A Comparative Study of Shiing-Shen Chern and Pierre-Simon Laplace

This article explores the contributions of two prominent mathematicians: Shiing-Shen Chern, a Chinese mathematician renowned for his work in differential geometry and abstract manifolds, and Pierre-Simon Laplace, a French mathematician and astronomer famous for Laplace's Equation and celestial mechanics. Despite their differences in era, geographical background, and areas of focus, both contributed significantly to mathematics and scientific understanding, shaping fields like geometry and dynamics. Awards like the Wolf Prize and historic impacts remain central to their legacies.

  2. Shiing-shenChern • He is a Chinese • Differential Geometry • Show Unknowns in 3D graph • The key is plain curves, surfaces and abstract manifolds • Wolf Prize, Shaw Prize and Nation Medal of Sceince • Shiing-shenChernPrize are created.(only for Chinese)

  3. Pierre-Simon marquis de Laplace • French mathematician and astronomer • Sequence of planets • Laplace’s Equation • Isaac Newton in France • How does electric field and the gravitational field works.

  4. Similarities • Both of their research contain equations • They help to develop math in their living time

  5. Differences • Geometry • Space/gravity • Different era • Prize • Asteroid 4628 Laplace, “Europa Jupiter System Mission” Laplace
