Background and Purpose

Tianyuan Mathematical Center in Southeast China (TMSE) is one of the five national mathematical centers approved and supported by the Tianyuan Mathematics Fund of the National Natural Science Foundation of China. The unveiling ceremony of the Center was held on January 8th 2019, which marks its official launch and operation.

Tianyuan Mathematics Fund was set up in 1990 with the aim of building China into a strong country in mathematics. It is in 2017 that the academic leadership committee of the Tianyuan Mathematics Fund of the National Natural Science Foundation of China launched the programme of establishing Tianyuan Mathematical Centers for balanced regional development of mathematics. The programme focuses on providing platforms for collaboration and research, and aims to enhance the research in relevant fields, foster research strengths and promote the progress of mathematical sciences. So far there are five Tianyuan Mathematical Centers which are respectively located in the southwest, northwest, northeast, southeast and central of China.

TMSE is based at Xiamen University and co-supported by several other universities in Fujian Province, Zhejiang Province, Guangdong Province, Jiangxi Province and Hainan Province. Centering upon the research on pure mathematics and its interdisciplinary application, TMSE will organize a variety of academic activities with a view to pooling high-caliber talents, promoting international cooperation, cultivating young mathematicians and ultimately advance the progress of mathematical sciences in the southeast part of China.

Under the guidance of the academic leadership committee of the Tianyuan Mathematics Fund of the National Natural Science Foundation of China and with the great support of Xiamen University and the joint efforts of its partner universities for TMSE, the center will make great strides in fostering first-class mathematical talents, producing world-class research and developing into a world-renowned platform for talent cultivation, joint research and academic cooperation.
