Personality assessment

Mr. Chen Shengshen is an internationally renowned master of mathematics. Mr. Chen initiated and led the research in the fields of global differential geometry, fiber bundle differential geometry and "Chen Province Physics Course". His outstanding contribution to global differential geometry influenced the development of the whole mathematics.

The death of Mr. Chen Shengshen is a great loss to the international and China scientific and technological circles, and it also makes us lose a respected teacher. Mr. Chen Shengshen's dedication to science, his pursuit of truth and his achievements in science will go down in history forever.
