May he rest in peace. I still remember interacting with him on several pull
requests back in 2020 when I was preparing for Gsoc. His knowledge really

That's very sad to hear. I have vivid memories of interacting with him on

The passing of Kalevi Suominen truly a loss for the SymPy community.
I had the honor of meeting Kalevi face to face once on a video call
many years ago, but other than that, like everyone else, I primarily
interacted with him online. Kalevi was always known in the SymPy
community as the mathematic
Hi Jason,
I checked with Kalevi's son just to be sure and yes, that is the same Kalevi.
He completed his PhD in 1966:

Then after a long career teaching Mathematics at the University of
Helsinki he got involved with SymPy develop
Hi Oscar,
That is very sad to hear. I did not know Kalevi other than through SymPy
but it looks like he was an Emeritus mathematics professor from the
University of Helsinki. This page shows a photo of him:
