| biography:
| Topologist, born in Lodz, Russian Poland. Emigrating to the USA to teach at the University of North Carolina (1937–1945) and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (1945–1956), he discovered higher homotopy groups and exact sequences and did major work on fibre spaces. Charming and absent-minded, he died after falling off a pyramid in Uxmal, Mexico. |
