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.

Shiing-shen Chern (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.

PRINT DISCUSSION CHINESE SEND TO FRIEND Given as following is an interview sought with Shiing-Shen Chern, the 92-year-old Chinese-American math professor now with his presence at the 24th International Mathematics Conference, a conference he had early advocated to be held in China. Reporter: As everybody knows that the conference could be held in China, you have done a lot of backstage work. From 1993, you began to plan for the conference together with Professor Shing-Tung Yau of Harvard University, you must be very happy for tomorrow, the conference will be finally inaugurated in China. Chern: Yeap, I'm very happy, the international mathematics conference will be held tomorrow here, firstly it indicates that China has got acknowledgement in international circle. We did some work, but if China does not reach a certain level in math, it would not attract a whole world's mathematicians coming here. International mathematics conference has had a history of more than 100 years, in the past 100 years, this conference was almost monopolized by European countries and America. How nice it would be if the conference could be held in China.
