    Extractions: (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.

    Extractions: Version for printing Chern studied at Nankai University in Tientsin, China, then undertook graduate studies at Tsing Hua University, Peking. 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

He was 93. Chern died of illness on the campus of Nankai University, where he had served as director of its mathematics center, the Xinhua News Agency reported, without giving details. Born in 1911 at the time of the fall of China's last imperial dynasty, the Qing, Chern graduated from Nankai University in 1930. After further study at Beijing's Tsinghua University and the University of Hamburg, as well as in Paris, Chern taught during World War II both in China and at Princeton University in the United States.

Today, the fields on which he had the greatest impact global differential geometry and complex algebraic geometry are fundamental to many areas of mathematics and theoretical physics. "The work he did is at the very foundation of one of the most important developments of modern theoretical physics gauge theory," said friend and colleague Hung-Hsi Wu, professor of mathematics at UC Berkeley. "With Chern classes and the Chern-Simons invariants, Chern is a household name in theoretical physics, especially in string theory."
