...Graustein Professor of Mathematics Shing-Tung Yau remembers receiving a phone call years ago from an unknown researcher in England informing him that the three mathematical structures discussed in his recently published “Calabi Yau Manifolds” were all essentially the same structure. Greene was the researcher, and Yau first disregarded his claims but was later astonished to realize Greene was correct. Yau subsequently convinced Greene to work with him for the following two years. “In those days, it was more like he was teaching me than me leading the research...
...film crew from Hong Kong—in Cambridge to film a documentary on award-winning Graustein Professor of Mathematics Shing-Tung Yau—stands impatiently in the hallway waiting to interview Gross, while another of Gross’ colleagues, Cabot Professor of Natural Sciences Curtis T. McMullen is at the blackboard, excitedly discussing elliptical curve differentials...
