中学毕业后，苏步青前往日本深造，先后在东京高等工业学校和东北帝国大学学习。

He graduated from Northeast Imperial University in 1927 and received PhD there in 1931.

1927年苏步青毕业，1931年获得博士学位。

During his study in Northeast Imperial University, he found 4 times algebra⁴ cone-shaped surface in study of general bent⁵ surface. It was a breakthrough in geometry research. Mathematical circles of Japan and the world named it as Su's cone-shaped surface.

在东北帝国大学学习期间，他在研究一般曲面的时候发现了4倍几何锥形面，这在几何研究领域是一个突破，日本和国际数学界将其命名为“苏氏锥形面”。

Being a doctor, Su Buqing turned down detainment from his teachers and friends and resolutely⁶ returned to China.

获得博士学位后，苏步青拒绝了师友的挽留，毅然返回中国。

He was invited to work at the Department of Mathematics of Zhejiang University, and began his teaching and education life.

被聘到浙江大学数学系任教，开始了他的教学教育生活。

Though the living conditions for Prof. Su were not good, he worked hard and fostered many excellent scientists.

尽管苏教授的生活条件并不好，但是他仍然努力工作，培养了许多优秀科学家。

Besides his hard work in education, Prof. Su didn't give up his research and creative work. He wrote more than ten monographs⁷ such as Affine Differential Geometry. He won the National Scientific Conference Award and the second prize of National Science and Technology Progress Award for his achievements in "Ship Lifting Program" and "Curved-Surface Production Procedure of Ship's Lines" respectively.

繁忙的教育工作之余，苏教授还坚持科研创造工作，写有十几部专著，例如:《仿射微分几何学》，研究成果“船体放样项目”、“曲面法船体线型生产程序”分别荣获全国科学大会奖和国家科技进步二等奖。

In 1952, he shifted to Fudan University for teaching and was appointed as Dean of Studies. In 1983, he assumed the post of honorary president of Fudan Universify.

1952年，苏步青到复旦大学，任教务长，1983年起任复旦大学名誉校长。

Other than that, he was also vice-chairman for the seventh and eighth Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference(CPPCC), member of the Standing⁸ Committee of the fifth and sixth National People's Congress, vice-president of the Central Committee of China Democratic League.

历任第七、八届全国政协副主席，第五、六届全国人大常委，民盟中央副主席。

In 1955 he was elected committee member of Mathematics and Physics Department of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and Standing Committee of Academy.

1955年当选为中国科学院数学物理学部委员，兼任学术委员会常委。

He specialized⁹ in the study and founded a school of differential geometry.

专长微分几何，创立了国内外公认的微分几何学派。
