Article status
Can someone explain to me why this is in the developed section? As far as I can tell, it is a reproduction of the Wikipedia article with only the second sentence changed and the bibliography removed.Barry R. Smith 11:38, 30 March 2008 (CDT)
- I don't know how it got developed status. Originally I wanted to rewrite the whole thing, but never got around to it. Indeed, the structure of the wiki article is horrible... meanwhile you can figure out how to de-developed it, since I don't know how, and I'll chip away at it as I think more about a better structure for the article.

- I whacked away at it a bit more, putting it more into the form of a encyclopaedia biography; I think it's 'decent' on that front now. Since I know nothing of math, you all should check to make sure the math content is correct (I tried to change nothing at all, just rearranged existing text; my only new text was in the summary of his importance in the intro).

Useful source
The Yale Daily News obituary seems like it has a lot of useful info (and can presumably be relied on); I haven't looked to see if all important data from it is in the article. J. Noel Chiappa 13:31, 30 March 2008 (CDT)
