About the author
Xu Yuan is an author with limited publicly available information in the Chinese book database. Two works can currently be confirmed, both falling under the general category of biography. One is Mathematics Masters: From Zeno to Poincaré, which uses major figures in the history of mathematics as its thread to trace the development of mathematical thought from ancient Greece to the modern era. The other is The Call of Mission: A Biography of Gu Fangzhou, which focuses on Gu Fangzhou's life experience and the process of fulfilling his mission. The two books differ markedly in subject: one concerns the history of science and a collective portrait of mathematicians, while the other is a biography of a single individual, indicating the author's interest in both group-based historical narration and individual life stories. Because reliable records of birth and death dates, nationality, education, and professional experience are unavailable, biographical details cannot be added at present, and the author's writing style and influence await further material for clarification.
