Exchange Agreements Fudan University Prof Roderick Wong, Director of the Centre, signed a three year exchange agreement with Prof Chaohao Gu, Director of Institute of Mathematics at Fudan University of Shanghai on October 29, 1998. This agreement provides for an exchange of scholars and research personnel in mutually agreed subject areas, together with the joint supervision of two doctoral degree candidates by the two institutions. Fudan is one of the major post-secondary institutions in Mainland China. The exchanges will further strengthen the existing links between Fudan University and City University. The main basis of the agreement is to establish a co-operative relationship to expedite academic exchanges and research collaboration, which should benefit both institutions. Peking University Prof Jiping Zhang, Dean of the School of Mathematical Sciences at Peking University, singed a three-year teaching staff exchange agreement on November 10, 1998 with Prof Roderick Wong, Dean of the Faculty of Science and Engineering at City University. From January 1999, both Universities will exchange at lest one member of their teaching staff each year, in an effort to establish a closer co-operative relationship stimulating future exchanges in teaching, lectures and research. City University is planning to send faculty members to Peking University to lecture on the Foundations of Computational Mathematics, while Peking University will send staff to Hong Kong to teach Dynamical Systems. |
Centre's Silver Medal Winner Dr Tong Yang, Assistant Professor at City University of Hong Kong, was the proud recipient of one of four silver Morningside Medals presented at the first International Congress of Chinese Mathematicians held in Beijing in December 1998. He won the medal for his work in solving the well-posedness theory for hyperbolic conservation laws, of which the Euler equations for gas dynamics are some of the famous examples.
