Golub Subject: Tribute to Henrici from Dahlquist To: na@Score.Stanford.EDU The message that Peter Henrici is no longer among us fills me with deep sorrow. Peter was one of the mathematicians, who was most important to me. We all know that he was a great numerical analyst, with a long-lasting influence, both through his own contributions and his great monographs on several subjects. To me he was also a great friend. Some time ago I found in my files his first letter, dated 1958, where he asks for a reprint. This was the introduction to our long friendship. He moved me from the provincial to the international scene by quoting my work in his excellent monograph on ODE's, and by inviting me to UCLA in 1962, and in many other ways. Peter was a lover of classical music and a brilliant piano player. This was another mutual interest of ours, and it was the theme of his last fine letter to me, written during his severe illness.
