Neyman—from life

Constance Reid

A chapter in Neyman, 1998, pp 1-293 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract It is spring in Berkeley. For Jerzy Neyman it is the eighty-fifth spring. As I enter his office on the fourth floor of Evans Hall at the University of California, he is studying a paper on cosmology in the The Heritage of Copernicus, the volume which he organized and edited for the National Academy of Sciences to commemorate the 500th anniversary of the birth of the great Polish astronomer. (He plans to nominate the authors for the Medal of Science, which he himself received for laying the foundations of modern statistics.) Because of failing eyesight, he has to read line by line with a long narrow magnifying glass, the venetian blinds adjusted to shut out the glare of daylight.
