Guiyang, Guizhou, was born in February 1923. 1943 graduated from the Mathematics Department of Zhejiang University. 1947 received a doctorate in philosophy from Harvard University.

After returning to China from 65438 to 0948, he served as deputy director of the Research Office of the Culture and Education Department of the Southwest Military and Political Commission, director of the Science Popularization Department, researcher of the Institute of Mathematics of China Academy of Sciences, researcher and deputy director of the Institute of Applied Mathematics of China Academy of Sciences, chairman of the Computational Physics Society of China Institution and chairman of the China Artificial Intelligence Society. He has been engaged in the research of mathematical theory and its application for a long time. Research on qualitative theory, motion stability, approximate analysis and machine derivation formula of ordinary differential equations. Take the lead in China. Among them, the study of limit cycle has the international advanced level. Responsible for completing the power calculation of China's first atomic bomb and hydrogen bomb. One of the main workers of the project "Physical Mechanics and Mathematical Theory in the Design Principles of Atomic Bombs and Hydrogen Bombs" won the first prize of the National Natural Science Award 1982. On the basis of the above work, a new branch of computational physics has been opened up. Published more than 90 papers.
