In 2002, Professor Qiu Chengtong, an internationally renowned mathematician, established the Mathematical Science Research Center in Zhejiang University and served as the director of the center. A group of mathematicians with important influence at home and abroad enrolled students in Zhejiang University to train graduate students. High-level academic research and communication have played an important role in promoting the development of mathematics in Zhejiang University.
