About the author

Public information about Sun Weigang is limited; all that is known is that his works have had some influence in the domestic book market. Judging from the four titles held in the collection, his writing centers on middle-school mathematics learning and entrance-exam guidance. These include mathematics study guides covering both junior and senior high school, such as Sun Weigang's Senior High School Mathematics and Sun Weigang's Junior High School Mathematics (2nd Edition), as well as a book for students and parents on study methods and aspiration education, Sun Weigang on Aspiring to Success: How 55% of a Class Got into Peking University and Tsinghua (2nd Edition). His content generally revolves around organizing mathematical knowledge, training problem-solving approaches, and exam preparation strategies. The language is practical and close to classroom teaching, suitable for middle-school students studying on their own or for teachers' reference. The aspiration book combines the topic of further education with discussion of goals and habits, and has a strong flavor of experience sharing. Overall, his works fall under exam preparation and popular science, with a pragmatic style that emphasizes applicability, and are somewhat representative among Chinese middle-school study guides and learning-guidance books.
