Hua Luogeng, who was noted for his pioneering research in mathematics, died on June 12, 1985 during his lecture tour in Japan at the age of 75. Hua paid close attention to the application of his mathematics achievement. Late Chinese leader Mao Zedong wrote a letter in 1964 in support of Hua's proposal on the application of his critical path method and program evaluation and review technique in life and industrial management. |
