Horng-Tzer Yau, whom the Harvard Gazette describes as having “harnessed the power of mathematics to analyze and explain physical processes from atomic behavior to the stability of stars,” will officially become a tenured professor here on July 1, at the age of 45 and with several distinguished awards under his belt...
...Shing-Tung Yau, William Casper Graustein Professor of Mathematics...
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...
...that although “the longest I’ve ever been in that building is probably only 14 hours,” he’s sure that this is shorter than the time spent by some of the computer science thesis writers who frequent the showers. Yau N. Chin ’04 admits to having once stayed in Maxwell Dworkin for three straight days. He says of the super-stocked vending machines, “I think it makes up for the hours of ridicule and shame that computer science concentrators have to walk around with...

Southeast Asia can?t boast many serial killers; Wong Chi-hang may have been the only one in Macau history, and Lam Go-wan in Hong Kong?s.

As in ?Untold Story,? Danny Lee (who gets co-director credits on both films) plays the tough...
