Sinopsis

A definitive collection of essays, lectures, and reflections by the "Father of Modern Differential Geometry," Shiing-Shen Chern (1911-2004). Curated for mathematicians, historians of science, and educators, How to Do Good Mathematics provides a primary-source perspective on the evolution of 20th-century mathematics. As the founding director of the Mathematical Sciences Research Institute (MSRI) and a Wolf Prize laureate, Chern's influence extends far beyond the Chern Classes. This volume features: Historical Insight: Chern's personal account of the development of global differential geometry and his interactions with contemporaries like Andre Weil and Solomon Lefschetz. Educational Philosophy: His vision for mathematical education in China and the West, advocating for the integration of humanistic values in scientific research. Key Lectures: Including his seminal talks on the relationship between geometry and physics. An essential acquisition for academic libraries building collections in mathematical history, geometry, and scientific biography.
