Aim Through the relevant historical material study,to arrange and analyze the life,achievements and effects of Zeng Jiong(1897—1940).Methods Document research and concept analyzing.Results Following E.Noether(1882—1935)in Gttingen and E.Artin(1898—1962) in Hamburg,Zeng Jiong mastered the advanced Abstract algebra,and published three important papers,which resulted in Zeng Theorems and Zeng Level.After coming back to China,he worked firstly in Zhejiang University,then in Tianjin Northern Universiy-Xi′an National Temporary University-Northwest National Associated University-Northwest National Engineering College,and lastly in Xikang National Technical School.Conclusion Zeng Theorems and Zeng Level not only laid the foundation of the transcendental extension of Brauer group,made the Hilbert 17th problem obtain the historic quantitative breakthrough,but also helped Chinese mathematics enter the mainstream of the world mathematics in the 1930′s and be close to the international advanced mathematics education.
