On August 28, Shing-Tung Yau, a foreign academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, president of the Beijing Yanqi Lake Institute of Applied Mathematics, and dean of Tsinghua University's Qiuzhen Academy, led a delegation to visit our university to provide guidance on the development of its mathematics discipline. Prior to the visit, Wu Guilong, secretary of the university's Party committee, along with vice presidents Zhang Weidong and Wang Luning, cordially received Academician Yau and his delegation and held a symposium for exchange. Relevant officials from the Beijing Yanqi Lake Institute of Applied Mathematics and members of the leadership team of the School of Mathematics and Natural Sciences also attended the meeting.

Wu Yuan, Dean of the School of Mathematics and Physics, provided a brief overview of the school's fundamental conditions in areas such as teaching and education, faculty composition, talent cultivation, and disciplinary development. He expressed his hope that Academician Qiu would offer guidance and suggestions for the school's work, providing strategic direction and innovative perspectives for the advancement of the mathematics discipline.

Shing-Tung Yau emphasized that the development of academic disciplines plays a foundational and supportive role in the university's talent cultivation efforts. In advancing scientific progress, it is essential to consistently maintain a spirit of scientific curiosity and encourage researchers to actively engage in fundamental research. In the future, both parties will pursue cooperation through diverse forms—such as joint project development and talent cultivation—to contribute to the advancement of fundamental disciplines in the country.
