Does anyone remember a mathematician by the name of Murray Spiegel?
If so, do you know if he's still alive?

That's too bad.
He was one of the greatest mathematicians of our day.
I really wish I could have talked to him.

Thanks Helmut.

Indeed, that is a pity. His Schaum's outline on Complex Variables was the book I learned from, quite a good book.
