Symmetry and Modern Physics : Yang Retirement Symposium.

C.N. Yang, one of the greatest physicists of the 20th Century, was awarded the Nobel Prize in 1957, jointly with T.D. Lee, for research concerning fundamental physical principles, astounding the world of physics by demonstrating that elementary particles and their reactions discriminate between thei...
