Features: The world has entered the knowledge economy era, where the innovation and accumulation of knowledge have become the most revolutionary driving forces for economic development and social progress. To guide scientific and technological work, accumulate valuable scientific and technological history, and promote the scientific spirit and noble character of Chinese scientists, our publishing house has planned the "Series of Chinese Academicians." We sincerely dedicate this series to the great cause of China's "rejuvenation through science and education."
This series consists of 17 volumes, with each volume dedicated to one of the 17 academicians from the Chinese Academy of Sciences and the Chinese Academy of Engineering. They are primarily born in the 1920s, have achieved significant results and received major awards. Each volume generally includes three main parts: academic thoughts, academic papers, and monographs or excerpts from monographs, encompassing the authors' representative works from various periods (with a focus on recent works). Additionally, each volume features a "Biographical Sketch" that describes the authors' lives and academic careers, allowing us to trace their journey to becoming scientists, admire their intellectual style and personal strength, and understand their motivations. The sections are generally arranged in chronological order of publication. Due to the long time span, physical quantity units and symbols are retained as originally presented. The format is consistent across all volumes, and foreign-language works are kept in their original language.
The series is edited by Professor Wang Ganchang, with the following editorial team members:
- Guo Chuanjie, Ge Nengquan, and Han Cunzhi were responsible for preliminary drafting.
- Zhou Yi, Tan Dayan, and Jiang Shuhua were responsible for preliminary review.
- Jiang Shuhua, in addition to administrative management, also contributed significantly to the organizational work.
During the drafting and editing process, the chief editor and editorial team members devoted themselves wholeheartedly and put in arduous efforts. Professor Wang Ganchang wrote the preface for the series, and President Lu Yongxiang of the Chinese Academy of Sciences wrote the preface for the volume "Robotics and Industrial Automation" by Jiang Xinong. Additionally, we are deeply grateful to the four scientists—Chen Fangyun, Jiao Shude, Sun Dading, and Qian Yingqian—for their invaluable comments and assistance. We extend our sincere thanks to all of them.
