He was the founder of differential geometry in China, and served as president of Fudan University and honorary chairman of the Chinese Mathematical Society. Su was born in Pingyang County, Zhejiang Province in 1902, with ancestry from Quanzhou. Su's academic journey began in 1911 when he transferred to the First Primary School in Pingyang County and was subsequently admitted to the Zhejiang Provincial Tenth Middle School in 1914.

After that, he was admitted to the Department of Mathematics of Tohoku Imperial University in Japan and graduated in 1927. Under the supervision of Tadahiko Kubota, Su received his Ph.D. from the university in 1931 for dissertation entitled The relation between affine and projective differential geometry. During his time in Tohoku Imperial University, Su met and married Yonako Matsumoto in 1928. After returning to China, he first served as a professor and dean at Zhejiang University (he established the Chen-Su School with Chen Jiangong).
