周炜良 ,1 91 1年 1 0月 1日生于上海 ,1 995年 8月 1 0日卒于美国。 2 0世纪代数几何学领域的主要人物 ,在世界数坛上颇具影响的华人数学家之一。周炜良生性淡泊 ,不好交往。他在学术上取得的成就远远超过他应得的任何荣誉 ,以周炜良名字命名的数学名词见于许多代数几何学的专著、教材及数学辞典 ,仅《岩波数学词典》(日 )中就有 7个之多 ,这应是更有意义的永恒的褒奖。今年是周炜良 90周年冥诞 ,特发表陈省身先生此文 ,以资纪念。 Zhou Weiliang was born in Shanghai on January 1, 1991, and died in the United States on August 10, 1995. One of the most influential Chinese mathematicians in the world in algebraic geometry in the 20th century. Zhou Wei Liang indifferent to life, not easy to socialize. His academic achievements far outweigh any honors he deserves. The math terms named after Zhou Weiliang are found in many monographs, textbooks and mathematical dictionaries of algebraic geometry, with only 7 of the “Iwawa Mathematical Dictionary” (Japanese) This should be a more meaningful and eternal compliment. This year is the 90th anniversary of Vivien Chow. Special release of Mr. Chen Sansheng this article, in order to commemorate.
