Hua is a gifted mathematician who is self-taught, the pioneer of modern mathematics in China, and undoubtedly the most outstanding mathematician among many mathematicians. Hua became a world-class mathematician through self-study, and made outstanding contributions in a wide range of mathematical fields, such as analytic number theory, matrix geometry, canonical group, automorphic function theory, multiple complex variable function theory, partial differential equations, high-dimensional numerical integration and so on. He is either the founder of these mathematical fields or a pioneer. In a sense, he is also a legendary mathematician. The highest diploma in his life is junior high school. After learning about the great achievements made in the United States in his early years, he issued an appeal, hoping that scientists abroad would study hard and return to China to serve the motherland. Many contemporary scientists made great contributions to China after returning to China, among which Qian Xuesen, the father of missiles, made great contributions to the China rocket. In addition, Hua is listed as one of the 88 great mathematicians in the world 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.".
Second, China famous mathematician-Xu Guangqi
Xu Guangqi (a pioneer in communicating Chinese and Western cultures)
Xu Guangqi (1562.4.24-1633.11.8), a native of fahuahui in Shanghai county, Han nationality, was a famous scientist and politician in Ming dynasty.
Chongzhen court official, does history, Wenyuange university, cabinet assistant minister. Xu Guangqi devoted his life to the study of mathematics, astronomy, calendar, water conservancy and other aspects, and wrote a lot, especially agronomy, and translated books such as Geometry Elements, Taixi Water Law, and Encyclopedia of Agricultural Administration. At the same time, he is also a pioneer in communicating Chinese and western cultures. It has made important contributions to the cultural exchange between China and the West in the17th century.
Third, Liu Hui, a famous mathematician in China.
Liu Hui (born around 250 AD) is a very great mathematician in the history of Chinese mathematics, and also occupies a prominent position in the history of world mathematics. His representative works "Nine Arithmetic Notes" and "Calculation on the Island" are the most precious mathematical heritages of China. Liu Hui's life is a life of hard exploration of mathematics. Although the status is low, but the personality is noble. He is not a mediocre man who pursues fame and fortune, but he never tires of learning.
Fourth, China's famous mathematician-Chen Shengshen.
Chen Shengshen, the pioneer of modern differential geometry, won the Wolff Prize for Lifetime Achievement in Mathematics! His outstanding contribution to global differential geometry has influenced the development of mathematics for more than half a century. He founded and presided over three major mathematical research institutes, bringing up a group of mathematicians. He has made many contributions in the field of differential geometry, such as "Chen space", "Chen indicator class" and "Chen fiber" named after him A mathematician said that "Chen Shengshen is a modern differential geometry", which may be the best evaluation for him! ! The five most famous mathematicians in China are 3: 3. Sue is a world-famous differential geometer and the pioneer of the school of projective differential geometry. In his early years, he made contributions to affine differential geometry and projective differential geometry. In the forties and fifties, he began to study the general differential geometry of space, and in the sixties he also studied the theory of high-dimensional space. Since 1970s, he has initiated a new research direction-computational geometry in China, which has made great contributions to the modernization of mathematics in China!
5. Zu Chongzhi, a famous mathematician in China
Zu Chongzhi was born in Laiyuan County, Hebei Province during the Northern and Southern Dynasties. He read many books on astronomy and mathematics since childhood, studied hard and practiced hard, and finally made him an outstanding mathematician and astronomer in ancient China.
Zu Chongzhi's outstanding achievement in mathematics is about the calculation of pi. Zu Chongzhi exhibited famous works at that time and insisted on seeking truth from facts. By comparing and analyzing a large amount of data he calculated, he found serious mistakes in previous calendars and dared to improve them. At the age of 33, he successfully compiled the Daming Calendar, which opened a new era in calendar history.
Zu Chongzhi and his son Zuxuan (also a famous mathematician in China) solved the calculation of the volume of a sphere with ingenious methods. They adopted a principle at that time: "If the power supply potential is the same, the products should not be different." That is to say, two solids located between two parallel planes are cut by any plane parallel to these two planes. If the areas of two sections are always equal, then the volumes of two solids are equal. This principle is based on the following points.
6. Chen Jingrun, a famous mathematician in China
Chen Jingrun, a famous mathematician in China, Chen Jingrun, graduated from the Mathematics Department of Xiamen University (19 photo). From 1953 to 1954, I taught in Beijing No.4 Middle School. Because of slurred speech, he was refused to teach on the platform and could only correct his homework. Later, he was "suspended from his hometown to recuperate" and transferred back to Xiamen University as an information officer. At the same time, he studied the close relationship between number theory and combinatorial mathematics and modern economic management, scientific experiments, cutting-edge technology and human life. 1956 transferred to Institute of Mathematics, China Academy of Sciences. 1980 was elected as a member of the Department of Physics and Mathematics of China Academy of Sciences (now an academician).
His achievements in studying Goldbach conjecture and other number theory problems are still far ahead in the world, and he is called the first person of Goldbach conjecture. Andre Weil, a world-class mathematician and American scholar, once praised him: "Every job in Chen Jingrun seems to be walking on the top of the Himalayas." He has been a researcher at the Institute of Mathematics of China Academy of Sciences, a member of the academic committee of the Institute, a professor at Guiyang University for Nationalities, Henan University, Qingdao University, Huazhong University of Science and Technology and Fujian Normal University, a member of the Mathematics Discipline Group of the State Science and Technology Commission, and the editor-in-chief of Mathematics Quarterly.
