Abstract: The article presents an overview and analysis of implementing fundamental scientific developments into mining practice in China, which contributes to the development of new technologies and improving the safety of miners. Under the guidance of Prof. Qiao Jianyong, research was conducted in China's rock-bump hazardous mines to analyse the causes and mechanisms of geodynamic phenomena, create a model of the interaction of geodynamic systems of various hierarchy levels in a mining area, distribution of stresses in the rock mass around the mine workings, and improvement of pillarless systems of coal seam mining. The results of this research are based on Prof. Qiao Jianyong's innovative achievements in the field of pure mathematics. This article presents some of the results of this research, which have been supported by both practical experts and the academic community in China and abroad and have received various awards.

Keywords: fundamental mathematics, geodynamic model, geomechanical safety, stress state, pilarless mining, efficiency improvement
