19101012 was born in a small businessman's family in Jintan county, Jiangsu province. His father Hua Ruidong runs a small grocery store and his mother is a virtuous housewife. /kloc-at the age of 0/2, after graduating from Renmao Primary School in the county town, he could not enter high school, so he had to study accounting in the Chinese Vocational School founded by Huang Yanpei in Shanghai. In less than a year, he was forced to drop out of school because of the high living expenses and returned to Jintan to help his father manage the grocery store.
In the monotonous life of standing at the counter, he began to teach himself mathematics. /kloc-married Wu Xiaozhi in the autumn of 0/927. 1In the autumn of 929, Hua was employed as a clerk in Jintan Middle School and began to publish papers in Shanghai Science and other magazines. 1929 In the winter, he got severe typhoid fever. After nearly half a year's treatment, he fell ill.
In fact, when Hua was in junior high school, his homework was not good once, and sometimes he failed in the math exam. At that time, Wang Weike (1900 was born in Jintan), a famous Chinese educator and translator, found that Hua was fun-loving, but his thinking was quick, and his math exercises were often changed, so his method of solving problems was very unique and original. On one occasion, the teacher of Jintan Middle School lamented that the school was a "poor student"
Only then did Wang Weike say, "Not necessarily. In my opinion, China is one! " "Hua Luogeng?" A teacher smiled and said, "Look at him, this word is like a crab crawling. Can he become a' talent'? " Wang Weike said with some excitement, "Of course, he has little hope of becoming a great calligrapher, but how can you see his talent in mathematics from between his lines?" You know, gold is buried in sand and looks no different from sand. What we need most as teachers' eyes is the ability to find gold in the sand, otherwise we will bury talents! "
1in the spring of 930, his paper "Why the solution of the quintic equation of Su Jiaju algebra can't be established" was published in Shanghai Science Journal. After seeing it, Professor Xiong Qinglai, then the head of the Department of Mathematics in Tsinghua University, inquired about it in many ways and recommended him to be a librarian in the Department of Mathematics of Tsinghua University. At the turn of autumn and winter, Hua walked into the Tsinghua campus.
Hua used to work and study in Tsinghua University. It took him two years to complete the road that ordinary people need eight years to complete. 1933 was promoted to teaching assistant and became 1935 lecturer. /kloc-0 was recommended by Tsinghua University in 1936, and was recommended to study in Cambridge University in England. During his two years in Cambridge, he devoted all his energy to the study of difficult problems in mathematical theory. Unwilling to waste time in applying for a degree, his research results have attracted the attention of the international mathematics community. 1938 returned to China and was employed by Professor The National SouthWest Associated University. From 1939 to 194 1, he wrote more than 20 papers under extremely difficult conditions and completed his first mathematical monograph, Iteration Theory. He also actively participated in the anti-Japanese democratic and patriotic movement that was in full swing at that time. The theory of calculating basic elements later became a classic of mathematics. 1947 was published in Russian in the Soviet Union and translated and published in German, English, Hungarian and Chinese in various countries.
1946 was invited to visit the Soviet union from February to May. 1946, the Kuomintang launched a civil war, and the whole city of Kunming was in panic. He left Kunming for Shanghai in June, and left Shanghai for the United States with Li Zhengdao and Zhu Guangya in September. He first served as a visiting professor at Princeton Institute for Advanced Studies, and later was hired as a tenured professor by the University of Illinois.
After the founding of New China 1949, Hua was very excited and decided to return home with his family. The five of them left the United States by boat and arrived in Hong Kong on February 1950. He published an open letter in Hongkong to students studying in the United States, full of patriotic passion, and encouraged them to come back and serve the new China. March 1 1 day, broadcast by Xinhua News Agency.
Hua returned to Tsinghua campus and served as the head of the Department of Mathematics of Tsinghua University. Then, at the invitation of Guo Moruo, president of China Academy of Sciences, he established the Institute of Mathematics. 1952 In July, the Institute of Mathematics was established with him as its director. He devoted himself to training mathematical talents for New China, and Wang Yuan, Lu Qikeng, Gong Sheng, Chen Jingrun and Wan Zhexian all became famous mathematicians under his training.
In just a few years after returning to China, his research in the field of mathematics has been fruitful. His thesis "On Functions of Multiple Complex Variables in Typical Fields" won the first prize of national invention 1957+ 10, and has been published in Chinese, Russian and English. 1957 published Introduction to Number Theory; 1959, Leipzig first published the estimation of exponential sum and its application in number theory in German, and then successively published Russian and Chinese versions. 1963, he and his student Wan Zhexian co-wrote a book "Typical Groups" and published it. In order to cultivate young people's enthusiasm for learning mathematics, he initiated and organized a mathematics competition for middle school students in Beijing, and personally participated in setting questions, invigilating and marking papers, and publicized this activity many times in other places. He also wrote a series of popular math books, which had a great influence on young people. He advocates cultivating academic atmosphere and developing academics in scientific research.
China participated in various social activities in New China with a high degree of patriotic enthusiasm. 1953 Participated in a delegation of scientists from China visiting the Soviet Union. As a representative of China mathematicians, he attended the first World Congress of Mathematicians held in Hungary after World War II. He also participated in the Asia-Pacific Peace Conference and the World Peace Council. 1958, he and Guo Moruo led the China delegation to attend the "Coordination on Science, Technology and Engineering Issues" held in New Delhi.
1958, Hua was appointed vice president of China University of Science and Technology and head of the Department of Applied Mathematics. While continuing to study mathematical theory, he tried to find a way to combine mathematics with industrial and agricultural practice. After a period of practice, he found that the overall planning method and optimization method in mathematics are commonly used in industrial and agricultural production, which can improve work efficiency and change the face of work management. So, he gave a lecture at the University of Science and Technology. While leading students to popularize optimization methods and overall planning methods in industrial and agricultural practice, he wrote a letter to Chairman Mao at the beginning of 0964, expressing his determination to take the road of combining industry and agriculture. In March of the same year 18, Chairman Mao wrote back in person: "Poetry and letters have been read. Great ambition, congratulations. " He wrote "Overall Planning Method and Supplement" and "Excellent" to personally lead the teachers and students of China University of Science and Technology to popularize and apply "Double Method" in some enterprises and factories to serve industrial and agricultural production. "Going to Jianghan in summer to fight the heat, and going to first frost in Songliao in winter" is a portrayal of his life at that time. Chairman Mao wrote another letter to him in 1965, congratulating and encouraging him to "work hard and serve the people, not the individual". 38660.6866868866 1
After the "Cultural Revolution" began, Hua, who promoted the "double law" in other places, was called back to Beijing by express telegram to write an inspection and accept criticism. After learning of this situation, Premier Zhou Enlai instructed: "It is still necessary to implement the overall planning method." 1in April, 970, the State Council invited the heads of seven industrial departments to listen to Professor Hua's lecture on optimization method and master planning method. After that, it depends on personal reputation. Elite personnel were seconded to various places to form a "group to promote the optimal selection method and the overall planning method" and personally led a team to promote the "double methods" throughout the country to serve industrial and agricultural production. The team has been to 26 provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities directly under the central government, and has set off mass scientific experiments and practical activities everywhere, and achieved great economic and social benefits. His work has been concerned and supported by Hu Yaobang, Ye Jianying and other comrades.
1975, when he promoted "double therapy" in Daxinganling, he suffered the first myocardial infarction because of overwork.
After the downfall of the Gang of Four, he was appointed vice president of China Academy of Sciences. His research achievements for many years, Starting with the Unit Circle, Application of Number Theory in Approximate Analysis (in cooperation with Wang Yuan) and Optimization Research, have also been officially published. 1979 In May, after being isolated from the world 10 years, he went to Western Europe for seven months.
1982, 1 1 month, the second myocardial infarction.
1983 10 went to the United States for a one-year lecture at the invitation of California Institute of Technology. During his stay in the United States, he went to Park Jung-soo, Italy to attend the inaugural meeting of the Third World Academy of Sciences and was elected as an academician. 1in April, 984, he attended the ceremony of awarding him a foreign academician by the American Academy of Sciences in Washington, D.C., and he was the first China person to receive this honor. 1985 was elected as the vice chairman of the CPPCC at the Third Session of the Sixth CPPCC in April.
Hua has done a lot of social work. He was a member of the first to sixth the NPC Standing Committee Committee. He joined the NLD in September 1952 and was elected as the vice chairman of the NLD Central Committee in June 1979. 1June, 979 put forward the request to join the China * * * production party, and was approved to join the China * * * production party. In response to Comrade Deng's encouragement, he said: "The horizontal knife doesn't care about the head.
June 3 1985 Visited Japan at the invitation of Japan Asian Cultural Exchange Association. 12 On June 2nd, at 4 pm, he 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 accepted the flowers, his body suddenly leaned back and fell to the pulpit.
Hua's achievements in mathematics in his life are enormous. He has made outstanding contributions in many fields, such as number theory, matrix geometry, typical groups, automorphic function theory, multiple complex variable function theory, partial differential equations, high-dimensional numerical integration and so on. The main reason for his great achievements lies in his sincere patriotism and indomitable spirit of innovation. It is precisely because of this that he can resolutely give up the generous treatment of tenured professors in the United States and welcome the dawn of the motherland. Only in this way can he resist criticism and attack, work hard instead of serving himself, and become an outstanding scientist with a good reputation at home and abroad.
China Institute of Optimization, Overall Planning and Economic Mathematics
Comrade Hua is a great mathematician, party member, the Communist Party of China, an outstanding leader of China Democratic League, an outstanding scientist, educator and social activist, Vice Chairman Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, member of the Presidium and Faculty of China Academy of Sciences, and Vice Chairman of China Association for Science and Technology. 1June 1985 12 passed away in Tokyo at the age of 74. The death of Comrade Hua is the scientific and technological cause of our party and people.
1924 graduated from junior high school of Jintan County Middle School and entered Shanghai China Vocational School. Because of his poor family, he left school a year later and became an apprentice in the small grocery store run by his father. During this period, he taught himself mathematics in his spare time. 1929 worked as chief accountant in Jintan middle school. He began to publish papers in Shanghai Science Journal. His thesis "Why Su Jiaju's Algebraic quintic Equation Solution Can't Be Established" has attracted the attention of Professor Xiong Qinglai, head of the Department of Mathematics of Tsinghua University. 193 1 year. On the recommendation of Professor Xiong, he went to work in Tsinghua University. It took him only eight years to go to Cambridge University in England as an administrator, teaching assistant and lecturer. 1938, he was hired as a professor at Kunming National Southwest Associated University. Under extremely difficult living conditions, he taught during the day and worked tirelessly under the vegetable oil lamp at night, and wrote the famous book On Accumulation Primitive. However, under the rule of the Kuomintang, this masterpiece could not be published, so it had to be published abroad, and it was not officially published in China until after liberation. 1in the autumn of 946, forced by the white terror, he left the United States and successively served as a researcher at Princeton Institute for Advanced Studies and a tenured professor at the University of Illinois. 195O, in response to the call of the motherland, comrades resolutely returned to Beijing from the United States. He has served as Professor Tsinghua University, Director of the Institute of Mathematics of China Academy of Sciences, Chairman of the Chinese Mathematical Society, Member and Deputy Director of the Department of Mathematics and Physics of China Academy of Sciences, Director and Vice President of the Department of Mathematics of the University of Science and Technology of China, Director of the Institute of Applied Mathematics of China Academy of Sciences, Vice President of China Academy of Sciences, and Dean of the Institute of Optimization Method and Economic Mathematics of China. He devoted his whole life to the development of science in his motherland, especially in mathematics research.
His famous academic paper "On Functions of Multiple Complex Variables in Typical Fields" won the first prize of China Science in 1957 for its pioneering work in the field of mathematics. Its research results have been named Fahrenheit Theorem, Brouwer-Gadang-Hua Theorem and Hua-Wang (Yuan) Method by the international mathematical community. Eight of them have been translated and published abroad, and some of them have been included in the mathematical classics of this century. He also wrote more than ten popular science works. Because of his outstanding achievements in scientific research, he was successively elected as a foreign academician of the American Academy of Sciences, an academician of the Third World Academy of Sciences, an honorary doctor of Nancy University in France, an honorary doctor of the University of Illinois in the United States, an academician of the Chinese University of Hong Kong, and an academician of the Bavarian Academy of Sciences in the Federal Republic of Germany. His name has gone down in the annals of internationally renowned scientists. Comrade Hua is the pride of the scientific community in China and the Chinese nation.
Comrade Hua was also the earliest scientist in China who closely combined the research of mathematical theory with production practice and made great contributions. From the end of 1950s, he walked out of his study and classroom and entered the vast industrial and agricultural production practice. He creatively applied mathematical methods to the field of national economy, and screened out the "optimization method" with the content of improving production technology and quality and the "overall planning method" (referred to as "double method") with the content of dealing with production organization and management problems. He wrote two popular science books in easy-to-understand language, namely "Optimization Method and its Supplement" and "Common Methods and Their Supplement". For more than 20 years, Comrade Hua has traveled to 26 provinces, municipalities and autonomous regions in China to promote the "Double Laws". He organized and led workers, peasants, soldiers and engineers and technicians to participate in the promotion, which made the "double method" widely popularized and popularized. Not only has it achieved remarkable economic benefits for saving energy, increasing production, reducing consumption and shortening the construction period, but it has also trained a scientific and technological team to serve the national economy. Comrade Mao Zedong spoke highly of Comrade Hua's scientific innovation, and wrote to Comrade Hua twice in 1964 and 1965, congratulating and encouraging him to "aim high and be congratulated" and "work hard and serve the people instead of individuals". During the ten years of turmoil. When the comrades in China were persecuted by the counter-revolutionary groups of Lin Biao and Jiang Qing, they bravely stood up, protected Comrade China and supported him to continue the research and promotion of the "Double Laws". Comrade Hu Yaobang 1982 wrote to Comrade China, fully affirming his application of mathematical theory to production practice, and calling on "more comrades to join the ranks of tackling key problems with new technologies and new processes, so as to push forward China's four modernizations".
Comrade Hua is an outstanding representative of intellectuals in China. He has gone through two different times, old and new, and changed from a patriot to a fighter. In his early years, he participated in the anti-Japanese democratic and patriotic movement led by the China Producer Party and was a close friend of the martyrs Li Gongpu and Wen Yiduo. 1In the spring of 946, he was invited to visit the Soviet Union and wrote "Visit to the Soviet Union in March", expressing his yearning for socialism. This further inspired his patriotic enthusiasm. Seeing "the dawn of the motherland", he gave up the generous treatment of tenured professors in the United States, broke through the heavy blockade and returned to the embrace of the motherland. On the ship crossing the Pacific Ocean, he wrote to the students studying in the United States: "In order to choose the truth, we should go back;" For the sake of the nation, we should go back; In order to serve the people, we should also go back ... and strive for the construction and development of our great motherland! " He is patriotic and innocent, and is praised by the broad masses of people and all patriotic intellectuals. In the long-term scientific research work, especially in the process of combining scientific research with production practice, Comrade Hua studied Marxism-Leninism and Mao Zedong Thought, improved his ideological and political consciousness, and strongly urged him to join the China * * * Production Party and fight for the cause of * * *. Although he was in adversity during ten years of turmoil, he did not waver in his belief in the party. Since I set things right, I have wholeheartedly supported the line, principles and policies of the Party since the Third Plenary Session of the Eleventh Central Committee, and I feel comfortable and refreshed. 1979, under the cordial care of the CPC Central Committee, he gloriously joined the China * * * Production Party and realized his long-cherished wish. In his congratulatory message to Comrade Deng, he wrote excitedly: "The sea doesn't donate a drop of water, but the furnace turns sand into gold. It fully shows the firm belief and noble sentiment of a proletarian warrior. He took joining the Party as a new starting point for his own way forward, and demanded himself more strictly. Despite his old age and infirmity, with amazing perseverance, after three years of hard work, he finally recalled the manuscript stolen in the ten-year catastrophe and wrote the Mathematical Theory of Large-scale Optimization of Planned Economy, which not only completely recorded the previous research results, but also made new development.
