講座摘要
從二十世紀起，美國數學家便於數學，這一門本是歐洲主導的學科，急起直追，而哈佛大學數學系更是這股發展力量的核心。丘教授將於這個講座以生動的形式介紹當年協助發展美式數學的先驅者和由他們開創並舉足輕重的數學概念，以及成就了這斐然成績的學者們。

Abstract
In the twentieth century, American mathematicians began to make critical advances in a field previously dominated by Europeans. Harvard University’s Mathematics Department was at the centre of these developments. Professor Yau will give a lively and accessible account of the pioneers who trail-blazed a distinctly American tradition of mathematics, the heady mathematical concepts that emerged, and the men and women who shaped them.
