Hua (1910-1985), a native of Jintan District, Changzhou City, Jiangsu Province, is a contemporary self-taught master of science and a famous mathematician at home and abroad. Hua devoted his whole life to the research and development of mathematics, and made contributions to the development of mathematics in China. Known as "the father of modern mathematics in China", "the god of mathematics in China" and "the people's mathematician".

Hua is mainly engaged in the research of analytic number theory, matrix geometry, canonical group, automorphic function theory, multiple complex variable function theory, partial differential equation, high-dimensional numerical integration and other fields; It also solves the difficult problem of estimating the complete triangular sum of Gaussian, the improvement of Willing and Tali problems, the proof of the basic theorem of one-dimensional projective geometry, and the application research of modern number theory methods.

Huade's childhood story

Hua's father is an old man. He gave birth to Hua at the age of forty, so he was worried that he would not grow up. Because of the sentence "you can put your roots in the laundry basket and feed it better", I wanted to call him "the root of the basket" and finally named him Hua. This is the origin of his name. Represents the father's wishes for his healthy growth.

He likes thinking since he was a child. Because he often thinks too seriously, he is laughed at by his peers and is called a nerd. But this still can't change Hua's love for learning. He grew up in a poor family because his family had no money to pay the tuition. Hua, who can't go to school, didn't give up. He helped his father manage the grocery store and taught himself math at home. After dropping out of junior high school, it took him only five years to complete the math course from high school to university.
