Talk in Inaugural Session of ICDM-2016 by Dr.Linfan MAO
(毛林繁博士在第4届国际离散数学大会开幕式上的讲话)
Ladies and Gentlemen, Good Morning!
On behalf of a Honour Guest, it is my pleasant to welcome all attendants to be here for a common interest: Discrete Mathematics.
Today, we are faced with 2 views on our world, i.e., Continuous or Discrete., and there is a well-known ancient book, i.e., TAO TEH KING in
Today, there is also a main character in science developing, i.e., cross promotion and development each other on different branches of science, also called, the interdisciplinary, which results in many new developing trends in science, particularly, the applications of disrcete notion to mathematics and mathematical sciences.
I wish each attendant will use this opportunity to fully exchange well, display his results and learn more from the others. I believe also that each attendant will not return in vain attending this conference.
Finally, I wish the conference a complete success! Thanks to everyone!

女士们、先生门,大家早上好!
作为会议贵宾,我很高兴在这里,为离散数学这个共同的兴趣欢迎大家的到来。
今天,我们面临着两种对世界的认识,即连续或离散世界。中国有一本著名的古哲学书,书名叫《道德经》,是由一位著名哲学家老子所写。这本书的第42章讲到事物由来的离散思想,即道生一,一生二,二生三,三生万物.。同样,现代物质构成理论,即自然界万物由基本粒子构成,实际上也是一种世界离散思想,并最终导致这次会议大家讨论的主题,即离散数学。
现如今,科学发展有一个主要特征,就是不同学科间的交叉发展,共同促进T,也称之为交叉科学,并由此产生科学发展的一些新趋势,特别地,离散思想在数学以及数学科学的应用等。
我希望每一位与会者利用这次机会充分交流,展现个人研究成果,同时向其他与会者学习、了解更多成果与方法,并深信参加本次会议绝不会无获而归。
最后,预祝本次会议圆满成功!谢谢大家!
