Professor Qiu Chengtong is a famous mathematician and is currently a professor in the Department of Mathematics of Harvard University. Of course, we all know that he is Pei Zheng's alumnus (Hao She in' 66) and recently went to his alma mater. Professor Qiu Chengtong's first historic achievement in mathematics was to solve a big problem in geometry-Calabi conjecture in 1976. He also combined differential geometry and differential equation to consider and solve problems, which had far-reaching influence. Because of this achievement, Professor Qiu Chengtong of Medal﹙ won the highest honor in mathematics 1982. Since then, Professor Qiu Chengtong has made many outstanding achievements in geometry, topology and physics. For example, he studied general relativity and black hole theory in physics with few curved surfaces. Because of these achievements, Professor Qiu Chengtong almost won the math prize. In 1994, he was awarded the Prize﹙ by the Royal Swiss Academy of Sciences. 1May, 997, Professor Qiu Chengtong's achievement was once again affirmed, that is, he won the highest scientific award in the United States-Science-National Medal, which was awarded by the President of the United States. This award, known as the American Nobel Prize, was selected by physics, mathematics, biology, chemistry, engineering and medicine. 1998 On July 4th, Qiu Chengtong gave a lecture entitled "Mathematics in China and Hong Kong —— 2/kloc-the challenge of the 20th century" at the Chinese University of Hong Kong in China. In the lecture, he reviewed the development of modern mathematics in China and Hong Kong, emphasized the importance of Kitchu science, and pointed out the challenges faced by China and Hong Kong in the 2nd/kloc-0 century. In his speech, Qiu Chengtong once mentioned: "... Pei Zheng, his alma mater, has trained many first-class scientists. Among mathematicians, there are Xiao, Wang Shiquan and Zheng, while other predecessors, such as He, deserve the Nobel Prize for their achievements. When I returned to my alma mater this time, I was glad to see that my teachers were dedicated and my classmates were diligent enough to keep my reputation alive for a hundred years. "In another speech in Tsinghua University, Taiwan Province Province, China, he talked about his reading and research experience. He said: "A good study is not done overnight. Often done a hundred times, ninety-nine times are wrong, and the last time is successful. " That is, he introduced Qu Yuan. "Lu Manman is Xiu Yuan Xi, and I want to go up and down." Represents the first level of learning. Although most of what he talked about in his speech was the experience of studying or researching in university, it is important that when he talked about studying plane geometry in middle school, he found the problem himself and made great efforts to find the answer, so that he had a lot of understanding of geometric mathematics and began to realize the essence of doing mathematics.

Qiu Chengtong (1April 4th, 949 ——) (English name Shing-Tung Yau) was born in Jiaoling County, Meizhou, Guangdong Province, and grew up in Hongkong, China. A famous mathematician. One of the winners of the Fields Medal, the highest honor in mathematics. Photo reference: upload.wikimedia/ * * */ZH/D/D8/Shingtungyau Qiu Chengtong, taken in the cafeteria of Harvard Law School [Editor] Born in Qiu Chengtong on1April 4, 949 in Shantou, Guangdong Province, there are eight brothers and sisters. After that, the whole family moved to China and Hongkong. /kloc-When he was 0/4 years old, his father who taught philosophy at the university died and was raised by his mother alone. The middle school was enrolled in Peizheng Middle School in China, and 1966 was enrolled in the Department of Mathematics of Chung Chi College, The Chinese University of Hong Kong, China. In the third year of college, Stephen Saraf went to the University of California, Berkeley for further study, and studied under Chen Shengshen. 197 1 After receiving his doctorate, he did postdoctoral research at the Institute of Advanced Mathematics for one year, and then worked as an assistant professor at the State University of New York at Stony Brook for two years. 1974 became an associate professor at Stanford university. 1979 returned to the Institute of Advanced Mathematics as a professor. From 1984 to 1987, he is a professor at the University of California, San Diego. 1987, who once taught at Harvard University, is now Professor William Cer Graustein of Zhejiang University and director of the Institute of Advanced Mathematics. He and his wife have two sons, and the son Qiu Zhengxi won the 60th final prize of Intel High School Gifted Science Award. In 2005, China Taiwan Province University was awarded an honorary doctorate. [Editor] His work has changed and expanded people's understanding of the role of partial differential equations in differential geometry, and influenced topology, algebraic geometry, representation theory, general relativity and other fields. Calabi conjecture was solved in 1976, and its method was applied to superstring theory, which had an important influence on unified field theory. The existence of solutions to Gaspard Monge-Ampere equation is proved. 1978 and 1979 cooperated with R. Schon to solve the conjecture of positive mass in general relativity. Cooperate with Karen Uhlenbeck to solve the high-dimensional form of Hitchin-Kobayashi conjecture. High-dimensional Minkowski problem, Sevanli conjecture (cooperation with small), frankl conjecture, three-dimensional manifold and minimal surface topology, Smith conjecture, etc. He cooperated with Lian and did a series of work on mirror symmetry. In cooperation with Lian and Lian, he proved the equivalence of various metrics in curve module space, which was later called Sun Liuqiu metric [edit]. Qiu Chengtong criticized China's education and scholarship. In 2005, Qiu Chengtong revealed that the nominal academician of Peking University didn't do anything with high salary, which caused academic controversy. For details of this matter, please refer to the Tianli Qiu Chengtong incident and [1].
[2]。 On June 3rd, 2006, Qiu Chengtong announced to the media that China mathematicians Cao Huaidong and Zhu Xiping had completely proved Poincare's conjecture and caused controversy. The article "Multiple Fates" in The New Yorker magazine is the most disgusting, but it is suspected of fabricating facts. On September 20th, 2006, Qiu Chengtong filed a lawsuit against The New Yorker through legal channels. However, the article points out that the Poincare conjecture proved by Cao and Zhu in the Asian Journal of Mathematics was not completely published without normal auditing procedures. Editors of Qiu Chengtong and Asian Mathematics Journals did not respond. Gregory perelman said that he could not see the novelty of Cao and Zhu's proof. This event is still developing. [Editor] Honors 198 1 Wilbur Award. 1983 Fields Prize in Mathematics. MacArthur Award in 1984. 1994 Crawford Prize. National Science Medal 1997.
