With R L Mills, he created the concept of non-abelian gauge theories, the foundation of the modern description of elementary particles and forces. Professor Yang has worked on a wide range of subjects in physics, but his abiding interests have been symmetry principles, particle physics, and statistical mechanics.In 1999, a symposium was held at the State University of New York at Stony Brook to mark the retirement of C N Yang as Einstein Professor and Director of the Institute for Theoretical Physics, and to celebrate his many achievements. A noteworthy selection of the papers presented at the symposium appears in this invaluable volume in honor of Professor Yang.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Alfred Scharff Goldhaber\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 9812385630\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9789812385635\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e World Scientific Publishing Company\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/11\/2003\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 304\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback","brand":"Alfred Scharff Goldhaber","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48448114458879,"sku":"9789812385635","price":58.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_892a3782-86e6-46d2-a20c-eda8a18c965a.jpg?v=1777236992","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/symmetry-and-modern-physics-alfred-scharff-goldhaber-9789812385635","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
