Born in England on 15 December 1923, Freeman Dyson graduated from Cambridge University in 1945 with a BA in mathematics. In 1947, he moved to the USA where he went to work at Cornell University and, later, at the Institute for Advan

rams were not just a computational tool but a physical theory, and he developed rules for the diagrams that solved the problem of renormalization. Dyson presented Feynman's theories in a form that other physicists could understand enabling them to finally accept Feynman's work. Robert Oppenheimer.
