Remembering Gian-Carlo Rota

Joseph J. Kohn

pp. 17-21

Abstrakt

I have known Gian-Carlo Rota for about half a century. I saw him very frequently during the periods that we overlapped in the Boston area (i.e. 1958-68 and 1996-97) and also on many other occasions. I remember Gianco as one of the most stimulating, insightful and witty persons. Here I will recall some of the indelible impressions he left on me.
