my name is xie dong. i was born on
august 25, 1965, in hengyang, hunan province. in 1977 i graduated from harbin
technical institute where i majored in electronic engineering, and then i was
assigned to work in an electronic apparatus factory as a technician for nine
years. during this period i gained some practical experience in designing and
manufacturing several varieties of electronic apparatus. in the fall of 1983, i
was admitted to the department of mathematics, zhejiang university as a graduate
student. six months before i took the examinations, i started to study higher
algebra and analysis by myself in my leisure time. since the enrollment i have
completed all the courses required by the graduate program, making straight a
both in my undergraduate and graduate courses. my performance in the graduate
seminars of differential calculus and mathematical and physical formulas shows
that i have got a good grasp of the fundamentals of mathematics.
i have been studying english intensively for six months. i have attended
an english class taught by an american professor. ms. kathy swift, from the city
university of new york. according to her, within a few weeks of my arrival
abroad, i should have no difficulty either in functioning on a daily basis or in
participating fully in graduate studies.
presently i am interested in applied mathematics and later i would like to
do research in control theory. if i am accepted as a graduate student. i plan to
stay for 2-5 years pursuing a ph.d. degree. i am sure i would make progress in
my future career.
