Hua has made outstanding achievements in solving the estimation problem, improving the sum problem, proving the basic theorem of one-dimensional projective geometry and applying modern number theory methods.

Hua's early research field was analytic number theory, and his achievements in analytic number theory were particularly famous. The internationally famous "China Analytic Number Theory School" is a school initiated by China, which has made many significant contributions to the distribution of prime numbers and Goldbach conjecture. Hua is also the founder and pioneer in the research of analytic number theory, matrix geometry, canonical group and automorphism function theory in China.

Hua (191010 12-1June 98512), a native of Jintan District, Changzhou, Jiangsu Province, is an academician of China Academy of Sciences and a foreign academician of the National Academy of Sciences.

Hua Yu 1924 studied in Shanghai China Vocational School for less than one year after graduating from Jintan Middle School. He dropped out of school because of his poor family, but he studied mathematics hard. 1930, he published an article on solving algebraic equations in Science, was invited to work in Tsinghua University, and began the research of number theory. 1936 went to Cambridge University as a visiting scholar. 1938 returned to China and was employed by Professor The National SouthWest Associated University. From 65438 to 0946, he went to the United States and worked as a researcher at Princeton Institute of Mathematics and Princeton University. He has been a professor at the University of Illinois since 1948. 1950 Return to China.
