| '''Robert Laurence Mills''' (April 15, 1927 – October 27, 1999) was a [[physicist]], specializing in [[quantum field theory]], the theory of [[alloy]]s, and [[many-body theory]]. While sharing an office at [[Brookhaven National Laboratory]], in 1954, [[Chen Ning Yang]] and Mills proposed a [[tensor]] equation for what are now called [[Yang-Mills field]]s. This equation reduces to [[Maxwell's Equations]] as a special case; see [[gauge theory]].

| ==Biography==
| |
| | |
| Mills was born in [[Englewood, New Jersey|Englewood]], [[New Jersey]], and graduated from [[George School]] in [[Pennsylvania]]
| |
| in early 1944. He studied at [[Columbia College of Columbia University|Columbia College]] from 1944 to 1948, while on leave from the Coast Guard. Mills demonstrated his mathematical ability by winning the [[William Lowell Putnam Mathematical Competition]] in 1948, and by receiving first-class honors in the [[Tripos]]. The mathematical ability he displayed there was evident throughout his career as theoretical physicist. He earned a master's degree from [[University of Cambridge|Cambridge]], and a Ph.D. in Physics under [[Norman Kroll]], from [[Columbia University]] in 1955. After a year at the [[Institute for Advanced Study]] in [[Princeton, New Jersey|Princeton]], New Jersey, Mills became Professor of Physics at [[Ohio State University]] in 1956. He remained at [[Ohio State University]] until his retirement in 1995.<ref>via ''[[The New York Times]]''.

| Mills and Yang shared the 1980 Rumford Premium Prize from the [[American Academy of Arts and Sciences]] for their "development of a generalized gauge invariant field theory" in 1954.
| |
| | |
| ==Personal life==
| |
| Mills was married to Elise Ackley in 1948. Together they had sons Edward and Jonathan, and daughters Katherine, Susan, and Dorothy. The Mills family lived for many years in [[Columbus, Ohio]] during Mills' tenure as professor at [[Ohio State University]]. The family also spent considerable time during the summer and winter breaks at their property on Echo Lake in [[Charleston, Vermont]]. Robert opted to live out his final months at their residence there.
