The Institute of Mathematics has a fine tradition of respecting teachers, of valuing education, and of attaching great importance to personnel training. The institute once set up a "boxing practicing field" for young scholars to exchange views. In 1956, the institute enrolled the first batch of graduate students. But before the "cultural revolution," less than 20 people were enrolled for the graduate study. In 1978, the graduate study system was resumed, and the institute enrolled 24 graduate students selected from more than 1,500 people. Since then, personnel training had been systemized, and the institute became a key base of the CAS to train students toward doctor's degree. Since 1978, nearly 1,000 students got the master's degree, more than 500 students got the doctor's degree, and more than 100 scholars conducted post-doctoral study in the four institutes. A number of outstanding young mathematicians have emerged. Three of them were elected academicians of the CAS; two were honored as "Top Ten Outstanding Youth"; two won the Young Scientist Award of China; one won the National May 4th Medal; three became chief scientists of "973" projects; 20 obtained the financial support from the State Outstanding Youth Fund; 8 won Hong Kong's "Qiushi" Award for Outstanding Young Scholars; 10 won the first-class prize of the CAS Young Scientists; and 17 were supported by the "Hundred Talents Program".
