三十多年前的一天,武汉大学数学系的张远达教授收到一位陌生的数学爱好者从黄陂慕名寄给他的一篇论文,论文作者大胆地对椭圆球面体公式提出了质疑。张教授仔细审阅其论点和论述后,禁不住拍案叫绝。他认为在地方基层的同志能够写出如此高水平的论文,一定是一位刻苦钻研多年的老先生。于是他根据自己的推断给那位“老先生”写了一封热情洋溢的回信。当那位作者再次来信时,张教授大吃一惊:对方原来只是一位在校的高中生!这名高中生。就是蔡红生。张远达教授将蔡红生的论文加以修改后,推荐给中国科学院数学研究所。不久,这篇 More than thirty years ago, Professor Zhang Yunda, a professor of mathematics at Wuhan University, received an essay sent to him by an unknown math amateur from Huangpi. The author of the paper boldly questioned the formula of ellipsoid. After Professor Zhang carefully reviewed his arguments and discourses, he could not help but shoot the case. He believes that comrades at the local grass-roots level can write such a high-level thesis, and must have been an old gentleman who has studied hard for many years. So according to his own inference, he wrote an ebullient reply to that “old gentleman.” When the author wrote another letter, Professor Zhang was shocked: the other party turned out to be only a high school student in school! Is Cai Hongsheng. Professor Zhang Yuanda Cai Hongsheng papers to be modified, recommended to the Institute of Mathematics Chinese Academy of Sciences. Soon, this
