Center of Mathematical Sciences (Traditional Chinese: 浙江大學數學科學研究中心, Simplified Chinese: 浙江大学数学科学研究中心; abbr. CMS), is a renowned mathematical research center in the People's Republic of China. It belongs to the Zhejiang University in Hangzhou.
Introduction
The center was mainly founded by the Fields Medalist Shing-Tung Yau in August 2002. The first co-honorary directors were mathematicians Su Buqing and Shiing-Shen Chern, both of whom are Zhejiang natives [http://www.cms.zju.edu.cn/news.asp?id=198&ColumnName=people] . The first academic director of the center is Shing-Tung Yau [http://www.cms.zju.edu.cn/news.asp?id=1103&ColumnName=integration&Version=] .
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) [ [http://news.xinhuanet.com/overseas/2005-02/06/content_2557860.htm 中国为什么还不是数学强国？丘成桐直言教育弊端 ] ] . For continuing keeping and developing such excellent tradition, the center was founded, and coupled with the Department of Mathematics of Zhejiang University.
Every year, many mathematicans and scientists from all over the world visit or do research at the center.
