Professor Dang Dinh Ang was born in 1926 in Ha Tay. In 1953, he went to the United States to study at the University of Kansas, a Fulbright scholarship, in 1955, he graduated in aerospace engineering with an award from the American Aviation Institute. In 1957, he obtained his master’s degree from CalTech University, a year later, he received a doctorate in mechanical mathematics from the California Institute of Technology and taught there for 2 years.

Returning to Vietnam in 1960, he assumed the position of Head of the Department of Mathematics at Saigon University of Sciences (now University of Natural Sciences) until 1975. He embarked on the reform of university training and modernization of the program. Mathematics teaching program, reform of the old “puzzle” exam, which once failed almost 300 students with the Math Géné (general mathematics) certificate.

He is the author of 6 thematic books on analysis and mechanics, including 1 book with foreign authors published by Springer Science Publishing House (Germany) …

As a person who has contributed exactly 46 consecutive years to the country’s mathematics, Professor Dang Dinh Ang is recognized by mathematicians around the world as a prestigious Vietnamese mathematician in his specialty.

The teacher is also the one who connects Vietnam with the five continents, guiding and guiding jointly with foreign teachers for Vietnamese graduate students; and through Professor Ang, many foreign teachers have attended math lectures in Vietnam; GS has trained many successful graduate students working at home and abroad (including their three children).
