Abstract

Professor Wen-Tsun Wu passed away on May 7, 2017, a few days ahead of his 98th birthday. Wu is one of the most influential Chinese mathematicians and computer scientists. In his early years, he made fundamental contributions to algebraic topology. In the late 1970s, Wu proposed the Wu's method of geometric theorem proving and founded the school of Mathematics Mechanization. His study on the ancient Chinese mathematics opened a new era in the field of history of Chinese mathematics. He also made contributions in the area of algebraic geometry, invariant theory, complex geometry, and game theory. His legacy consists not only of his academic work but also of several generations of scientists who learned from him the joy and enthusiasm of scientific research and the way to go about it.
吴文忠:他的一生和遗产
吴文俊教授于2017年5月7日离世,离他98岁生日还有几天。吴是中国最有影响力的数学家和计算机科学家之一。早年,他对代数拓扑学做出了重要贡献。20世纪70年代末,他提出了吴氏几何定理证明方法,创立了数学机械化学派。他对中国古代数学的研究开辟了中国数学史的新纪元。他在代数几何、不变量理论、复几何和博弈论等领域也有贡献。他的遗产不仅包括他的学术成果,还包括几代科学家从他那里学到了科学研究的乐趣和热情,以及从事科学研究的方法。
