Albrecht Dold, R.i.P.

From today's IMU newsletter: | 6. DEATH OF ALBRECHT DOLD ON 26-09-2011. | | Albrecht Dold, known for fundamental contributions to algebraic | topology, was born in Germany in 1928. He held positions in Heidelberg, | Zürich, Princeton and Columbia. He has been Vice-president of IMU in 1995-98. I particularly mourn his passing, as it was Dold's algebraic topology lectures at Columbia around 1961 (+/- 1) that taught me virtually all I know, or would ever learn later, about the Yoneda Lemma. Born August 5, 1928, in Triberg, Germany, and barely a teenager during WW II, Dold would have been 83 at the time of his death. -- Fred [For admin and other information see: http://www.mta.ca/~cat-dist/ ]
