ounded. In July 1, 1952, the institute was established and located on the campus of Tsinghua University. The institute decided to focus its research on coordinated development of pure mathematics and applied mathematics. The first research groups were set up to study number theory, differential equations, mechanics, computer development, probability and statistics, algebra, and topology.
　　In the first half of 1953, there were 32 researchers in the institute, including 5 research professors (Hua Luogeng, Min Naida, Wu Xinmou, Zhang Sucheng, Wu Wenjun), 5 associate research professors (Guan Zhaozhi, Tian Fangzeng, Wang Shouren, Zhuang Fenggan, Xia Peisu), 6 assistant research professors (Lin Hongsun, Sun Yifeng, Yue Minyi, Feng Kang, Wan Zhexian, Hu Haichang), 11 research trainees (Lu Qikeng, Gong Sheng, Hu Hesheng, Zhang Liqian, Wang Guangyin, Qiu Peizhang, Ding Xiaqi, Xu Kongshi, He Shanyu, Sun Hesheng, Wang Yuan), and 5 joint research professors (Su Buqing, Chen Jiangong, Duan Xuefu, Hu Shihua, Zhang Zongsui). The directions they started laid foundations for the development of the institute. Only among those 32 people, 17 were elected academicians (Members) of the CAS.

【研究院荣誉】

　　五十年来，四个研究所的科研人员在理论研究和实际应用方面，为我国数学和系统科学的发展以及国民经济和国防建设做出了重要的贡献，获得各种科技奖励400余项，包括1项国家最高科学技术奖，4项国家自然科学奖一等奖，以及一些重要的国际奖励。一些重要的应用成果受到中央领导和实际部门的充分肯定，也显示了数学理论在国民经济主战场的作用。
　　In the past 50 years, the scientific personnel of the four institutes has made important contributions to the country's development of mathematics and system sciences as well as the construction in national economy and national defence. They have won more than 400 scientific awards, including one National Top Science and Technology Award, four first-class prizes of the National Natural Science Award, and some important international awards. Some important research achievements in applied sciences have been acknowledged by the central government leaders and relevant diVisions of application. This has proved the important role of mathematical theory in the main fronts of the national economy.
