The awards, also known as Chinese Fields Medal, were presented at the Fourth International Congress of Chinese Mathematicians (ICCM) in the capital of east China's Zhejiang Province. Wang Xujia, a professor from the Australian National University Mathematics and its Applications Center, won the gold medal for his contribution to fully nonlinear equations and Hessian's theory. Statistician Fan Jianqing, who creatively applied mathematics into statistics, received the applied mathematics gold medal. Silver medals were awarded to Liu Chiu-chu, Ji Lizhen, Jin Shi, Chen Chiun-chuan and Tian Ye. ICCM's fourth congress has drawn over 1,200 participants of Chinese descent from around the world. Presidents of some top universities and 30 other experts were also in attendance.

Overview of Chinese mathematics Chinese Mathematics History Topics Index Version for printing Several factors led to the development of mathematics in China being, for a long period, independent of developments in other civilisations. The geographical nature of the country meant that there were natural boundaries (mountains and seas) which isolated it. On the other hand, when the country was conquered by foreign invaders, they were assimilated into the Chinese culture rather than changing the culture to their own. As a consequence there was a continuous cultural development in China from around 1000 BC and it is fascinating to trace mathematical development within that culture. There are periods of rapid advance, periods when a certain level was maintained, and periods of decline. The first thing to understand about ancient Chinese mathematics is the way in which it differs from Greek mathematics. Unlike Greek mathematics there is no axiomatic development of mathematics. The Chinese concept of mathematical proof is radically different from that of the Greeks, yet one must not in any sense think less of it because of this. Rather one must marvel at the Chinese approach to mathematics and the results to which it led. Chinese mathematics was, like their language, very concise. It was very much problem based, motivated by problems of the calendar, trade, land measurement, architecture, government records and taxes. By the fourth century BC counting boards were used for calculating, which effectively meant that a decimal place valued number system was in use. It is worth noting that counting boards are uniquely Chinese, and do not appear to have been used by any other civilisation.
