Shou-Wu Zhang Biography
| Birthday | Oct 9 |
| Birth Year | 1962 |
Shou-Wu Zhang is one of the most popular and richest Mathematician who was born on October 9, 1962 in He County, Maanshan, China. The birthplace of Shou Wu Zhang is Hexian Ma’anshan, Anhui, China on October 9th the 9th of October, 1962. Zhang was raised in a rural family that was poor and was unable to attend school until the eighth grade because of the Cultural Revolution. Zhang spent his childhood cultivating ducks in the countryside , and studying mathematics at home using textbooks was snatched up from the sent-down youth trading frogs for trade. At the time of his entry into the junior high schools at fourteen, he was learning self-taught calculus and was interested in the field of number theory following his reading of Chen Jingrun’s demonstration of Chen’s Theorem, which led to significant progress in Goldbach’s conjecture.
Zhang’s doctoral dissertation Positive Line Bundles that are based on Arithmetic Surfaces (Zhang 1992) established a Nakai-Moishezon theorem in intersection theory by using the results of differential geometry that was already proven through Tian Gang’s doctoral dissertation. In a succession of studies (Zhang 1993 1995a, 1995b, Szpiro, Ullmo & Zhang 1997) Zhang further elaborated his theory of positive line bundles’ within Arakelov theory that culminated in a demonstration (with Emmanuel Ullmo) of the Bogomolov conjecture (Zhang 1998).
Zhang has received a Sloan Foundation Research Fellowship (1997) and a Morningside Gold Medal of Mathematics (1998). He is also a Clay Foundation Prize Fellow (2003), Guggenheim Foundation Fellow (2009), Fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences (2011), and Fellow of the American Mathematical Society (2016). He was also an invited speaker at the International Congress of Mathematicians in 1998.
In a series of works in the 2000s (Zhang 2001b, 2004, Yuan, Zhang & W. Zhang 2009), Zhang proved a generalization of the Gross–Zagier theorem from elliptic curves over rationals to modular abelian varieties of GL(2) type over totally real fields. In particular, the latter result led him to a proof of the rank one Birch-Swinnerton-Dyer conjecture for modular abelian varieties of GL(2) type over totally real fields through his work relating the Néron–Tate height of Heegner points to special values of L-functions in (Zhang 1997, 2001a). Eventually, Yuan, Zhang, and W. Zhang (2013) established a full generalization of the Gross–Zagier theorem to all Shimura curves.
Zhang was an associate of the Institute for Advanced Study and an assistant professor at Princeton University from 1991 to 1996. Then, in 1996 Zhang returned to Columbia University where he was an tenured professor until the year 2013. Zhang has been a professor in Princeton University since 2011.

Shou-Wu Zhang is one of the richest Mathematician from China. According to our analysis, Wikipedia, Forbes & Business Insider, Shou-Wu Zhang 's net worth $5 Million. (Last Update: December 11, 2023)
Zou-Wu Zhang (Chinese: Zhang Shou Wu Pinyin: Zhang Shouwu ; born September 9th 1962) is a mathematician from China, who is well-known by his research in the field of number theory and Arithmetic Geometry. He is currently a professor in Mathematics and Geometry at Princeton University.
Zhang received admission to Sun Yat-sen University chemistry department in the year 1980, after failing in his mathematics entrance tests but was later transferred to the department of mathematics after feigning color blindness . He earned his bachelor’s degree in math in the year 1983. Zhang then pursued Analytic numbers theorist Wang Yuan at the Chinese Academy of Sciences which is where the graduate received his master’s diploma in 1986. After 1986, Zhang came to United States to pursue his doctoral studies at Columbia University by Dorian M. Goldfeld. Zhang then pursued studies in the classes of Goldfeld, Herve Jacquet, Lucien Szpiro, and Gerd Faltings. He completed the PhD from Columbia University under Szpiro in 1991.
In arithmetic dynamics, Zhang (1995a, 2006) posed conjectures on the Zariski density of non-fibered endomorphisms of quasi-projective varieties and Ghioca, Tucker, and Zhang (2011) proposed a dynamical analogue of the Manin–Mumford conjecture.
