In Memory
Some people like Bach, some Mozart, also like DaVinci, geniuses all. I like Dick Dudley, a Prof Math at MIT. I could grasp 25% of his lectures but just sitting there was like sitting in a Mozart concert. He had the ability to fill 90 minutes with Theorems from memory, using techniques that I could just be amazed at. Dudley was to mathematics what Feynman was to physics. He will be missed. MIT has likely replaced him but in my opinion he was irreplaceable.
