香港中文大学(深圳)举办首届丘成桐班开班典礼,通过学术脉络的梳理,生动诠释了数学领域薪火相传的精神内核。1丘成桐教授以视频形式发表演讲,强调基础科学的战略地位,表示"没有基础科学就没有真正的应用科学,更谈不上产生世界领先的企业",同时指出"数学是人工智能的根基,其中算法、优化、数据分析都离不开数学支撑"。1他寄语学子专注学问、勇于挑战根本问题。1
班主任郑绍远教授阐述了这一传承关系的学术脉络。120世纪微分几何学巨擘陈省身创立的"陈示性类"对现代数学发展产生了深远影响,1郑绍远与丘成桐都曾师从陈省身。1丘成桐于1992年应香港中文大学校长高锟邀请回港创办港中大数学科学研究所,1如今通过开办以其名字命名的班级,将数学精神的接力棒传递给新一代学者。1
The Chinese University of Hong Kong (Shenzhen) held its inaugural opening ceremony for the Yau Class, marking a significant continuation of mathematical excellence in the city. 1 Through a video address, Professor Shing-Tung Yau emphasized the foundational role of basic science, stating that "without basic science, there is no true applied science, let alone the emergence of world-leading enterprises." 1 He further highlighted mathematics as the cornerstone of artificial intelligence, noting that "algorithms, optimization, and data analysis all depend critically on mathematical support." 1 Yau encouraged students to focus on their scholarly pursuits and tackle fundamental problems with courage. 1
The class embodies an intellectual lineage spanning generations of mathematicians. Class director Professor Zheng Shaoyuan articulated the academic succession from Shiing-Shen Chern through Yau to the current cohort, symbolizing the continuous transmission of mathematical spirit. 1 Chern, a towering figure in twentieth-century differential geometry, left an indelible mark on the discipline through the Chern class, which has profoundly influenced mathematical development. 1 Both Zheng and Yau studied under Chern, establishing a direct scholarly connection that now extends to the students of this new class. 1 In 1992, Yau accepted an invitation from then-president Charles K. Kao to return to Hong Kong and establish the Institute of Mathematical Sciences at CUHK, laying groundwork for mathematical advancement in the region. 1
