When Hua was in junior high school, he met Wang Weike and Miss Li, who appreciated his mathematical talent, and carefully guided and trained him. Therefore, it laid the mathematical foundation of China. In the Republic of China 18, Wang Weike was appointed as the principal of Jintan Junior High School, invited Huawei's clerk, and the following year invited him as the math teacher of Grade One. Wang Weike was criticized for this and angrily resigned as the principal. Fahrenheit failed to teach in the end, but he worked hard at self-study. And began to write mathematical papers and submit them to magazines. His famous work is why Su Jiaju's algebraic quintic equation can't be established, which was published in Science magazine. Therefore, this article was appreciated by Xiong Qinglai, head of the Department of Mathematics of Tsinghua University, and he was hired as the library assistant of the department. At that time, Tsinghua Mathematics Department was full of talents, and Xiong Qinglai, Yang Wuzhi and Sun Guangyuan, as well as foreign mathematicians Jacques Hadamard and norbert wiener all favored Fahrenheit and gave him important guidance and help.
In 22 years, Tsinghua hired him as a teaching assistant to teach calculus. In 24 years, Tsinghua University promoted Huawei teachers again. In 25 years, he went to Cambridge University as a visiting scholar on the recommendation of Xiong Qinglai. In 27 years, after returning to Tsinghua, Peking University and Nankai, Tsinghua broke the system three times and hired him as Professor Tsinghua.
During the UN General Assembly, Hua carried out arduous teaching and research work, and together with Xu, he was called the "three outstanding figures" in the Department of Mathematics. In this issue, the famous book "The Theory of Prime Number of Stacking Bases" won the first prize of natural science at the first academic review meeting of the Ministry of Education. Einstein wrote a letter saying, "Your discovery has opened an important source for future mathematics." In the spring of 1935, he visited the Soviet Union at the invitation of the Soviet Academy of Sciences. In autumn, he visited America at the invitation of Princeton University. Both the University and the University of Illinois were willing to give him a higher professional title and high salary, but he resolutely gave up and returned to Tsinghua to teach.
Since then, while insisting on academic research and education, he has also engaged in academic activities and scientific knowledge popularization activities at home and abroad.
1June, 985 12, in an academic exchange activity in Japan, he "died gloriously at the post of science forum" at the age of 74.
Hua used to say before his death, "People have more education than I do, and I have to spend twice as much time to remedy my shortcomings, so I have to work more than 12 hours a day before I can feel at ease." He was like this when he first entered Qing University, when he was a teaching assistant, when he was a professor, and after he became famous in the world. Therefore, genius comes from hard work. In order to save public funds, when he went to Cambridge, England at public expense, he did not study for a doctorate, but became a visiting scholar. Because he is only paid for two years at public expense, as a visiting scholar, he can read more mathematics freely. He has no problem getting a doctorate in every paper. So at that time, the famous Cambridge teacher G·h· Hardy said, "Hua was the first oriental who didn't want a Cambridge degree."
Hua, a modern mathematician in China. 19101012 was born in Jintan county, Jiangsu province. 1June 1985 12 died in Tokyo, Japan. After graduating from junior high school, Hua 1924 studied in Shanghai China Vocational School for less than one year. He dropped out of school because of his poor family. He studies mathematics hard. 1930 He published an article on solving algebraic equations in Science, which attracted the attention of experts. He was invited to work in Tsinghua University and began to study number theory. 1934, became a researcher of China Education and Culture Foundation. 1936 went to Cambridge University as a visiting scholar. 1938 returned to China and was employed by Professor The National SouthWest Associated University. 1946 was invited by the Institute of Advanced Studies in Princeton, Soviet Union as a researcher and taught at Princeton University. From 65438 to 0948, he was a professor at the University of Illinois.
After returning to China from 65438 to 0950, he successively served as Professor Tsinghua University, Head and Vice President of the Department of Mathematics of China University of Science and Technology, Director of the Institute of Mathematics of China Academy of Sciences, Director of the Institute of Applied Mathematics of China Academy of Sciences and Vice President of China Academy of Sciences. Hua is also a member of the first, second, third, fourth and fifth sessions of the NPC Standing Committee and vice chairman of the National Committee of the Sixth China People's Political Consultative Conference.
Hua is an internationally famous mathematician. He has made outstanding contributions in a wide range of mathematical fields, such as analytic number theory, matrix geometry, theory of multiple complex variables and partial differential equations. Because of his contribution, many theorems, lemmas, inequalities and methods are named after him. In order to promote the optimization method, Hua personally led a small team to 27 provinces to promote the application of mathematical methods for more than 20 years, which achieved obvious economic and social benefits and made great contributions to China's economic construction.
Chen Jingrun became an internationally renowned mathematician and was deeply respected by people. However, instead of being complacent, he attributed all the credit to the motherland and the people. In order to safeguard the interests of the motherland, he did not hesitate to sacrifice his personal fame and fortune.
1977 One day, Chen Jingrun received a letter from the president of the International Federation of Mathematicians, inviting him to attend the International Congress of Mathematicians. There are 3000 people present at this meeting, all of whom are world-famous mathematicians. Chen Jingrun is one of 10 mathematicians designated by the congress to give academic reports. This is a great honor for a mathematician and is of great benefit to enhancing Chen Jingrun's international reputation.
Chen Jingrun didn't make a good claim, but immediately reported to the party branch of the institute and asked the party for instructions. The Party branch reported this situation to the Academy of Sciences. The Party organization of the Academy of Sciences was cautious about this issue, because China's seat in the International Federation of Mathematicians had been occupied by Taiwan Province Province.
The leader of the hospital replied: "You are a mathematician, and the party organization respects your personal opinion. You can write back to him yourself. "
After careful consideration, Chen Jingrun finally decided to give up this rare opportunity. In his reply to the president of the International Federation of Mathematicians, he wrote: "First, China has always attached importance to developing academic exchanges and friendly relations with countries around the world. I personally thank the President of the International Federation of Mathematicians for his invitation. Second, there is only one China in the world, the only one that can represent the interests of the broad masses of people in China is People's Republic of China (PRC), and Taiwan Province Province is an inalienable part of People's Republic of China (PRC). I can't attend because Taiwan Province Province currently occupies the seat of the International Federation of Mathematicians in China. Third, if China has only one representative, I can consider attending this meeting. " In order to safeguard the dignity of the motherland, Chen Jingrun sacrificed his personal interests.
From 65438 to 0979, Chen Jingrun went to the United States for a short-term research visit at the invitation of Princeton Institute for Advanced Studies. The conditions at Princeton College are very good. In order to make full use of such good conditions, Chen Jingrun squeezed out all the time he could save, worked hard and didn't even go back to his place to eat lunch. Sometimes he goes out for a meeting and the hotel is noisy, so he hides in the bathroom to continue his research work. Because of his efforts, during his short five months in the United States, he not only attended meetings and lectures, but also finished the paper "The Minimum Prime Number in arithmetic progression", which pushed the minimum prime number from 80 to 16 at once. This research result was also the most advanced in the world at that time.
In a relatively developed country like the United States, Chen Jingrun still maintains a frugal style at home. He can get 2000 yuan from the institute a month, which can be said to be quite rich. Every noon, he never goes to the institute canteen for dinner. It's exquisite, and he can enjoy it completely, but he always eats the dry food and fruit he brings. He was so frugal that he lived in the United States for five months. Excluding rent, utilities and $65,438+0,800, he only spent $700 on meals. When he came back, * * * saved 7500 dollars.
The money was not a small sum at that time. He could have bought some high-end home appliances from abroad like others. But he gave all his money to the country. What does he think? In his own words: "Our country is not rich yet, so I can't just think about pleasure."
Chen Jingrun is such a very modest and upright person. Although he has made a name for himself, he is not complacent. He said: "I just climbed a hill on the road of science and haven't climbed the real peak yet." I have to keep working hard. "
