Dr. Martin at Colorado School of Mines alerted us the unfortunate news of the passing away of Prof. Maurice Jaswon, a pioneer of boundary integral equation/boundary element method. An obituary is published by the London Daily Telegraph:

You can also read Jaswon's contribution to BEM in this history article: http://www.olemiss.edu/sciencenet/benet/05eabeb.pdf (posted with permission by Elsevier).
As we may publish a memorial article in Engineering Analysis with Boundary Elements, if you would like to contribute, please contact Paul Martin (pamartin [at] mines.edu). Regards,
