This book is an autobiographical interview with Chinese Academician
Yuan Wang on his experience in mathematical research. The book
looks back on Wang's collaboration with his teacher Hua Loo-Keng
and younger scholars, offering insights into fruitful cooperation
in mathematical research. In this book, Yuan Wang’s path of
studying Goldbach conjecture is revealed in detail from motivation
to method. Then his work on algebraic number theory is traced back
in a separate chapter. The book ends with two chapters which
introduce Wang’s interest in history of mathematics and his
hobbies outside of mathematical research. Wang shows how a
mathematician can in the same time be a historical and popular
science writer and, in particular, a well-received
calligrapher. The book is intended for undergraduate and
graduate students studying number theory. Researchers who are
willing to learn from the experience of an established
mathematician, as well as math amateurs and general audience who
are interested in Yuan Wang's life story might also find this book
appealing.
