Sincerely, Carlos Prieto -- >>The MAA reports that Saunders MacLane died yesterday (April 14, 2005) at >>the age of 95. MacLane earned his doctorate under Weyl and Bernays at >>Goettingen and spent most of a long and distinguished career at the >>University of Chicago. He is probably best know for his authorship, with >>Garrett Birkhoff, of "A Survey of Modern Algebra," undoubtedly one of the >>influential undergraduate texts of the 20th century. He was also the >>advisor to 30 PhD students, mostly at Chicago and many of them >>disntinguished mathematicians.
