first name, though only used as a symbol of distinction, but also meaningful. For certain things, the name of famous person is often used in commemoration or reward. For example: Halley Comet, Washington, Fermi energy level. In the field of metrology and science and technology, it is not uncommon to find basic principles, mathematical formulas, and quantity units named by famous scientists. For example, in the SI system, 19 units are named after famous scientists. The column entitled “Names of Scientists and Surveying” will introduce this aspect in succession.
