In the history of mathematics, Peng Shige is one of the names that keeps returning.
The record lists Peng Shige as Chinese mathematician.
Peng Shige was born at Bincheng District in 1947. His recorded nationality is People's Republic of China. He studied at Shandong University.
Twentieth-century mathematics became abstract and highly specialised, and its methods reached into physics, economics and computing.
His academic posts were held at Shandong University.
Mathematical work is judged by whether anyone can build on it, and that judgement takes decades.
That the work was done from People's Republic of China matters: mathematical training, institutions and the language of publication have never been evenly distributed.
