In his brief  life, he was to have an influence far beyond his years. On August 12th  2000, The Deng Feng Wang Memorial Conference was held at his alma  mater, Princeton University, during which Deng Feng's mentors,  collaborators and friends presented scientific talks in a testimonial  to his tremendous influence on their work and careers. \u003cbr\u003e  The first part of this volume contains proceedings contributions from  the conference, with plenary talks by Nobel Laureate Professor Phil  Anderson of Princeton University and leading Condensed Matter  Theorists Professor Piers Coleman of Rutgers University and Professor  Christian Gruber of the University of Lausanne. Other talks, given by  collaborators, friends and classmates testify to the great breadth of  Deng Feng Wang's influence, with remarkable connections shown between  seemingly unrelated areas in physics such as Condensed Matter Physics,  Superconductivity, One-Dimensional Models, Statistical Physics,  Mathematical Physics, Quantum Field Theory, High Energy Theory,  Nuclear Magnetic Resonance, Supersymmetry, M-Theory and String Theory,  in addition to such varied fields outside of physics such as Oil  Drilling, Mixed Signal Circuits and Neurology. The second part of the  volume consists of reprints of some of Deng Feng Wang's most important  papers in the areas of Condensed Matter Physics, Statistical Physics,  Magnetism, Mathematical Physics and Mathematical Finance. This volume  represents a fascinating synthesis of a wide variety of topics, and  ultimately points to the universality of physics and of science as a  whole. As such, it represents a fitting tribute to a remarkable  individual, whose tragic death will never erase his enduring  influence.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePublication Date: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e06 October 2012\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePublisher: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSpringer US\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eImprint: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSpringer\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eISBN-13: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e9781461351443\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFormat: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePaperback \/ softback\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePage Count: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e207\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Springer US","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50803347882124,"sku":"9781461351443","price":98.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9781461351443.jpg?v=1781750774","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9781461351443","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
