Francis William Lawvere, (born Muncie, Indiana, February 9, 1937), died at
sunrise on January 23, 2023, aged 85, after a long illness at his home
in Chapel
Hill, NC. Bill graduated from Muncie Central High School in 1955 after
attending Jefferson Township High School, Upland. He became a mathematician
and received his undergraduate degree from Indiana University, Bloomington
and
his Doctorate from Columbia University, New York City. He did his
post-doctoral studies at the ETH in Zurich, Switzerland.
Bill was devoted to scientific research, education and the democratic
renewal
of society. He continues to be greatly appreciated for his research insights
and his many collaborations in discovering and elaborating a wide array of
new concepts in mathematics and several related fields.
As one of the leaders in the field of Category Theory, Bill worked to unify
and simplify both advanced and elementary mathematics, so that mathematics
and
philosophy could continue to serve as guides for science and education. He
opposed war, supported liberation and resistance struggles of peoples around
the world and at home, and encouraged
progressive political activities his entire adult life. He stood for free
speech and
vigorous discussion involving everyone in addressing problems based on
theory and a commitment to progress.
Bill generously gave guidance and encouragement to undergraduate and
graduate students, as well as to researchers in many countries. He wrote
several books and many articles representing his research and
collaborations with many colleagues. His wife, Fatima, was a constant
collaborator in his fruitful career in mathematical education, publishing
and lecturing. Bill lectured and collaborated with scientists in dozens of
countries and his contributions continue to widely impact several areas of
science.
