Murray Gell-Mann is a
physicist who is received the 1969
Nobel Prize in physics for his work on the theory of
elementary particles. He introduced the "[eightfold way]
?" as a means to coherently organize the great numbers of particles that had been found by experimentalists in prior years. The eightfold way establishes a clear link between
quark arrangements and
abstract algebra.
Gell-Mann wrote a popular science book, The Quark and the Jaguar, Adventures in the Simple and the Complex.
