Introduction

The center was mainly founded by the Fields Medalist Shing-Tung Yau in August 2002. The first directors and advisors were mathematicians Su Buqing and Shiing-Shen Chern, both of whom are Zhejiang natives.[1] The first academic director of the center is Shing-Tung Yau.[2]

In China, Zhejiang University has one of the best traditions of mathematical research, which is known as the Zhe School (of Mathemacics) and the Chen-Su School (of Differential Geometry; in memorial of mathematicians Su Buqing and Chen Jiangong).[3] For continuing keeping and developing such excellent tradition, the center was founded, and coupled with the Department of Mathematics of Zhejiang University.
