As China rebuilds, it shows signs of remarkable progress in such fields as lasers and large‐scale integrated circuits.

Among his other, better known, studies this nineteenth‐century “mathematical naturalist” enquired into the origin and stability of the solar system, the fate of the universe and the shapes of rotating fluid masses.
