This commemorative volume honors the extraordinary legacy of Nobel Laureate and World Scientific author Professor C N Yang, one of the most influential physicists of the 20th century.
Professor C N Yang's groundbreaking work reshaped modern Physics. He co-developed the Yang–Mills gauge theory, a foundation of the Standard Model, and shared the 1957 Nobel Prize in Physics with Tsung-Dao Lee for their discovery of parity non-conservation. The Yang–Baxter equation further transformed research in quantum physics and mathematics.
World Scientific Publishing was founded in 1981 under the encouragement of Professor C N Yang, whose vision and support were instrumental in our establishment. Over the decades, he has remained a valued author and collaborator, publishing numerous works with us — both as an author and as the subject of books celebrating his life and contributions.
This volume brings together Professor C N Yang's publications with World Scientific, honoring a century long pursuit of knowledge, integrity and discovery.
