5 http://www.sns.ias.edu/~dyson/ Freeman Dyson is now retired, having been for most of his life a professor of physics at the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton. He was born in England and worked as a civilian scientist for the Royal Air Force in World War 2. He graduated from Cambridge University in 1945 with a BA degree in mathematics. He went on to Cornell University as a graduate student in 1947 and worked with Hans Bethe and Richard Feynman.

6 Feynman and GellMann

7 His most useful contribution to science was the unification of the three versions of quantum electrodynamics invented by Feynman, Schwinger and Tomonaga. Cornell University made him a professor without bothering about his lack of Ph.D. He subsequently worked on nuclear reactors, solid state physics, ferromagnetism, astrophysics and biology, looking for problems where elegant mathematics could be usefully applied.

8 He has written a number of books about science for the general public. "Disturbing the universe" (1974) is a portrait- gallery of people he has known during his career as a scientist. "Weapons of Hope" (1984) is a study of ethical problems of war and peace. "Infinite in all directions" (1988) is a philosophical meditation based on Dyson's Gifford Lectures on Natural Theology given at the University of Aberdeen in Scotland.

9 "Origins of Life" (1986, second edition 1999) is a study of one of the major unsolved problems of science. "The sun, the Genome and the Internet" (1999) discusses the question of whether modern technology could be used to narrow the gap between rich and poor rather than widen it. Dyson is a fellow of the American Physical Society, a member of the US National Academy of Sciences, and a fellow of the Royal Society of London. In 2000 he was awarded the Templeton Prize for progress in Religion.

17 Ed. Witten [1951- ] Fields Medal, 1990 Atiyah: 雖然他顯然是物理學家 ( 從他的著作可知 ), 然而他主導數學的能力顯然少有數學家可以出其 右, 他以數學描述物理觀念的能力也是近乎唯一. 其完美地運用物理直觀, 開創新而深入的數學的能 力, 一再令數學界嘆為觀止 …. 數學是科學之母 物理是科學之父 布蘭代斯大學 (Brandeis) B.A. 1971 歷史系 Princeton M.A. 1974 / 羅文嘉 / Ph.D. in 1976 Harvard 博士後 1976-77; Junior Fellow 1977-80 Princeton 物理教授 1980 MacArthur Fellowship 1982 高等研究院 (Institute for Advanced Study) Professor in the School of Natural Sciences 1982
