19101012 was born in a small businessman's family in Jintan county, Jiangsu province, with a height of1.65m. My father Hua Ruidong runs a small grocery store, and my mother is a virtuous housewife. /kloc-graduated from renmao primary school in the county town at the age of 0/2 and entered Jintan county junior high school. 1925 after graduating from junior high school, he was unable to enter senior high school because of his poor family, so he had to study accounting in the Chinese vocational school founded by Huang Yanpei in Shanghai. In less than a year, due to the high cost of living, I was forced to drop out of school and go back to Jintan to help my 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. From 65438 to 0929, 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 suffered from severe typhoid fever. After nearly half a year's treatment, he recovered, but his left leg joint was seriously damaged, leaving him with a lifelong disability. He had to walk on crutches.
In fact, when Hua was in junior high school, his homework was not good once, and sometimes he failed in math. Hua's math teacher, a famous educator and translator in China (1900 was born in Jintan), was teaching in Jintan Middle School at that time. He found Hua playful, but quick-thinking, and his math exercises were often changed, and his method of solving problems was very unique and original. On one occasion, the teacher of Jintan Middle School lamented that there were many "poor students" and no "talents" in the school. Wang Weike said, "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 can't the solution of Su Jiaju's algebraic quintic equation be established" was published in Shanghai Science Journal. After seeing it, Professor Xiong Qinglai, then head of the Department of Mathematics of Tsinghua University, inquired about it in many ways and recommended him to be a librarian in the Department of Mathematics of Tsinghua University. 193 1 at the turn of autumn and winter, Hua entered the Tsinghua campus.
Hua works and studies 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, 1935 became a lecturer. 1936 was recommended by Tsinghua University and sent to Cambridge University in England. During his two years in Cambridge, he devoted all his energy to the study of mathematical theoretical problems and was unwilling to waste time 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, under extremely difficult conditions, he wrote more than 20 papers and completed his first mathematical monograph, The Number of Quails. Under the influence of Mr. Wen Yiduo, he also actively participated in the anti-Japanese democratic and patriotic movement that was in full swing at that time. The element number theory of pile foundation later became a classic of mathematics. It was published in Russian in the Soviet Union from 65438 to 0947, 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 then national government also wanted to build an atomic bomb, so it sent three famous scientists, Hua, Zeng Zhaolun, to visit the United States. In September, Li Zhengdao, Zhu Guangya and others left Shanghai for the United States. They first served as visiting professors at Princeton Institute for Advanced Studies, and later were hired as tenured professors by the University of Illinois.
