C. C. Tsen
Chiungtze C. Tsen (; Chang-Du Gan: [tsɛn˦˨ tɕjuŋ˨˩˧ tsɹ̩˦˨], April 2, 1898 – October 1, 1940), given name Chiung (), was a Chinese mathematician born in Nanchang, Nanchang, Jiangxi. He is known for his work in algebra. He was one of Emmy Noether's students at the University of Göttingen, Germany. One of his research interests was quasi-algebraic closure. In that area he proved a fundamental result which is now called Tsen's theorem. Biography Tsen was born in a poor fisherman's family in Xinjian District, Xinjian Country, Nanchang, Jiangxi Province. His father Tschu-Wun Tsen ( Zeng Zuwen) had two sons and several daughters, and Tsen was the eldest son. His uncle Lei Heng (), who was a ''jinshi'' and a member of the Hanlin Academy, persuaded Tsen's father to send Tsen to school. Due to poverty, Tsen had to take leaves from school intermittently to work. After leaving primary school, he worked in a coal mine while self-studying. In 1917, he passed the entrance exam ...
