There are only two kinds of math books: Those you cannot read beyond the first sentence, and those you cannot read beyond the first page.

I should like to say that I am as proud of my Chinese heritage and background as I am devoted to modern science, a part of human civilization of Western origin, to which I have dedicated and I shall continue to dedicate my work.

Einstein's theory of General Relativity has a mathematical structure very similar to Yang-Mills theory.

Nature seems to take advantage of the simple mathematical representations of the symmetry laws. When one pauses to consider the elegance and the beautiful perfection of the mathematical reasoning involved and contrast it with the complex and far-reaching physical consequences, a deep sense of respect for the power of the symmetry laws never fails to develop.

The question was heatedly debated of how much Western culture should be brought into China.

In the latter half of the last century the impact of the expanding influence of Western culture and economic system brought about in China a severe conflict.
