Study on Chinese Students at Harvard University to Study Mathematics in the First Half of the 20th Century and Their Influence on Modern Mathematics in China
In order to explore the relationship between Harvard University and the development of modern mathematics in China in the first half of the 20th century,the literature research method was used to investigate how it happened that Chinese students went to Harvard University to study mathematics,the cultivation of these students at Harvard University in the first half of the 20th century,and the influence of these mathematicians on the development of modern mathematics in China,so that it can be clearly seen that Harvard University was an important overseas training base for mathematical talents in modern China.After returning to China,these mathematicians presided over or participated in the founding of the earliest mathematics departments in China,such as the Department of Mathematics of Peking University and that of Nankai University,and also took part in the compilation of mathematics textbooks,the unifying of mathematical terminology in Chinese,the construction of academic groups such as the Chinese Mathematical Society,and the establishment of research institutions such as the Institute of Mathematics of the Academia Sinica,making a foundational contribution to the institutionalization of modern mathematics in China.
