The Life of Su Buqing.
twelve point font, proper headings, citations & reference page. no cover page. 5 secondary sources and 3 primary sources.
​My research project proposal is to research the man, Su Buqing. This man is considered a late imperial Chinese mathematician. His lifetime spans from 1902 -2003 which is within the guidelines of being after the 1800’s. I plan to research his life for a basis of knowledge. To find out maybe the reasonings or where the desire he had to be a mathematician came from. My main point of research will be about him being a mathematician and everything that he accomplished as a mathematician. Through my brief glancing through some articles so far, I have found already that he is considered the founder of differential geometry. Differential geometry is a mathematical concept that uses techniques from calculus and algebra to study problems in geometry.
​I will start by laying out the timeline of his accomplishments, everything he did throughout his lifetime. Then I plan to go in depth into his progression through mathematics and all the concepts, papers, proofs, etc. that he was a large contributor on. I would also like to research and have a large portion of the research paper be about his contribution to the development of mathematics within China. How he specifically helped China progress throughout the years in relation to mathematics.
