Reuben said he was working on a biography of Peter Lax (his advisor).
Does anyone know if he ever finished it?
An aside. The first national math meeting I attended was in 1966. It was
in San Francisco and I was at Stanford. It was where I finally was able
to put faces to names. Peter Lax was one of the first ones I saw — his
chin was unmistakable.

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