[FRIAM] Isadore Singer

[Barry MacKichan]

Isadore Singer died last month. He was born in 1924.

In my mind I keep a short list of great mathematicians who were also 
exceptional human beings. Singer is one; another is my thesis advisor 
Don Spencer. There is a good obituary at quantamagazine.org. Although we 
never worked together, he was always warm and friendly even on those 
occasions after one or more decades since we had seen each other.

I recommend the obituary.
