I am no mathematician myself, and admittedly I had no idea who this man was, but I think it is important to honor and remember anyone who contributed to our understanding of things whether it be in the hard sciences, humanism or theology.
Thanks for posting!

assuming one is in a plane. He certainly will be missed.....
