Center Of Mathematical Sciences, Zhejiang University
Center of Mathematical Sciences (CMS, ), is a renowned mathematical research center based in China. It belongs to the Zhejiang University in Hangzhou, Zhejiang. Introduction The center was mainly founded by the Fields Medalist Shing-Tung Yau in August 2002. The first directors and advisors were mathematicians Su Buqing and Shiing-Shen Chern, both of whom are Zhejiang natives. The first academic director of the center is Shing-Tung Yau. In China, Zhejiang University has one of the best traditions of mathematical research, which is known as the ''Zhe School'' (''of Mathematics'') and the ''Chen-Su School'' (''of Differential Geometry''; in memorial of mathematicians Su Buqing and Chen Jiangong Chen Jiangong (; 1893–1971), or Jian-gong Chen, was a Chinese mathematician. He was a pioneer of modern Chinese mathematics. [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Zhejiang University
Zhejiang University, abbreviated as ZJU or Zheda and formerly romanized as Chekiang University, is a national public research university based in Hangzhou, Zhejiang, China. It is a member of the prestigious C9 League and is selected into the national higher education plans including Double First Class University Plan, Project 985, and Project 211; ZJU is consistently ranked among the top 5 academic institutions in mainland China. Founded as Qiushi Academy in 1897, it is the oldest university in Zhejiang and one of the oldest in China. After the 1911 Revolution, the university was shut down by the government in 1914 and was re-established as National Third Chungshan University in 1927 and renamed as National Chekiang University (NCKU) in 1928. During the presidency of Chu Kochen from 1936 to 1949, despite relocation due to World War II, the university became one of the famous four universities in China. British biochemist Joseph Needham hailed the university as "Cambridge of t ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Xi-Ping Zhu
Zhu Xiping (born 1962 in Shixing, Guangdong) is a Chinese mathematician. He is a professor of Mathematics at Sun Yat-sen University, China. Poincaré conjecture In 2002 and 2003, Grigori Perelman posted three preprints to the arXiv claiming a resolution of the renowned Poincaré conjecture, along with the more general geometrization conjecture. His work contained a number of notable new results on the Ricci flow, although many proofs were only sketched and a number of details were unaddressed. Zhu collaborated with Huai-Dong Cao of Lehigh University in filling in the details of Perelman's work, along with reworking various elements. Their work, containing expositions of Perelman's work along with the foundational work of Richard S. Hamilton, Richard Hamilton, was published in the June 2006 issue of the ''Asian Journal of Mathematics''. Other notable expositions were released around the same time, one by John Morgan (mathematician), John Morgan of Columbia University and Gang Tian ...
