Loo-Keng Hua
Hua received honorary doctorates from the University of Nancy (1980), the Chinese University of Hong-Kong (1983), and the University of Illinois (1984). He was elected a foreign associate of the National Academy of Sciences (1982) and a member of the Deutsche Akademie der Naturforscher Leopoldina (1983), Academy of the Third World (1983), and the Bavarian Academy of Sciences (1985).
Professor Wang Yuan has written a fine biography of Hua, and I am indebted to it for some of the information I have used. I have also drawn on the obituary notice I wrote for Acta Arithmetica.
