However, the clever boy dropped out of school after finishing middle school because his family was poor. He returned home and did business in his small grocery store, selling cigarettes, needle and thread, etc., and shouldered the burden of bringing home the bacon for his father. However, Hua still loves mathematics. If you can't go to school, try to learn by yourself. On one occasion, he borrowed some math books from his teacher, and became fascinated when he saw them. From then on, he studied mathematics while doing business and accounting. Sometimes he is so absorbed in reading that he forgets to say hello when people buy things. In the evening, after the shop closed, he wandered around the kingdom of mathematics wholeheartedly. For a whole year, I spent more than ten hours studying the borrowed math books almost every day. Sometimes when I sleep until midnight and think of a solution to a difficult math problem, he will definitely turn over, light a small oil lamp and write down the solution.
At this time, he got typhoid fever. He stayed in bed for half a year and finally recovered his life, but his left foot was disabled for life. Puzzled by poverty and disease, Hua still devoted all his energy to mathematical research, and published several important papers one after another, which attracted the attention of Professor Xiong Qinglai of Tsinghua University.
From 65438 to 0932, with the help of Professor Xiong Qinglai, Hua went to the Mathematics Department of Tsinghua University and became an administrator. He wants to do a few things by himself, but he continues to teach himself courses, and he also teaches himself English and German, so he can write papers in English.
1936 Visiting study at Cambridge University, UK. 1938 became a professor in The National SouthWest Associated University after returning to China. From 65438 to 0946, he went to the United States and served as a researcher at Princeton Institute of Mathematics, a professor at Princeton University and the University of Illinois, and returned to China from 65438 to 0950. He has served as Professor Tsinghua University, director and honorary director of Institute of Mathematics and Institute of Applied Mathematics of China Academy of Sciences, chairman and honorary chairman of Chinese Mathematical Society, director of National Mathematical Competition Committee, foreign academician of American National Academy of Sciences, academician of Third World Academy of Sciences, academician of Bavarian Academy of Sciences of the Federal Republic of Germany, deputy director, vice president and presidium member of physics department, mathematics and chemistry of China Academy of Sciences, director and vice president of mathematics department of China University of Science and Technology, vice chairman of China Association for Science and Technology, and member of the State Council Academic Degree Committee. He was a member of the first to sixth the NPC Standing Committee and vice-chairman of the sixth China People's Political Consultative Conference. He was awarded an honorary doctorate by Nancy University in France, The Chinese University of Hong Kong and the University of Illinois in the United States. Mainly engaged in the research and teaching of analytic number theory, matrix geometry, typical groups, automorphic function theory, multiple complex variable function theory, partial differential equations, high-dimensional numerical integration and other fields, and has made outstanding achievements. In the 1940s, the historical problem of Gaussian complete trigonometric sum estimation was solved, and the best error order estimation was obtained (this result is widely used in number theory). The results of G.H. Hardy and J.E. Littlewood on the Welling problem and E. Wright on the Tully problem have been greatly improved and are still the best records.
In algebra, the basic theorem of one-dimensional projective geometry left over from history for a long time is proved. This paper gives a simple and direct proof that the normal child of an object must be contained in its center, which is Hua theorem. His monograph "On Prime Numbers of Pile Foundations" systematically summarizes, develops and perfects Hardy and Littlewood's circle method, vinogradov's triangle sum estimation method and his own method. After more than 40 years of publication, its main achievements still occupy the leading position in the world, and it has been translated into Russian, Hungarian, Japanese, German and English, becoming one of the classic works of number theory in the 20th century. His monograph "Harmonic Analysis on Typical Fields of Multiple Complex Variables" gives the complete orthogonal system of typical fields with accurate analysis and matrix skills, combined with group representation theory, and thus gives the expressions of Cauchy and Poisson kernel. This work has a wide and deep influence on harmonic analysis, complex analysis and differential equations, and won the first prize of China Natural Science Award. Advocating the development of applied mathematics and computer, he has published many books such as Master Planning Method and Optimization Research, which have been popularized in China. In cooperation with Professor Wang Yuan, he has made important achievements in the application research of modern number theory methods, which is called "Hua Wang Fa". He made great contributions to the development of mathematics education and the popularization of science. He has published more than 200 research papers and dozens of monographs and popular science works.
