1990年我在美国纽约市立大学作访问研究(香港王宽诚基金会支持),课题是20世纪数学史.举世闻名的物理学家杨振宁教授在数学上亦有许多贡献.别的不说,他和米尔斯(Mills)提出的非交换规范场论和他1967年发现的杨-巴克斯特(Yang-Baxter)方程都已成为当今数学界的热门课题.可以说杨教授是20世纪数学和物理学发展的一位前驱者.于是我去信求访.承蒙杨先生首肯,遂有1990年10月19日下午的这次访谈.金秋十月的长岛,碧空如洗.我驱车前往石溪的纽约州立大学的理论物理研究所.所长室位于数学大楼的顶层.放眼窗外,树木葱笼,红叶初现,美丽如画.室内一块大黑板,靠墙一排大书架,就中一张堆满文稿的书桌,我们隔桌对谈.话题是现代中国科学史研究.
I was a visiting researcher at City University of New York in the United States in 1990 (supported by Hong Kong Wang Kuan Cheng Foundation), the subject of which is the history of mathematics in the 20th century. Professor Yang Zhenning, a world famous physicist, also made a lot of contributions in mathematics. Mills’ theory of non-exchange fields and the Yang-Baxter equation he discovered in 1967 have all become hot topics in mathematics today. It can be said that Professor Yang was a mathematic and physical development in the 20th century I wrote a letter to this letter, and after my approval by Mr. Yang, I had this interview on the afternoon of October 19, 1990. On October, Long Island, Azalea, I drove to the State of New York in Stony Brook University Institute of Theoretical Physics. The director of the room is located in the top of the math building .When looking out the window, the trees Cong Cong, red leaves appear, beautiful picturesque interior large blackboard, against a wall of large bookshelf, on a pile of manuscript We talked to each other on the desk, and the topic was the study of the history of modern Chinese science.
