中大通訊 CUHK Newsletter 學生感言 Student’s Comments 孫慧 Sun Hui 「來港初期,由於不諳廣東話,適應有點困難,於是常找數學系老師 聊天。感謝他們的鼓勵和照顧,要不是他們的幫助,我想沒有今天的 成就。此外,課程的靈活設計,也讓我隨意選讀感興趣的科目。」 ‘Language was a problem when I first arrived as I didn’t speak Cantonese. But when I told my teachers about it, not only did they encourage me but they also paid me special attention. Without their help, I would not have had such achievement. The design of the curriculum was flexible too. I was free to choose the subjects I liked.’ 方展龍 Fong Chin-lung 「中大的數學課程殊不淺易,我曾以交換生和實習生身分到美國, 更發覺中大的課程尤較當地一些院校艱深。同學們都很優秀,能與 興趣和能力相近的人一起學習,深入討論,實是快事。我更懷念宿 舍生活,從中學到統籌活動和溝通的技巧,而所獲的友誼,比知識 更為珍貴。」 ‘The University’s mathematics curriculum is not easy. In fact, I found it more difficult than those at the US universities where I was an exchange student and intern. I enjoy learning and discussing with talented classmates with similar interests. I also miss living in the hostel where I made friends and enhanced my organizational and communication skills.’ 吳弢 Wu Tao 「在中大唸書,真的獲益良多。中大的教學水平非常高,科研項目 也做得很好,而師生人數比例亦較內地大學理想,不少科目每班只 有六至八人,老師較容易照顧我們的需要,也有助對某一領域形成 興趣。宿舍生活更讓我與其他科系的同學交流,了解他們的專業知 識。」 ‘My four-year university life in CUHK was fruitful. Both the teaching and research quality were outstanding. And the student-teacher ratio was better than that at mainland universities. There were only six to eight students per class for quite a lot of subjects. That means teachers could pay more attention to students’ needs. Hostel life also provided opportunities for me to interact with students majoring in different disciplines which broadened my vision.’ 1. 本刊每月出版兩期,農曆新年和暑期停刊。 T he CUHK Newsletter is published on a fortnightly basis except during the Chinese New Year and summer vacation. 2. 截稿日期載於本刊網頁: Deadlines for contributions can be found at: www.cuhk.edu.hk/iso/newsletter/ 3. 來稿請寄沙田香港中文大學資訊處《中大通訊》編輯部(電話 2609 8681 / 2609 8589 ,傳真 2603 6864 ,電郵 iso@cuhk.edu.hk ) 。 All contributions should be sent to the Editor, CUHK Newsletter , Information Services Office, The Chinese University of Hong Kong (tel. 2609 8681 / 2609 8589; fax. 2603 6864; e-mail iso@cuhk. edu.hk ). 4. 編輯有權刪改及決定是否刊登來稿。 The Editor reserves the right to decline contributions and to edit all articles. 香港中文大學資訊處出版 Published by the Information Services Office, The Chinese University of Hong Kong 中大通訊 CUHK Newsletter 十二名數學高材生獲美加名校全費獎學金 Math Students Receive Full Scholarships from Top Universities 中 大數學系今年有多達12名本科及研究生獲著名大學提 供全費獎學金,於9月負笈美加,修讀研究院課程。這 群幸運兒當中,有五位當年早已嶄露頭角,循中六生優先錄取 計劃入讀中大。他們在大學的悉心培育下,持續進取,終成大 器。 這些頂尖院校一般會每年給研究生提供四至五萬美元的獎助 學金,為期五年,讓他們無後顧之憂,專心研習。12位中大生所 獲的獎學金及其他資助總額逾兩千萬港元之巨。 數學系系主任劉家成教授為學生的出色表現感到高興,他說: 「同時有12名學生獲獎學金實屬難得,提供獎學金的院校不但 是著名大學,每年亦只錄取極少海外研究生。我們的學生能佔 一席位,顯示他們的學術水平卓越。」 數學系有逾兩成畢業生會繼續深造,與世界著名大學比較, 這個比例毫不遜色。過去三年,已有二十多名畢業生獲美加及 歐洲的大學,如普林斯頓大學、滑鐵盧大學及荷蘭Tinbergen Institute等招攬,提供全額獎學金,入讀研究課程,足見中大的 學生素質已達國際水平。 中大一直積極與海外的著名學府及機構保持聯繫,為學生發掘 交流和實習的機會,拓闊國際視野,增強競爭力。過去三年,前 往世界各地交流及實習的數學系學生多達70人次。 T welve undergraduate andMPhil mathematics students of CUHK received full fellowships/studentships from top North American universities to further their studies in September. Five of them had entered the Chinese University via the Early Admissions Scheme on the merit of their outstanding HKCEE results. Top universities generally provide each student with a five-year scholarship of US$40,000–$50,000 per year. The fellowships/studentships received by the 12 CUHK students amounted to more than HK$20 million. Chairman of the Department of Mathematics, Prof. Lau Ka-sing is heartened by the students’ performance. ‘We are very happy to have 12 students receiving full scholarships fromfamous institutions. Themathematics departments of these universities usually accept only a handful of overseas graduates per year and our students are on the list. This is a recognition of their academic ability.’ In the past, over 20% of CUHK mathematics graduates chose to further their studies—a very encouraging percentage compared to any top university in the world. During the past three years, over 20 CUHK graduates have received full scholarships from famous universities in North America and Europe such as Princeton University, University of Waterloo and Tinbergen Institute, the Netherlands, to further their studies. The University partners with world-famous universities and organizations to provide its students with the opportunity to go on exchange and internship. Over the past three years, some 70 CUHK mathematics students have gone on exchange or internship to universities in different countries. 獲全費獎學金學生 List of Scholarship Recipients 姓名 Name 提供院校 Offered by 陳偉傑 Chan Wai-kit 哲學碩士生 MPhil 印第安那大學 Indiana University 張汶慧 Cheung Man-wai 本科生 BSc 伊利諾大學 University of Illinois 張琬琳* Cheung Yuen-lam 本科生 BSc 滑鐵盧大學 University of Waterloo 招劍航* Chiu Kim-hong Fraser 本科生 BSc 哥倫比亞大學 Columbia University 方展龍* Fong Chin-lung 本科生 BSc 史丹福大學 Stanford University 許俊彥 Hui Chun-yin 哲學碩士生 MPhil 伊利諾大學 University of Illinois 盧智宇 Lo Chi-yu 哲學碩士生 MPhil 印第安那大學 Indiana University 麥傑豪 Mak Kit-ho 哲學碩士生 MPhil 伊利諾大學 University of Illinois 孫慧 Sun Hui 本科生/內地生 BSc/mainland student 加州大學洛杉磯分校 University of California, Los Angeles 謝樹堂* Tse Shu-tong 本科生 BSc 明尼蘇達大學 University of Minnesota 黃永康* Wong Wing-hong Tony 本科生 BSc 加州理工學院 California Institute of Technology 吳弢 Wu Tao 本科生/內地生 BSc/mainland student 北卡羅來納大學 University of North Carolina * 循中六生優先錄取計劃入讀中大 admitted via the Early Admissions Scheme
