Born in 1930, academician of China Academy of Sciences, winner of China Mathematics Prize. He is the best mathematician in China.

1952 graduated from the Department of Mathematics of Zhejiang University, and was recommended by Su He Chen, a leading figure in mathematics at that time, to work in the Institute of Mathematics of Chinese Academy of Sciences. Here, he met Mr. Hua, a famous mathematician in China. Under the guidance of Mr. Hua, he began to study number theory. Through unremitting efforts, he has made great progress in the application of analytic number theory, algebraic number theory and number theory methods.

He applied the number theory he learned to the famous mathematical problem-Goldbach conjecture.

Goldbach conjecture is a conjecture put forward by Goldbach in his letter to Euler in 1742: any even number greater than 2 can be written as the sum of two prime numbers. Of course, for the general public, this understanding is 1+ 1. Of course, "1+ 1" is not so well proved. In order to realize this proof, scientists adopted a gradual method, that is, "a+b" method to demonstrate.

For example, 1920, Norway's Brown proved "9+9", then 1924, Germany's Ratmacher proved "7+7" and so on.

By the 1950s, Goldbach's conjecture had not made any progress for many years.

At this time, the appearance of Wang Yuan brought new hope to Goldbach's conjecture.

1956, Wang Yuan proved "3+4" with the method of number theory, and then he further demonstrated "3+3" and "2+3", which caused a great sensation. You know, this is the first time that China has made progress in this respect, and it has been proved by three times in succession.

At 1962, he confirmed "1+4".

It can be said that in the whole history of Goldbach's conjecture demonstration, no one has ever demonstrated four Rainbow dollars, which is unprecedented.

Wang Yuan can be said to be an important founder of mathematics in China, and his research has won the attention of academic circles.

In addition, together with Hua, he opened up the research direction of higher-order numerical integration and founded the "Hua-Wang method". Later, he made great progress in the study of Diophantine.

It can be said that Wang Yuan is a master of mathematics in contemporary China and even China.
