中英雙語話中國歷史名人 第91期:陳景潤

Chen Jingrun(1933~1996) was a Fuzhou native who graduated from the Mathematics Department of Xiamen University in 1953 and was later a researcher at the Chinese Academy of Sciences' Institute of Mathematics.

陳景潤(1933~1996)，福建福州人，1953年畢業於廈門大學數學系，中國科學院數學研究所研究員。

He is considered an important figure in China's mathematical history.

中國數學史上的重要人物。

His Chen's Theorem, the research results of his study of the Goldbach's Conjecture in the field of the analytic theory of numbers, has a leading position among international mathematicians.

“陳氏定理”，即陳景潤攻克世界著名數學難題“哥德巴赫猜想”中的(1十2)的結果，在數學界居世界領先地位。

His work on the twin prime conjecture and on Goldbach's conjecture led to progress in the analytic number theory.

陳景潤在孿生素數猜想和哥德巴赫猜想方面所做的工作推動了解析數論的發展。

In a 1966 paper he proved what is now called the Chen's theorem:Every sufficiently large even number can be written as the sum of either two primes, or a prime and a semi-prime (the product of two primes)--e. g., 100=23+7*11.

1966年，陳景潤的一篇論文證明了(現在的“陳氏定理”):每個大偶數都是一個素數及一個不超過兩個素數的乘積之和。例如:100=23+7*11。

Chen made great progress on the Goldbach's conjecture and a major breakthrough in world mathematics.

陳景潤在哥德巴赫猜想方面的偉大進展是國際數學界突破性的貢獻。

The famous Chen's Theorem was very widely cited internationally.

“陳氏定理”在國際上被廣泛引用。

Chen published more than 70 academic papers in his life. Twice, in 1978 and 1982 respectively, Chen was invited to deliver the 45-minute report in the International Congress of Mathematicians.

陳景潤共發表學術論文70餘篇，並於1978年和1982年兩次收到國際數學家大會的邀請，作學術報告。
