CALCULUS

Professor Fong Yuen received his B.Sc. from the National Cheng Kung University in 1973 affer which he occupied the chair of the mathematics section at St. Luke's Co-educational College in Hong Kong where he taught calculus for three years. In 1979, he obtained his Ph.D from the University of Edinburgh, Scotland. Since then, he has been appointed as full professor in mathematics at the National Cheng Kung University, Taiwan, and was recognized by the Ministry of Education of Taiwan for his contribution to mathernatics. He is a co-founder of Algebra Colloquium and has been its Deputy Editor-in-Chief since 1993. He is also Editor of Technical Report of National Cheng Kung University. His research interests include near-rings, rings and radicals, automata theory, Hopf algebra, and quantum Yang-Baxter equation, and mathematics education. Professor Wang Yuan graduated from the Department of Mathematics, Zhe Jiang University, China, in 1952. A highly regarded analytic number theorist, he has published ten books and more than seventy papers. His research fields include classical analytic number theory and Diophantine analysis especially the Goldbach conjecture, number theoretic methods in numerical analysis and statistics, in particular, the quadrature formula of high-dimensional space and experimental designs. He was formerly President of the Chinese Mathematical Society and now heads the International Mathematics Olympia, China. He is presently with the Institute of Mathematics, Chinese Academy of Sciences, China.
