Goodbye Louis!

Louis Nirenberg passed away yesterday in New York, he would have turned 95 on February 28th. A great loss for the “family”, as he was used to refer to the mathematicians community, who lost a founding father of the theory of partial differential equations and a referring person for Mathematics and Science: his own life.
