Irving Kaplansky

A quotation for today

Irving Kaplansky (1917 - )

We [he and Halmos] share a philosophy about linear algebra: we think basis-free, we write basis-free, but when the chips are down we close the office door and compute with matrices like fury.

Paul Halmos: Celebrating 50 Years of Mathematics.
