World Scientific Series in 20th Century Physics - Vol. 38
MATTER PARTICLED — PATTERNS, STRUCTURE AND DYNAMICS
Selected Research Papers of Yuval Ne'eman
edited by Remo Ruffini (University of Rome "La Sapienza", Italy) & Yosef Verbin (The Open University of Israel, Israel)
This unique volume contains a selection of more than 80 of Yuval Ne’eman’s papers, which represent his huge contribution to a large number of aspects of theoretical physics. The works span more than four decades, from unitary symmetry and quarks to questions of complexity in biological systems and evolution of scientific theories.
In keeping with the major role Ne’eman has played in theoretical physics over the last 40 years, a collaboration of very distinguished scientists enthusiastically took part in this volume. Their commentary supplies a clear framework and background for appreciating Yuval Ne’eman’s significant discoveries and pioneering contributions.
