The fourth lecture of\nUndergraduate Lecture Series in Mathematics held by Department of Mathematics\nof Faculty of Science and Technology has held on 6 March 2013 in Ho Yin\nConvention Centre HG02. Prof. Che-Man Cheng, Associate Professor of Department\nof Mathematics, was invited as speaker. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Prof. Cheng began the\nlecture by sharing a research paper of linear algebra, and revisited some of\nthe basic concepts and interesting knowledge in linear algebra. Later, Prof.\nCheng demonstrated the charm of the linear algebra by an open problem which\nonly consisted of the elementary concepts, and there is no perfect solution for\nthis problem until now. The audiences are deeply impressed by the example. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Prof. Cheng also\nintroduced his recent research, and the paper \u201cProof of B\u00f6ttcher and Wenzel’s\nConjecture\u201d in the journal \u201cOperators and Matrics\u201d by Prof. Seak-Weng Vong and\nProf. Xiao-Qing Jin of Department of Mathematics. In this paper, Prof. Vong and\nProf. Jin proved the famous B\u00f6ttcher and Wenzel’s Conjecture. This result\nhighly motivated a series of related works by other researchers. After detail\nanalysis on the result of the paper, and close attention to the progress of the\nrelated research, Prof. Cheng and his graduate students found that the result\nin the paper can be improved with some elementary skills in Calculus. This work\nhas been published on the journal \u201cLinear Algebra and its Applications\u201d by\nProf. Cheng’s group. With this example, Prof. Cheng successfully shown that\nlinear algebra had very close relation with other discipline. The audience\nbenefited a lot from research experience of Prof. Cheng.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Prof. Cheng focuses on\nthe research of matrix theory, including numerical ranges, eigenvalues and\nsingular values, and Hurwitz matrix equations. He has published more than 20\npapers in the international journals such as \u201cLinear Algebra and its\nApplications\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\nThe fifth lecture of\nUndergraduate Lecture Series in Mathematics at UM will be launched in April. All\nare welcome to join the lecture.
