Vale: Professor Jonathan M Borwein

These pages are part of the continuing legacy of Professor Jonathan M Borwein, CARMA's Founding Director, whose sudden and unexpected passing away on 2nd August 2016 caused shockwaves of sorrow to ripple around the mathematical world. Jon changed the way innumerable people think and feel about mathematics, and his contributions are celebrated and commemorated in events and blogs listed in this news item, including the Jonathan M Borwein Commemorative Conference

These pages reflect the activities of CARMA, the last of several centres that he founded (including IRMACS and CECM), all of which foster creative, interdisciplinary and experimental ways of seeing and understanding mathematics.

We invite you to delve into these pages. They are a treasure trove of inspiration and resources. Jon always wrote with the intention that what he did would be used again and again in multiple different ways. The richness of his thinking, and juxtaposition of unexpected ideas, continues to offer us fruitful ways forward long after he himself is gone.
