   Extractions: Chern studied at Nankai University in Tientsin, China, then undertook graduate studies at Tsing Hua University, Peking. He was the only graduate student in mathematics to enter the university in 1930 but during his four years there he not only studied widely in projective differential geometry but he also began to publish his own papers on the topic. He received a scholarship in 1934 to study in the United States, but he made a special request that he be allowed to go to the University of Hamburg. His reason was that he had met Blaschke when he visited Peking in 1932 and found his mathematics attractive. After working under Blaschke for only a little over a year Chern received his D.Sc. from Hamburg in 1936. At this stage Chern was forced to choose between two attractive options, namely to stay in Hamburg and work on algebra under Artin or to go to Paris and study under Cartan. Although Chern knew Artin well and would have liked to have worked with him, the desire to continue work on differential geometry was the deciding factor and he went to Paris. His time in Paris was a very productive one and he learnt to approach mathematics, as Cartan did, see [2]:- ... from evidence and the phenomena which arise from special cases rather than from a general and abstract viewpoint.

He was born in Kashing Chekiang Province Nankai University in Tientsin (where he moved to be with his father four years earlier), graduating in mathematics in 1930. He was a research student under Dan Sun at Tsing Hua University from 1931 to 1934, working on projective differential geometry. In 1934 he went to Hamburg , working on the Cartan- Kähler theory, and finishing a higher degree in 1936. In 1936-1937 he learned directly from Élie Cartan in Paris , returning to China to a professorial position in Tsing Hua (which had evacuated to Kunming after the Japanese attacks). In 1943 Chern came to the Institute for Advanced Study at Princeton , working there on characteristic classes in differential geometry. He returned to China, to Shanghai in 1947. From 1948 he was again at the IAS, becoming a professor at the University of Chicago in 1949; he moved to the

   Extractions: (b. Oct. 26, 1911, Chia-hsing, Chekiang province, China), Chinese-American mathematician and educator whose researches in differential geometry include the development of the Chern characteristic classes in fibre spaces, which play a role in all areas of mathematics and in mathematical physics. Chern graduated from Nankai University in Tientsin, China, in 1930 and received his master of science degree four years later from Tsing Hua University, Peking. In 1936 he was awarded his doctor of sciences degree from the University of Hamburg, and the following year he returned to Tsing Hua University as professor of mathematics. Chern was a member of the Institute for Advanced Study at Princeton, N.J., from 1943 to 1945. In 1946 he returned to China to become acting director of the Institute of Mathematics at the Academia Sinica in Nanking. Chern returned to the United States in 1949 and taught at the University of Chicago until 1960, when he was appointed professor of mathematics at the University of California, Berkeley. The following year he became a naturalized U.S. citizen. Chern became a member of the American Mathematical Society and served as vice president from 1963 to 1964. He was also elected to both the National Academy of Science and the American Academy of Arts and Science. He was awarded the National Medal of Science in 1975 and the Wolf Prize in 1983/84. He founded and was the director (1981-84) of the Mathematical Sciences Research Institute, Berkeley, Calif. He also founded and was the director (from 1985) of the Nankai Institute of Mathematics, Tianjin, China.
