A plan aiming at strengthening the country’s math research was recently released by the Ministry of Science and Technology, the Ministry of Education, the Chinese Academy of Sciences and the National Natural Science Foundation of China.

According to the document, efforts will be made to support basic mathematics science, strengthen research on applied mathematics and applications of math, and promote and deepen high-level domestic and international exchange and cooperation.

At present, many teenagers and their parents in China do not clearly understand math. Most students learn it to get good grades and be enrolled by better schools. Many teachers do not pay attention to training students' mathematical thinking ability.

Mathematicians' thinking is always very active in their young adulthood and youth should be the key for developing mathematics in a country, according to Tian Ye, a young mathematician at the Chinese Academy of Sciences.

China is expecting more teenagers to improve their knowledge and love of math and devote themselves to reaching new heights in math research.
