回忆Kai-Lai Chung

Kai Lai Chung （1917-2009）, a Chinese-born mathematician, a world renowned expert in Probability Theory. He was born in Shanghai, and graduated from South-western Associated University, 1940 in Kunming, and got Ph.D. from Princeton University （USA） in 1947. He had worked many years as a full professor at Math. Dept. of Stanford University （USA） since 1960’s, and became a professor emeritus after his retirement. He made various unforgettable important contributions to Markoff chains as well as to the theory of stochastic processes. He had been the adviser of our JMRE （Journal of Mathematical Research and Exposition） for 29 years, and as a matter of fact, the name of our journal was devised and suggested by him in 1981. Certainly, the passing-away of Chung is really a great loss to the community of Chinese mathematicians and also to the world of probabilists.
