Li Zhi (1527-1602), also known as Li Zaizhi and Lin Zaizhi. The word is Hongfu, the name is Zhuowu, and the alias is Wenling layman. A native of Quanzhou, Fujian, he was elected in the 31st year of Jiajing. He has held positions such as Huixian Jiaoyu, Dr. Guozi, and Yao An Zhifu. He is the author of Burning Books, Continued Burning Books, Collection of Books, Continued Collection of Books, and Outline of History. Li Zhi was born in a merchant family in the port city of Quanzhou in the mid-Ming Dynasty. He held a relatively open concept of social development and cultural thinking, and had a profound reflection and criticism of traditional Taoism. He was an influential thinker and writer in the middle and late Ming Dynasty. This book uses a series of short stories to show important events in the life of this cultural figure.

This book provides a detailed description of a most important unsolved mathematical problem — the Goldbach conjecture. Raised in 1742 in a letter from Goldbach to Euler, this conjecture attracted the attention of many mathematical geniuses. Several great achievements were made, but only until the 1920's. The book gives an exposition of these results and their impact on mathematics, particularly, number theory. It also presents (partly or wholly) selections from important literature, so that readers can get a full picture of the conjecture.

This volume presents a comprehensive collection of Wang Yuan's original important papers which are not available elsewhere, since the majority of the papers were published in China.Covering both pure number theory and applied mathematics, this book is important for understanding Wang Yuan's academic career and also the development of Chinese mathematics in recent years, since Wang Yuan's work has a wide-ranging influence in China.Wang Yuan is a professor and academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences. He received his honorable Doctorship from Hong Kong Baptist University. He has published 70 papers and ten books.

These book consists of two parts:(i) A detailed introduction by the editor to provide a full exposition on the developments of the study of Goldbach conjecture, including a complete reference.(ii) A collection of original papers on Goldbach Conjecture and is intended for graduate students and researchers in analytic number theory who have an understanding of basic elementary number theory and the theory of the distribution of prime numbers. The basic methods for treating Goldbach Conjecture are the circle method of Hardy and Littlewood and the sieve method of Brun. This book contains papers with originalities and important progresses on these two methods and all the papers in Chinese, French, German and Russian have been translated into English.
