Manfred Robert Schroeder 1926-2010

Manfred Robert Schroeder died on December 28, 2009. I was proud and honored to have known him and been inspired by him. His research in acoustics sparked my interest and my colleague Trevor Cox and I decidated our book on Absorbers and Diffusers to him. In our minds, he was the greatest acoustician of the 20th century, leading the way in a wide variety of diverse fields.
His obituary in Physics Today (April 2010) by Charles Schmid and Gerhard M. Sessler ends with "Everyone who met Manfred experienced his kindness, humor, cheerfulness, and ease of communication. His death is a profound loss to the art of combining mathematics, science, and engineering to create outstanding innovations. His many colleagues, students, and friends all over the world deeply miss him." Read more in a special presentation on the 30th anniversary of the first MLS diffusor paper.
