Paul Richard Halmos, who lived a life of unbounded devotion to
mathematics and to the mathematical community, died at the age of
90 on October 2, 2006. This volume is a memorial to Paul by
operator theorists he inspired. Paul'sinitial research,beginning
with his 1938Ph.D. thesis at the University of Illinois under
Joseph Doob, was in probability, ergodic theory, and measure
theory. A shift occurred in the 1950s when Paul's interest in
foundations led him to invent a subject he termed algebraic logic,
resulting in a succession of papers on that subject appearing
between 1954 and 1961, and the book Algebraic Logic, published in
1962. Paul's ?rst two papers in pure operator theory appeared in
1950. After 1960 Paul's research focused on Hilbert space
operators, a subject he viewed as enc- passing ?nite-dimensional
linear algebra. Beyond his research, Paul contributed to
mathematics and to its community in manifold ways: as a renowned
expositor, as an innovative teacher, as a tireless editor, and
through unstinting service to the American Mathematical Society and
to the Mathematical Association of America. Much of Paul's in?uence
?owed at a personal level. Paul had a genuine, uncalculating
interest in people; he developed an enormous number of friendships
over the years, both with mathematicians and with
nonmathematicians. Many of his mathematical friends, including the
editors
ofthisvolume,whileabsorbingabundantquantitiesofmathematicsatPaul'sknee,
learned from his advice and his example what it means to be a
mathematician.
