Abstract. Tsuruichi Hayashi is a Japanese mathematician, mathematics educator and mathematical historian. He had never been to China, but had deep academic exchanges with China. Based on original materials, this article focuses on Hayashi and Chinese mathematicians, Chinese mathematics education and Chinese mathematics history. The study found that Chinese mathematician and mathematics educator Huang Jiyu, Chen Kien-kwong and Su Buchin, who were students of Hayashi, had received timely help from Hayashi in their study and life. Hayashi's exchanges with Chinese mathematician Hua Loo-keng and Chinese historian of mathematics Li Yan, promote the development of Chinese mathematics and the friendly exchanges of mathematics between China and Japan. These are also the main reasons why there were more selections from the writings of Hayashi among translated mathematics books in China.

Mathematics Subject Classification. Primary 01A70.
Key words and phrases. Tsuruichi Hayashi, mathematics exchanges between China and Japan, history of mathematics, history of mathematics education.
