The international symposium on number theory and analysis in memory of the late famous Chinese mathematician Prof. Hua Loo Keng was co-sponsored by the Institute of Mathematics, Academia Sinica and the University of Science and Technology of China. lt took place between August Ist and 7th of 1988 on the campus of Tsing Hua University, and some 150 mathematicians were pres- ent. The symposium was carried out in two separate sections: number theory and analysis. This is retlected in the publication ofa set oftwo volumes, the first one on Number Theory edited by Professor Wang Yuan and the second on Analysis by Professors Gong Sheng, Lu Qi-keng and Yang Lo. The distinguished list of main speakers and the contents of these two vol- umes reflect the high level of the mathematical activity throughout the seven days. W e pay special tribute to our main speakers professors Chuang, Conn, Ding, Drasin, Fitzgerald, Gaier, Gong, Grauert, Gu, Hejhal, Iyanaga, Karatsuba, Koranyi, Liao, Lu, Pan, Richert, Satake, Schmidt, Siu, Tatuzawa, Tsang, Vladimirov, Y. Wang, G. Y. Wang, Wustholz and Yang, who gave the excellent one hour lectures, and also to the participants who gave contributed talks on their own research work. The discussions among the mathematicians were always in a warm atmosphere. Our thanks go to professors Chern, Subbarao and Yau for their contributions to these proceedings.

This is the second edition of a coherent introduction to the subject of asymptotic statistics as it has developed over the past 50 years. It differs from the first edition in that it is now more 'reader friendly' and also includes a new chapter on Gaussian and Poisson experiments, reflecting their growing role in the field. Most of the subsequent chapters have been entirely rewritten and the nonparametrics of Chapter 7 have been amplified. The volume is not intended to replace monographs on specialized subjects, but will help to place them in a coherent perspective. It thus represents a link between traditional material - such as maximum likelihood, and Wald's Theory of Statistical Decision Functions -- together with comparison and distances for experiments. Much of the material has been taught in a second year graduate course at Berkeley for 30 years.

This is the thirteenth issue (Vol. 7, No. 1, July 2019) of the Notices of the International Congress of Chinese Mathematicians (or ICCM Notices, for short), the official periodical of the ICCM organization. This special issue honors Shing-Tung Yau on the occasion of his 70th birthday. Published semi-annually, the Notices bring news, research, and presentation of various perspectives, relevant to Chinese mathematics development and education. Readers of the Notices will find research papers on various topics by prominent experts from around the world, interesting and timely articles on current applications and trends, biographical and historical essays, profiles of important institutions of research and learning, and more.

This two-part volume represents the proceedings of the Fifth International Congress of Chinese Mathematicians, held at Tsinghua University, Beijing, in December 2010. The Congress brought together eminent Chinese and overseas mathematicians to discuss the latest developments in pure and applied mathematics. Included are 60 papers based on lectures given at the conference.

The International Congress of Chinese Mathematicians (ICCM) is an important event among the large international community of mathematicians of Chinese descent. The Seventh Congress was held at Beijing, China in August 2016. This is the two-volume set comprising the Proceedings of the Seventh Congress of Chinese Mathematicians. It presents four Morningside Lectures, 16 Plenary Lectures, and 31 Invited Lectures-all dealing with the latest developments in mathematics. The Proceedings of the Seventh Congress of Chinese Mathematicians are an important reference for researchers in all fields of mathematics, and make a valuable addition to the collection of a university library.
