Taking the Long View: The Life of Shiing-shen Chern examines the life of a remarkable mathematician whose classical Chinese philosophical ideas helped him build bridges between China and the West. Shiing-shen Chern (1911-2004) is one of the fathers of modern differential geometry.
His work at the Institute for Advanced Study and in China during and after World War II led to his teaching at the University of Chicago in 1949. Next came Berkeley, where he created a world-renowned center for geometry, and, in 1981, co-founded the Mathematical Sciences Research Institute. During the 1980s, he brought talented Chinese scholars to the USA and Europe. By 1986, with Chinese government support, he established a math institute at Nankai University in Tianjin. Today it is called the Chern Institute of Mathematics.

jeez. never thought obscure documentaries on mathematicians could move me. what an amazing man
인생은 즐기는 자가 확실히 좋음.천싱선씨처럼 즐기길..
Inspiring
고통과 기쁨이 같이 있어서 계속 할 수 있음.
先生之风，山高水长。
Thanks for your terrific video. I feel as though I know the man a bit more.
I'd guess the English caption should read: He taught his students _topology_ rather than "to party," but then I'm not familiar with Chinese educational methods:)
If we paid these guys like sport stars we would have teleportation by now
love how Simons is just labelled as mathematician. not as a quant trader and one of the richest people in the world.
G.O.A.T.
I never knew…
啊哈，三个人都提到 "his head is somewhat bigger than normal" 智慧的大脑
Manfredo do Carmo also said that lol
Ahh CN Yang wasn’t in the film 😬
12:39 is that John Nash?
Yes
He is in higher dimensions now...
RIP
