Who knows the story of mathematicians? About 70 words, thank you!

At the invitation of famous mathematician Chen, the famous mathematician Su returned to China on March 193 1 and was employed by National Zhejiang University. He has served as an associate professor, professor, dean, provost and provost of the Department of Mathematics. Until June 1952, due to the adjustment of colleges and universities all over the country, he was a little reluctant to become a professor. He was the head of the Department of Mathematics at Fudan University in Shanghai, and later served as provost, vice president and principal. He has served many times as a member of the China People's Political Consultative Conference, a deputy to the National People's Congress, a vice-chairman of the 7th and 8th China People's Political Consultative Conference, and a vice-chairman of the NLD Central Committee.

Looking back on Su's life in the past century, it is also rugged and muddy, with many stories. Here are a few to comfort readers.

Story 1

September 23rd 1902 was an ordinary day, but it was a rare day for Su Zushan's family who fled from Tongan, Fujian to Daixi Village, Pingyang, Zhejiang. God knows, and God bless the people. Su Zushan's family added a ding, and the couple laughed from ear to ear, and finally had a "successor" who had been farming for generations. However, Su Zushan and his wife have never been to school, and they have had enough suffering from illiteracy. They are eager for success, so they choose "Qing Bu" as their son's name. The fortune teller also said some nice words, saying that in the name of "Qing Bu", he would be able to "climb high and look far, and worship his ancestors" in the future.

After all, a name is not a ladder of fame and fortune. Just as his peers were carrying schoolbags to school, Su Zushan gave his son a bullwhip. From then on, Sue wore a big bamboo hat made by her father and coarse cloth sewn by her mother. He rode barefoot on the back of the cow and came to the foot of Woniu Mountain with a wave of his whip. Sue's family is a big buffalo, fat and strong, and never takes the short cowherd seriously. Once, when the buffalo got angry, it ran and jumped, throwing Sue into a newly cut bamboo garden. Blessed by God, he fell into several bamboo roots and survived.

When herding cattle home, Sue walked through the gate of the village private school and was often attracted by the sound of books. Once, the teacher was reading aloud: "Sue, at the age of 27, began to read books on fire." After listening, he read it several times. From then on, he remembered the jingle and sang in the mountains when herding cattle.

Su Zushan often listens to his son recite three-character classics and hundreds of surnames, which is puzzling. Once, I happened to see my son "eavesdropping" at the gate of a private school. Father's heart finally moved. As soon as the couple got together, they decided to tighten their belts and send Sue to a private school.

Story 2

At the age of 9, Su's father took a cart of rice as tuition, walked 50 kilometers of mountain roads and sent Su to Pingyang County, where he became a high school placement student. From the mountainous area to the county seat, Sue is really an eye-opener, and everything is novel. When he first saw the minced meat in the steamed bread, he often changed his meal ticket into money to buy "meat steamed bread" to eat. A month's meal ticket has been used up long ago, so I have to go hungry. When he saw the tiger stove boiling water, he felt very interesting. He threw the eggs he brought from home into the pot, and a pot of boiling water turned into a pot of egg drop soup. The boiler man was so angry that he grabbed him and hit him

Sue plays all day. He often comes out top in exams. At the end of the final exam, he came last in the class. However, his composition is not bad. "Eavesdropping" in the private school stimulated his interest in learning Chinese and laid a little foundation for his composition. However, the more Chinese teachers read it, the less they believe it. They always thought that Sue's composition was plagiarized. Therefore, he was awarded a low score. In this way, his stubbornness was even more aroused. The more the teacher says that he is not good, the less he studies hard. For three consecutive semesters, he was the last one. Both classmates and teachers say that he is a "fool".

Once, the geography teacher Chen Yufeng called Su to the office and told him a short story: "When Newton 12 years old, he transferred from a rural primary school to a city to study, and his grades were not good, so his classmates looked down on him. Once, a classmate bullied him rudely and kicked him in the stomach. He rolled in pain. That classmate is better than him in health and homework, and Newton is afraid of him at ordinary times. But at this moment, he couldn't bear it, jumped up and fought back, forcing the classmate into a corner and pressing it against the wall. This classmate saw that Newton was furious and had to give in. There are only so many reasons for Newton to learn from this incident: as long as he makes up his mind, he can subdue it. He worked hard and soon became the first in his class, and later became a great scientist. "

Sue is grateful to Mr. Chen for not criticizing him and telling him stories. Seeing his drooping head, Teacher Chen touched his head and said, "I think you are a clever boy. If you are willing to work hard, you will definitely get the first place in the exam. " He added, "Your parents have worked hard and saved money. I hope you can read this book well. As you are now, what will you repay them in the future? " Sue couldn't hold back her shock any longer. Tears rolled down his chest like broken pearls, and he felt that he had done something wrong for the first time. Since then, he has completely become a sensible child, stopped playing, studied hard and won the first place in the final exam.

Story 3

A math class in Zhejiang 10 Middle School in Wenzhou led Su to the road to the kingdom of mathematics. Teacher Yang, who returned to Wenzhou from studying in Japan, took a math class with a real feeling of worrying about the country and the people: "In today's world, the law of the jungle prevails. The world powers built cannons by ships, carved up China's beans and wolfed them down. The danger of national subjugation and extinction of the Chinese nation is imminent. In order to save the nation and survive, we must revitalize science. Mathematics is the pioneer of science. In order to develop science, we must learn math well. " Teacher Yang's words touched Sue's heart. Since then, his interest has shifted from literature to mathematics. Once, Sue proved a geometric theorem in 20 different ways. When the headmaster first learned, he called Sue to the office, patted him on the shoulder and said, "Study hard and send you abroad to study in the future." When he graduated from Suzhou University, President Hong had been transferred to the Ministry of Education in Beijing, but he still cared about Su's study and sent 200 yuan money to help Su study abroad.

19 19, 17-year-old Sue bought a boat ticket to Japan, and the rest 170 yuan could hardly support him for three months. He can only eat two meals a day and has no money to hire a Japanese teacher, so he has to learn from the landlord. Finally, he answered the examiner's questions in fluent Japanese, and entered the famous school-tokyo institute of technology Electrical Engineering Department with the first place. 1924 was admitted to the Department of Mathematics of Imperial University in Tohoku, Japan with the first place, and studied under the famous geometer Professor Tadashian. 1927, after graduating from college, I sold newspapers, delivered milk, proofread magazines and tutor after school, and paid tuition with the money I earned, so I was promoted to the graduate school of our school without an exam. With a strong will, he studied hard and published 4 1 research papers on affine differential geometry and projective differential geometry, which opened up a new field of differential geometry research and was called "a brilliant mathematical star rising from the East" by the mathematical community. 193 1 in March, 2008, he obtained the doctor of science degree with excellent results, becoming the second foreigner to receive this degree after Chen. Since then, invitations from home and abroad have flown in like snowflakes, and Sue refused them one by one. Because two years ago, when Chen got his doctor of science degree, he sent Su to Zhejiang University, where the conditions were very poor. Sue said, "Go home first, and I'll come back after graduation. Let's make the Department of Mathematics of Zhejiang University a world-class department in 20 years ... "This may be the reason why Su did not want to leave Zhejiang University when the departments of colleges and universities in China were adjusted.

Since taking office, Sue has made brilliant achievements in scientific research and teaching. In addition to the quartic (cubic) algebraic cone discovered by graduate students, it was praised as "Su cone" by academic circles. Later, it made recognized achievements in projective curve theory, projective surface theory, high-dimensional projective space conjugate network theory, general spatial differential geometry, computational geometry and so on. He also proved that the closed Laplace sequence and structure (T4) are called "Su (Qing Bu) chain" by the world academic circles. Therefore, the famous German mathematician Brasuke called Su "the first geometer in the East", and mathematicians in Europe, America and Japan called him and his colleagues "Zhejiang University School". Indeed, during the period from 193 1 to 1952, Jiangsu trained nearly 100 students, of whom 25 served as deans and vice-deans in more than 10 famous universities nationwide, and 5 were elected academicians of China Academy of Sciences, including 3 academicians trained after liberation. In Fudan Institute of Mathematics, there are Gu Chaohao and Hu He in Suzhou, which is a rare gratifying phenomenon that three generations and four academicians work together.

Story 4

After the July 7th Incident, Zhejiang University was forced to move westward. At the head of this national disaster, Su received an urgent telegram: Mr. Matsumoto, his father-in-law, was critically ill and asked the Su couple to go to Sendai for the last time. Sue handed the telegram to her wife and said ... you go, I want to stay in my own country. Sue's wife Su Songben said, "I'll follow you." However, because his wife just gave birth to a baby and couldn't live with him, Sue sent her to Pingyang for refuge in the countryside. It was not until the summer vacation of 1940 that President Zhu Kezhen approved the special passage fee for his wife and daughter to Meitan.

During the days in Meitan, the life of teachers and students was extremely difficult, and it was difficult for university professors to make a living by salary. Sue bought a hoe, and every day when she came home from work or had a rest day, she cultivated the land and planted vegetables. Once, the vegetable room in Meitan Hotel was not available, so he had to buy several baskets of cauliflower from Su's vegetable field. Another night, President Zhu came to the ruined temple where he lived and saw Su carrying water to grow vegetables, while Su Songben was cooking with his son on his back. Careful President Zhu saw that the pot was full of radishes and dried sweet potatoes, so he asked Sue. Sue explained: "My family has many children, and my salary is not enough to buy rice. Dried sweet potatoes have been dipped in salt for several months. " Zhu Kezhen was amazed. So, he chartered Sue's two middle school sons to make an exception and eat and live at home in middle school (because Sue's family couldn't come up with bedding).

The difficulties in life go from bad to worse. One of Sue's youngest sons died soon after his birth due to malnutrition. Su Qing Bu buried him in Meitan Mountain and engraved the words "Su Ying's Tomb" on the small stone tablet. However, the difficulties in life can't scare people with will and perseverance, and the teaching and scientific research of Zhejiang University is still proceeding in an orderly way. Sue also stepped onto the podium with difficulties. When he turns to draw geometric figures on the blackboard, the students will talk about the "triangle, trapezoid ..." patches on Teacher Su's clothes and the "spiral curve" on his ass! In the evening, Su put the tung oil lamp on the incense table of the ruined temple to write a textbook, and finally finished the book Introduction to Projective Curves with her perseverance. 1in the summer of 994, the author was lucky enough to see the small temple where Su lived during his migration in Qingyan, and a feeling of reverence came to mind and was unforgettable.

Story 5

197265438+On February 7th, Zhang Su, a famous mathematician and a student of Soviet Union, became the second issue of Mathematics Magazine and visited mathematicians all over the world. He should have visited Mr. Su in Shanghai. Unexpectedly, in the book Introduction to Projective Geometry (English version) presented by Teacher Su, he wrote a poem on the title page:

Thirty years ago in Guizhou,

I'm worried about singularity,

Now I am old enough to go to Shenjiang Day.

It's nice to see old friends fighting for the upper reaches.

This not only breaks the stereotype of ordinary people's inscriptions, but also tells the whole picture of teachers' and students' feelings, which shows that Su Lao's poetic skills are superb and his writing is profound.

Many people know that Sue is a master of mathematics, but they don't know that he is also a master of literature, a writer and a poet. He loved ancient poetry since he was a child, and learned to write poetry at the age of 13. When I was a child, I used to ride on the back of an ox and read Poems of a Thousand Families. For decades, he has been accompanied by poetry and walked with poetry books. Every time he goes on a business trip, he always puts one or two poems in his bag, such as Selected Poems of Du Fu. Sue not only reads poems, but also is interested in writing them. He has been writing for decades and has written nearly a thousand poems. At the age of 96, Su's amateur poems were published by Beijing Publishing House, which included 444 modern poems with 60 words in handwritten and photocopied versions of Su's poems, including 193 1 ~ 1949 early works 19 1 47 words. From this, we can appreciate the light reflected by Su Lao's academic career and poetry and calligraphy skills in the past 60 years, which is full of the breath of the times and gives people a lot of inspiration.

Looking back at the time when Zhejiang University moved to Meitan, he and Qian Baoyu, a master of mathematics, founded Meitan Printing Society. Under extremely difficult circumstances, he published the first Poem Collection of Meitan Press at his own expense, which included about 65,438+000 poems of various schools. In the days of national disaster, poets often drink tea and recite poems, or talk about the road, or comment on the current situation, and their feelings of worrying about the country and homesickness are often revealed in their works.

1944, Sue wrote a poem entitled "You Ting":

Climb the path with a single coat, and lean on a stick to pass the light.

Road protection tree, Linjiang Qiqi Pavilion.

Guests are always traveling far away, and their hometown is green.

Looking north without tears, blood shed in the Central Plains.

This is Su Bu's expression of affection for things, nostalgia for the fall of his hometown and the broken mountains and rivers of the motherland, and praise for the people's rise to the war of resistance. Patriotism and concern for the world welled up from his heart.

Su's poetic skills are superb and breathtaking. His poems are lofty in artistic conception, fresh in style and full of allusions and philosophies.

Reading many of Su's poems not only makes people feel that Su Lao often instills the importance of the "pyramid" foundation for later learning, but also makes people feel that the arts and sciences are interlinked. For decades, he skillfully used what he called "odd odds and ends" (odd odds and ends of time) to study and study. Aren't these immortal poems the fragmentary evidence that Sue made full use of time?

Portrait (6) 1902 was born in a mountain village in Pingyang county, Zhejiang province in September. Although the family is poor, his parents still scrimp and save for his school. When he was in junior high school, he was not interested in mathematics. He thinks mathematics is too simple, and he will understand it as soon as he learns it. However, a later math class influenced his life. When Su was in the third grade, he studied at No.60 Middle School in Zhejiang Province. A teacher named Yang teaches mathematics. He has just returned from studying in Tokyo. In the first class, Mr. Yang didn't talk about math, but told stories. He said: "In today's world, the law of the jungle, the world powers rely on their ships to build guns and gain benefits, and all want to eat and carve up China. The danger of China's national subjugation and extinction is imminent, so we must revitalize science, develop industry and save the nation. Every student here has a responsibility to' rise and fall in the world'. " He quoted and described the great role of mathematics in the development of modern science and technology. The last sentence of this class is: "In order to save the country and survive, we must revitalize science. Mathematics is the pioneer of science. In order to develop science, we must learn math well. "I don't know how many lessons Sue took in her life, but this lesson will never be forgotten. Su Gaozhong went to study in Japan after graduation. 1927 graduated from the Department of Mathematics of Northeast Imperial University, and then entered the graduate school of this school. 193 1 graduated with a doctor of science degree. 1931March, at the invitation of famous mathematician Chen, he returned to China with his doctor of science from Northeast Imperial University and was employed by National Zhejiang University. He has served as an associate professor, professor, dean, provost and provost of the Department of Mathematics. At the same time, he and Chen founded the school of differential geometry together. 1952 10 came to the department of mathematics of Fudan university as a professor and dean due to the adjustment of departments in colleges and universities across the country, and later served as the provost, vice president and president of Fudan university. He has served many times as a member of the China People's Political Consultative Conference, a deputy to the National People's Congress, a vice-chairman of the 7th and 8th China People's Political Consultative Conference, and a vice-chairman of the NLD Central Committee. On March 7th, 2003, 16: 45, 13 seconds passed away in Shanghai at the age of10/.
