In addition to being busy with school administrative affairs and teaching work, Hu Dunfu is also enthusiastic about participating in mathematical academic organization activities. Unifying mathematical terms is the basic work necessary to show algebra in our country, which is related to foreign language translation, textbook compilation, classroom teaching and many other aspects. He attaches great importance to this work. 19 18 scientific terminology validation meeting was established, and was hired as a "invited expert" of the mathematical terminology validation group to participate in the drafting of mathematical terminology; In the summer of 1932, the National Compilation Museum was established, and he was hired as a member of the Mathematical Terminology Examination Committee. 1935, chinese mathematical society was entrusted by the Ministry of Education to conduct a final inspection of mathematical terms. At the beginning of September, Hu Dunfu personally presided over the final examination and approval of mathematical terms compiled by the National Compilation Center, and determined 3426 Chinese-English mathematical translations. These nouns are the crystallization of China mathematicians after decades of brewing, practice and revision, and quite a few of them are still in use today.

In addition, he also actively advocates and cultivates academic groups such as mathematics and physics among teachers and students in the school. His Datong University, Jiaotong University and Wuxi Middle School, Hu's hometown, all organize research seminars on mathematics and physics. He gave academic reports for these seminars, introduced the general situation of mathematics development, encouraged members to exchange research experience, improved their research ability, and prefaced his works. I'm going to Beijing on business, and I have to take time to give a speech at the Mathematical Physics Society of Beijing Normal University.

With the development of China's higher education, by the 1930s, 20 or 30 colleges and universities in China had set up mathematics departments, and the ranks of mathematics circles were expanding day by day. 1932 The Chinese Physical Society was formally established, and the National Mathematical Society was put on the agenda. /kloc-0 In the autumn and winter of 934, Hu Dunfu contacted famous mathematicians such as Xiong Qinglai and Feng Zuxun in Beijing, He Lu in Chongqing, Chen and Su in Hangzhou, and actively prepared for the establishment of chinese mathematical society. 1935, during the summer vacation, the inaugural meeting of the Chinese Mathematical Society was held from July 25th to 27th in the library of Shanghai Jiaotong University, where he was the head of the Department of Mathematics. Hu Dunfu was elected as the executive chairman of the conference, presiding over the inaugural meeting and the first annual meeting of mathematics. The articles of association adopted by the General Assembly stipulate that: chinese mathematical society will set up a Council to plan the development of the association and elect 9 directors for a term of 5 years; Board member 1 1 person, with a term of 2 years; Parliament has 2 1 people, and one-third of them are re-elected every year. The third congress * * * elected 4 1 employees, which concentrated the old, middle-aged and young elites in the mathematics field in China at that time, and Hu Dunfu was elected as the chairman. After the inaugural meeting, he united his colleagues and actively promoted the all-round development of chinese mathematical society's work. In addition to speeding up the examination and approval of mathematical terms, he is also responsible for filing a case to promote the early publication of Academic Journal of Chinese Mathematical Society and Mathematical Popular Journal. Receive foreign mathematicians to give lectures in China and promote academic exchanges between China and foreign countries.

1in August, 936, he presided over the second annual meeting of chinese mathematical society Mathematics in Peiping. At this annual meeting, it was decided that the third annual meeting of mathematics would be held in Hangzhou. 1937. Unexpectedly, after the July 7th Incident, the Sino-Japanese War broke out in an all-round way. In the war of aggression against China, China lost a large area of land, many universities were forced to move westward, a large number of intellectuals were displaced, and chinese mathematical society's activities were forced to be interrupted. Hu Dunfu, Zhu et al. Those who stayed in the occupied area of Shanghai joined hands with some staff of the Mathematical Society to form the temporary editor-in-chief of Mathematical Journal, which lasted until the second issue of Volume 2 in June, 5438+0939+0 1, which was difficult to maintain and forced to stop publishing. Journal of chinese mathematical society also died after the publication of Volume II in 1940. In a very difficult environment where the enemy-occupied area is isolated from the rear area, in order to carry out academic exchanges in mathematics, his general association informed local members that the third annual mathematics conference would be held in Chongqing, Kunming, Chengdu, Zunyi, Chenggu, Jiading and Shanghai in August and September of 1940. Hu Dunfu presided over the Shanghai annual meeting in September/KLOC-0; The general meeting will distribute votes to local members, re-elect directors and conduct assessment, and form the staff of the third Mathematics Society. Although chinese mathematical society's early work was seriously damaged by the Japanese invasion of China, it was the first time that she organized mathematicians scattered all over China and concentrated on the task of developing mathematics research and modern mathematics in China. The birth of the Chinese Mathematical Society and the publications sponsored by it marked that the development of mathematics in China entered a new era, which had a far-reaching impact at home and abroad.

After Hu Dunfu's death, Hu Xinnan, his eldest son and chairman of Taiwan Province Sino-American Petrochemical Company, was kindly urged to formally establish the Lida Society Foundation in Taiwan Province Province, which was composed of alumni associations in Taiwan Province Province such as Tsinghua, Jiaotong University and Datong, and recommended representatives. Adhering to the purpose of this association, we will continue to promote the conference. Among them, Tsinghua, Jiaotong University, National Taiwan University, and Central University award the graduate students of the Master of Mathematics program with an annual bonus of NT$ 60,000 per student, which benefits aspiring young people and has achieved remarkable results. Yes, it will also let Lida's purpose continue to be passed down, and let Datong alumni appreciate President Hu's return and dedication. 1992 Yanqiao Middle School in Wuxi (formerly Hushi Middle School) celebrated its 90th anniversary (1902- 1992), and introduced Hu Dunfu and his parents' achievements in establishing a new school and building water conservancy projects in Wuxi. 1992 10 10 On 24th October, at the commemorative meeting to celebrate the 80th anniversary of the founding of Datong University and Datong Middle School, as the eldest brother of the direct descendants of his father and brother, he specially entrusted his representative in Shanghai to announce the establishment of "Hu Brothers Scholarship" in Datong Middle School with a capital of 20,000 US dollars. Reward students with excellent performance in Datong Middle School; Students who have won prizes in international, national and city-wide academic competitions; It also includes effective teachers and mentors. 1993 the first batch of scholarships has been awarded.
