Abstract

Freeman Dyson understands what makes physicists different from mathematicians since he is both. He has had an interest in number theory since his youth, and he considers it applied mathematics, though not of a very serious sort. He notes that mathematicians tend to be lonely whereas physicists tend to be sociable and work in groups. He also notes that most physics discoveries are rediscovered mathematics, and the advent of string theory has placed physics firmly in the mathematical camp.

C.N. Yang received a Nobel Prize in physics in 1957 and made a considerable contribution to mathematics. Yang, son of a mathematics professor, was born in China in 1922. In 1945 he moved to the US to work for a PhD with Enrico Fermi. In 1954 he published a paper with R.L. Mills on non-Abelian gauge theory which led to the Yang-Mills equations. Work on statistical mechanics led to the Yang-Baxter equation developed with R.J. Baxter. Although Yang was working in the field of theoretical physics his equations had a great impact on mathematics.
