Узнал о смерти Миши Матвеева.
Очень жалко!
Помню, как мы с ним иногда играли на уроках в го, вместе начинали заниматься в школе топологией (написали совместную школьную работу, даже какую-то грамоту, кажется, получили). Потом пошли разными путями - но он продолжил идти по выбранному пути.Вот стихотворение, посвящённое его памяти.
(в стихотворении есть слово "дети" - я думал, Женя и Маша - его дочери, а оказалось - жена и дочь. Но стихотворение не изменить - так что простите за ошибку).Григорий Казакевич
Ещё один скрывается от нас В той дали, что, увы, для всех открыта – И слёзы высыпаются из глаз И плавят имя на куске гранита – И плавят даты. Жизнь меж них прошла – Короткая, но длинная такая… Остались дети, мысли и дела, Что нёс он в мир, как птиц, их выпуская, Чтоб эти птицы реяли над ним В прозрачном и бездонном небосводе, Чтоб ими в нашей памяти храним, Он был живым и не растаял, вроде, В той дали, смысл которой всем закрыт, Хотя она, увы, для всех открыта. И слёзы льются памятью в гранит С надеждой, что душа вечней гранита. 20.5.2011
Ещё раз с большой печалью.

Мария!
Дорогие мои ребята, друзья, ученики!Миша Матвеев ушел из этого мира. Я в шоке! Миша в моей памяти- светлейший человек. Удивительный, талантливый, скромный, красивый.
Ушел рано. Ушел - как улетел. Мы любим его! Мы вас любим! Мы скорбим.

Thanks to Paul's reminder, we added a page for topology articles and research. It will take time to organize the large amount of research he left, and I'll take all the help I can get. Please email Maria with suggestions.
Dear QOC members,
It is with a very heavy heart that I share the sad news that club member Mikhail "Misha" Matveev passed away suddenly on May 17th. Originally from Russia, Misha was a math professor at George Mason University. He and his wife Evgenia and daughter Maria attended many meets over the years and were always happy to volunteer. He will be missed greatly.
Please see Evgenia's message below for service information. Expressions of sympathy may be sent to their home address:
Evgenia and Maria Matveeva
Thank you for keeping them in your thoughts and prayers during this difficult time.
Heidi Onkst, QOC Volunteer Coordinator

Here are some stories about Misha I shared at the memorial service today. I hope these help us all keep the good memories and appreciate his unique, gentle humor.
1. When I was about two years old, my dad took me orienteering. Orienteering is a kind of sport where you run in the woods with a map and a compass to find a series of location markers. He put me on his shoulders and ran the second most difficult course, letting me down, just feet away from the control so I could punch his card at the marker. Now, a two-year-old emerging from the bushes at the first control marker on the course must have looked cute to other competitive runners. The same exact two-year-old, emerging from the bushes on the same course, only several seconds behind the best runners, is scary.
2. Tea is considered cold, and must be microwaved, if more than two minutes have passed since the teapot boiled.
3. There are two folders, one labeled HW (with an incoming arrow) and another - also labeled HW, but with an outgoing arrow. But - based on some evidence - he does, in fact, talk to students in class.
Evidence of talking in class: this was sourced from rateMyProfessors.com (so beware).
- doesn't have to try to be funny. It's his accent.
- He explains very well, but you still need to do a part (half) of hmk to understand the concepts.
- it was his accent that kept me awake.
4. Reading a Chinese takeout menu during dinner, while eating homemade Italian food, is normal.
