Eulogy for my father

[veritykindle]

I know I haven't posted here in a long time, but my father died very early on Wednesday morning, and we had the funeral for him today, and I just wanted to save the speech I gave at the funeral.

So here is my eulogy for my father, may he rest in peace.

Dear Kate,
I was one from students of your father in 1980 when he was a lecturer in People university in Moscow (These period of his life he described in his paper in Mathematical education.)
Last days I found paper and two math problems that he did not publish in his site - I think they could be published in his memorial site and
be in your arxive. Keeping always memory about Andrei

Thank you so much, Roman! I've heard a lot about my father's time teaching at the People's University, so it's great to talk to someone who was in the classes there! And we were just talking recently about how we would like to find some of the problems my father had for school-age children, so it's really nice to see these problems.

I've never seen the format that the magazine, Kvant, is in, though - .djvu. Do you know if there is a program that can read it, or maybe convert it to some other format, like pdf or epub?

Also, I have no idea how this comment ended up in the spam filter! Sorry about that! Things like that didn't happen back when I still posted regularly on livejournal.

(By the way, if it is easier for you to write in Russian, that is fine with me as well. I am not great at writing in Russian, but I am happy to read it.)

There are browser plugins for djvu, as well as standalone programs. You can even read it on a smartphone.

http://djvu.org/ is adequate for desktops. On a smartphone, just install an appropriate app.

The format is great for representing scientific literature. Converters to pdf exist but reading the original djvu is more convenient.

Thank you, cema! I will try djvu.org, then.

Dear Kate,
Sorry for delay with my reply due to my absence.
It's not a problem for me to write in English if you understsand me.
I would like to tell you that from my life experience there is one thing that we can do for our friends who were the Scientists when they passed away - the Memorial site with their papers & memorials. The personal page in University site can dissapear at either reconstruction.
At the moment due to lifejournal spam filters - may be you can send me your e-mail for simplicity of communication and I would like to send you any Andrei's related materials that I hope to find in net. At the moment two new links that are look significant for Andrei personality(next comment due to the mentioned filter)
Best wishes,
Roman
