   Extractions: I was born 1936 in Waltham, Massachusetts, the son of E. Bright Wilson Jr. and Emily Buckingham Wilson. My father was on the faculty in the Chemistry Department of Harvard University ; my mother had one year of graduate work in physics before her marriage. My grandfather on my mother's side was a professor of mechanical engineering at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology ; my other grandfather was a lawyer, and one time Speaker of the Tennessee House of Representatives. My schooling took place in Wellesley, Woods Hole, Massachusetts (second, third/fourth grades in two years), Shady Hill School in Cambridge, Mass. (from fifth to eighth grade), ninth grade at the Magdalen College School in Oxford, England, and tenth and twelfth grades (skipping the eleventh) at the George School in eastern Pennsylvania. Before the year in England I had read about mathematics and physics in books supplied by my father and his friends. I learned the basic principle of calculus from Mathematics and Imagination by Kasner and Newman, and went of to work through a calculus text, until I got stuck in a chapter on involutes and evolutes. Around this time I decided to become a physicist. Later (before entering college) I remember working on symbolic logic with my father; he also tried, unsuccessfully, to teach me group theory. I found high school dull. In 1952 I entered Harvard. I majored in mathematics, but studied physics (both by intent), participated in the Putnam Mathematics competition, and ran the mile for the track team (and crosscountry as well). I began research, working summers at the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, especially for Arnold Arons (then based at Amherst).

   http://www.physics.ohio-state.edu/~kgw/kgw.html
   
   Extractions: Kenneth Wilson was born in 1936 in Waltham, Massachusetts, the son of a very distinguished chemist who taught at Harvard University throughout his career. Wilson was an undergraduate at Harvard College, and obtained his doctorate in 1961 at the California Institute of Technology , where he was a student of Murray Gell-Mann. He was then a Junior Fellow in Harvard's Society of Fellows, and joined Cornell University 's Department of Physics in 1963. He held a professorship there beginning in 1970, and the James A. Weeks Chair in Physical Sciences since 1974. Wilson became the Director of the Center for Theory and Simulation in Science and Engineering ( Cornell Theory Center ) - one of five national supercomputer centers created by the National Science Foundation - in 1985. In 1988, Wilson moved to The Ohio State University 's Department of Physics where he became the Hazel C. Youngberg Trustees Distinguished Professor. From 1991 to 1996, he was Co-Principal Investigator on Ohio's Project Discovery , one of the National Science Foundation's Statewide Systemic Initiatives.  Wilson currently co-directs

   http://www1.physik.tu-muenchen.de/~gammel/matpack/html/Biographies/Wilson_Kennet
   
   Extractions: Kenneth Wilson Wilson was elected to the National Academy of Sciences in 1975, the American Academy of Arts and Sciences in 1975, and the American Philosophical Society in 1984. In 1980, he shared Israel's $100,000 Wolf Prize in Physics with Michael Fisher and Leo Kadanoff. The ultimate recognition of his achievements in Physics came with his 1982 award of the Nobel Prize in Physics, awarded for discoveries he made in understanding how bulk matter undergoes "phase transition", i.e., sudden and profound structural changes resulting from variations in environmental conditions. Wilson's background prior to educational reform ranges from elementary particle theory and condensed matter physics (critical phenomena and the Kondo problem) to quantum chemistry and computer science, where he is co-inventor of a new programming style called Gibbs, still under development.

My grandfather on my mother's side was a professor of mechanical engineering at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology; my other grandfather was a lawyer, and one time Speaker of the Tennessee House of Representatives. In September of 1963 I came to Cornell as an Assistant Professor. I received tenure as an Associate Professor in 1965, became Full Professor in 1971 and the James A. Weeks Professor in 1974. I came to Cornell in response to an unsolicited offer I received while at CERN; I accepted the offer because Cornell was a good university, was out in the country and was reputed to have a good folk dancing group, folk-dancing being a hobby I had taken up as a graduate student. I have remained at Cornell ever since, except for leaves and summer visits: I spent the 1969 - 1970 academic year at the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center, the spring of 1972 at the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton, the fall of 1976 at the California Institute of Technology as a Fairchild Scholar, and the academic year 1979 - 80 at the IBM Zürich Laboratory.

    Extractions: In daily life and from classical physics we know that matter can exist in different phases and that transitions from one phase to another may occur if we change, for example, the pressure or the temperature. A liquid goes over into a gas phase when sufficiently heated, a metal melts at a certain temperature, a permanent magnet loses its magnetization above a certain critical temperature, just to give a few examples. Phase transitions have been studied in physics over a long time and for a large number of different systems. The phase transition is often characterized by an abrupt change in the value of some physical properties. In other cases the transition from one phase to another may be rather smooth. Examples of the latter case is the transition between liquid and gas at the critical point, and from ferromagnetism to paramagnetism in metals such as iron, nickel and cobalt. These smooth phase transitions show instead a number of typical anomalies near the critical point. Some quantities grow above all limits when one approaches the critical temperature. These anomalies, usually called
