== Biography ==
Yau was born in 1952 in [[British Hong Kong]],<ref>Liquid error: wrong number of arguments (1 for 2)</ref> with his ancestral home in [[Jiaoling County]], [[Guangdong]], China. He is the younger brother of the renowned mathematician [[Shing-Tung Yau]].<ref>Liquid error: wrong number of arguments (1 for 2)</ref>
After graduating from the [[Chinese University of Hong Kong]], he studied mathematics at the [[State University of New York at Stony Brook]], where he earned his M.A. in 1974 and Ph.D. in 1976.<ref name=":0">Liquid error: wrong number of arguments (1 for 2)</ref><ref name=":1">Liquid error: wrong number of arguments (1 for 2)</ref>
