Chang-Shou Lin ( Chinese: 林長壽; born 17 April 1951) is a Taiwanese mathematician.
Lin completed his bachelor's and master's degrees in mathematics at National Taiwan University. [1] He then completed doctoral study at New York University in the United States in 1983, [1] and was a member of the Institute for Advanced Study between 1984 and 1985. [2] He taught at NTU from 1987 to 1990, when he joined the faculty of National Chung Cheng University. [1] [3] Lin was director of the National Center for Theoretical Sciences between 1993 and 2003. [1] In 2006, Lin returned to NTU as director of the Institute for Mathematical Sciences. [1]
In his research, Lin has explored mean field theory and Eisenstein series. [4] [5] Lin was elected a member of Academia Sinica in 1998, received the Morningside Medal that same year, and was awarded Taiwan's Presidential Science Prize in 2001. [1] He is an editor of the Bulletin of the Institute of Mathematics, published by Academia Sinica. [6] In 2014, Lin was invited to speak at the International Congress of Mathematicians conference in Seoul, South Korea.
Lin was critical of the Democratic Progressive Party response to the Sunflower Student Movement, [7] and has signed petitions backing required mathematics education for Taiwanese senior high school students, [8] and against the nuclear energy question posed by the 2018 Taiwanese referendum. [9]
