The visit of Prof. Dr. Giloi and Prof. Dr. Lauber

 

On 29-MAY-2006 my wife Rikka and I had the pleasure to welcome Prof. Dr. Wolfgang Giloi with his wife and Prof. Dr. Rudolf Lauber with his wife as our guests.

This was - and still is - a great honor to me, since the book "Analogrechnen" by Giloi/Lauber, published in 1963, changed my life. This book was one of the key reasons which eventually led to my enthusiasm for analog computing and the decision to become a mathematician. So it was a wonderful and inspiring event for me to meet both authors and their wifes in person.

The following pictures were taken by Rikka during this occasion:



Prof. Giloi and me in front of an RA 742.
