1985 June 12 At 4 pm, Hua gave a speech to the Japanese mathematics community in the lecture hall of the Department of Mathematics and Physics of the University of Tokyo. The topic is "Pure Mathematics and Its Application". At 5 pm, the speech ended. At the moment he received the flowers, his body suddenly leaned back and fell on the rostrum. At 65: 438+00: 09 pm, he was declared dead of acute myocardial infarction.

outline

Hua, an international master of mathematics, is an academician of China Academy of Sciences. He is the founder and pioneer of China's analytic number theory, matrix geometry, canonical group and self-safety function theory, and the founder of China's analytic number theory school. He made unparalleled contributions to the development of mathematics in China. Known as "the father of modern mathematics in China", he was listed as one of 88 great mathematicians by the Chicago Museum of Science and Technology. The famous American mathematician Bateman wrote: "Hua is China's Einstein, and he is enough to be an academician of all the famous academies in the world.".

China's main contribution

Hua's "Overall Planning Method for Plain Speaking" and "Optimized Method for Plain Speaking" enable women and children to understand and master the application with easy-to-understand language and vivid methods, and have achieved the effect of increasing production, improving quality and reducing consumption. During this period, Hua also cooperated with the professor to carry out the application research of modern number theory method in approximate analysis, and the obtained result was called "Hua-Wang method". Two popular science books, Optimization Method Platform and its Supplement, and Master Planning Method are easy to understand and its Supplement, have been written in easy-to-understand language, which have been well received by the majority of workers in China.

China also advocates the development of applied mathematics and computers according to the reality of China and the international trend. He personally went to 27 provinces and cities to promote the application of mathematical methods for 20 years and made great contributions to economic construction.

During this period, he made great efforts to explore the ways in which mathematics could serve the economic construction. In the article How to Use Mathematics, he brilliantly expounded the use of mathematics from all aspects. He also published a series of articles entitled "The Use of Mathematics" in People's Daily in very popular language, introduced some useful mathematical methods, and brilliantly summarized his experience in popularizing mathematical methods.
