In the summer of 1990, S.Y. Cheng and S.-T. Yau organized a conference in honour of their professor S.S. Chern on the occasion of his 79th birthday. This volume contains personal reminiscences from some of his friends and students. The lectures reflect his wisdom and warmth toward young geometers.

The 2012 discovery of the Higgs boson was a sensational triumph -- the culmination of a 48-year-long search that put the finishing touches on the so-called "Standard Model" of particle physics. While the celebrations were still underway, researchers in China were making plans to continue the centuries-old quest to identify the fundamental building blocks of nature. More specifically, they began laying the groundwork for a giant accelerator -- up to 100 kilometers in circumference -- that would transport physics into a previously inaccessible, high-energy realm where a host of new particles, and perhaps a sweeping new symmetry, might be found.
The case for such an instrument is compelling: Even though the Standard Model can describe the behavior of particles with astounding accuracy, it is incomplete. The theory has little to say about the Big Bang, gravity, dark matter, dark energy, and other far-reaching phenomena.
This book explains how an ambitious new machine -- on the scale of China's proposed "Great Collider" -- could provide us with a fuller understanding of the origins of our universe and its most basic constituents.

One of the most eminent of contemporary mathematicians, Shing-Tung Yau has received numerous honors, including the 1982 Fields Medal, considered the highest honor in mathematics, for his work in differential geometry. He is known also for his work in algebraic and Kähler geometry, general relativity, and string theory. His influence in the development and establishment of these areas of research has been great. 
These five volumes reproduce a comprehensive selection of his published mathematical papers of the years 1971 to 1991 -- a period of groundbreaking accomplishments in numerous disciplines including geometric analysis, Kähler geometry, and general relativity. 
The editors have organized the contents of this collection by subject area -- metric geometry and minimal submanifolds; metric geometry and harmonic functions; eigenvalues and general relativity; and Kähler geometry. 
Also presented are expert commentaries on the subject matter, and personal reminiscences that shed light on the development of the ideas which appear in these papers. 
Each of the volumes in this set may be purchased separately.
