中英雙語話中國歷史名人 蘇步青

Su Buqing(1902~2003)was born in Pingyang,Zhejiang Province. He is a distinguished modernmathematician in China. When he was a little boy, hedecided to be a successful person.

蘇步青(1902 ~2003 )，出生在浙江平陽，中國著名現(xiàn)代數(shù)學(xué)家，從小就立志成材。

After graduation from middle school, he went toJapan for further study. At first he entered TokyoIndustrial High School, and later Northeast ImperialUniversity in Japan.

中學(xué)畢業(yè)后，蘇步青前往日本深造，先后在東京高等工業(yè)學(xué)校和東北帝國大學(xué)學(xué)習(xí)。

He graduated from Northeast Imperial University in 1927 and received PhD there in 1931.

1927年蘇步青畢業(yè)，1931年獲得博士學(xué)位。

During his study in Northeast Imperial University, he found 4 times algebra cone-shaped surface in study of general bent surface. It was a breakthrough in geometry research.Mathematical circles of Japan and the world named it as Su's cone-shaped surface.

在東北帝國大學(xué)學(xué)習(xí)期間，他在研究一般曲面的時候發(fā)現(xiàn)了4倍幾何錐形面，這在幾何研究領(lǐng)域是一個突破，日本和國際數(shù)學(xué)界將其命名為“蘇氏錐形面”。

Being a doctor, Su Buqing turned down detainment from his teachers and friends and resolutelyreturned to China.

獲得博士學(xué)位后，蘇步青拒絕了師友的挽留，毅然返回中國。

He was invited to work at the Department of Mathematics of Zhejiang University, and began histeaching and education life.

被聘到浙江大學(xué)數(shù)學(xué)系任教，開始了他的教學(xué)教育生活。

Though the living conditions for Prof. Su were not good, he worked hard and fostered manyexcellent scientists.

盡管蘇教授的生活條件并不好，但是他仍然努力工作，培養(yǎng)了許多優(yōu)秀科學(xué)家。

Besides his hard work in education, Prof. Su didn't give up his research and creative work. Hewrote more than ten monographs such as Affine Differential Geometry. He won the NationalScientific Conference Award and the second prize of National Science and Technology ProgressAward for his achievements in "Ship Lifting Program" and "Curved-Surface Production Procedureof Ship's Lines" respectively.

繁忙的教育工作之余，蘇教授還堅持科研創(chuàng)造工作，寫有十幾部專著，例如:《仿射微分幾何學(xué)》，研究成果“船體放樣項目”、“曲面法船體線型生產(chǎn)程序”分別榮獲全國科學(xué)大會獎和國家科技進(jìn)步二等獎。

In 1952, he shifted to Fudan University for teaching and was appointed as Dean of Studies. In1983, he assumed the post of honorary president of Fudan Universify.

1952年，蘇步青到復(fù)旦大學(xué)，任教務(wù)長，1983年起任復(fù)旦大學(xué)名譽(yù)校長。

Other than that, he was also vice-chairman for the seventh and eighth Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC), member of the Standing Committee of the fifth and sixth National People's Congress, vice-president of the Central Committee of China Democratic League.

歷任第七、八屆全國政協(xié)副主席，第五、六屆全國人大常委，民盟中央副主席。

In 1955 he was elected committee member of Mathematics and Physics Department of theChinese Academy of Sciences and Standing Committee of Academy.

1955年當(dāng)選為中國科學(xué)院數(shù)學(xué)物理學(xué)部委員，兼任學(xué)術(shù)委員會常委。

He specialized in the study and founded a school of differential geometry.

專長微分幾何，創(chuàng)立了國內(nèi)外公認(rèn)的微分幾何學(xué)派。
