American astronomer
Qiudong Wang is a professor at the Department of Mathematics, the University of Arizona . In 1982, he received a B.S. at Nanjing University and in 1994 a Ph.D. at the University of Cincinnati .[ 1]
Wang is best known for his 1991 paper The global solution of the n-body problem ,[ 2] in which he generalised Karl F. Sundman 's results from 1912 to a system of more than three bodies. However, L. K. Babadzanjanz [ru ] claims to have made the same generalization earlier, in 1979.[ 3] [ 4]
