Chen Jingrun (65438+May 22nd, 0933-65438+March 1996) is one of the famous mathematicians in modern China. Born in Fuzhou, Fujian, died in Beijing. 1953 graduated from the Mathematics Department of Xiamen University and was assigned to Beijing as a middle school teacher. 65438-0954 Back to Xiamen University as a librarian. During this period, he wrote a paper on number theory, which was appreciated by Hua and was quickly transferred to the Institute of Mathematics of China Academy of Sciences. Chen Jingrun's main contribution is analytic number theory. 1966 proved that "every large enough even number can be expressed as the sum of the products of a prime number and no more than two prime numbers", and the result of this abbreviation is "1+2", which makes him in the leading position in the study of the famous world mathematical problem "Goldbach conjecture". The obtained theorem is called "Chen Theorem". Later, the further improvement of the coefficient estimation of 1+2 was published in 1978, which continued to promote the research of the problem.

From 65438 to 0977, he was a researcher at the Institute of Mathematics of China Academy of Sciences, and from 65438 to 0980, he was elected as a member of the Department of Mathematical Physics of China Academy of Sciences. 1982 won the first prize of China Natural Science Award together with Pan Chengdong, and 1993 won the first Chinese Mathematics Award.
