戴森博士說，楊博士對數學之美的感知「能將他最不重要的計算轉化為微型藝術品，將他更深層的思考轉化為傑作」。
Dr. Yang’s sense of mathematical beauty, Dr. Dyson said, “turns his least important calculations into miniature works of art, and turns his deeper speculations into masterpieces.”
unaware that their relationship was already becoming frayed.
Beginning in 1956, they published 32 papers together.
But tensions were emerging in the partnership, and the two parted ways in 1962.
