It turned out that Peter and I went to the same high school in NY, something he never forgot. I think it was when I was visiting my parents a little later that Peter invited me to give a talk at Courant. It was a pretty scary experience for a young grad student but it went well and we later had a wonderful lunch with his wife in Greenwich Village. <div><br></div><div>It was much later when I came to NM and met Reuben that we realized our mathematical connections.</div><div><br></div><div>Ed<br><div>

He talks about all kinds of good stuff: the work of Richtmyer, solutions,<br>
nonlinear approximations, carving semi-groups from unitary Lie groups in the<br>
study of scattering, and surprisingly the Riemann hypothesis in terms of<br>
decaying signals!<br>
