화뤄겅과 수학 대중화 = Hua Loo-Keng and Mathmatical Popularization

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

Hua Loo-Keng(华罗庚, 1910--1985) is one of well-known prominent Chinese mathematicians.
While Waring problem is one of his research interests, he made lots of contributions on various mathematical fields including skew fields, geometry of matrices, harmonic analysis, partial differential equations and even numerical analysis and applied mathematics, as well as number theory.
He also had devoted his last 20 years to the popularization of mathematics in China.
We look at his personal and mathematical life, and consider the meaning of his activity of popularizing mathematics from the cultural perspective to understand the recent rapid developments of China in sciences including mathematics and artificial intelligence.

국문 초록 (Abstract)

수학자 화뤄겅(华罗庚, Hua Loo-Keng, 1910-1985)은 Waring 문제를 연구하였던 중국 출신의 정수론 학자이다. 그는 군론, 행렬론, 다변수 복소해석학, 편미분방정식, 수치해석을 포함한 다양한 수학 분야에 많은 업적을 남겼다. 뿐만 아니라 중국에서의 응용수학의 발전에도 기여하였다. 특히 수학대중화 활동을 통하여 중국에서의 수학 문화를 이끌며 근현대 중국 수학을 주도하고 이끌었던 학자이자 교육자였다. 본 글은근현대 중국의 수학을 주도했던 수학자 화뤄겅의 삶과 수학적 업적을 살펴보고 그에 의한 수학대중화 활동을 문화의 관점으로 그 의미를 알아본다.
