I used Mr. Leithold's book when I was in High School. Can't say it helped me much in life, but I'm sure his text helped many on their way to becoming engineers and mathematicians.

RIP for an unsung hero of an important subject.

I used his book at Ohio State during the late 70s for Math 151, 152 and 153. It had a red cover with a yellow lamp on the front. Propably only one of two textbooks where I remember the author's name. The other being "French" who was the author of my Engineering Graphics text and as I found out later, one of the designers of Ohio Stadium.

1968? Just DAMN! Too late, again; if I'd had his book, maybe I would have passed the stinking course.

Even my gall bladder missed laser surgery by less than 6 months, so instead I have a scar that any VC would have been proud to inflict on a GI.

Story of my life; story of my life: day late, dollar short, and NO RESPECT!

I used his excellent book, which was an inspiration for one of my own.

RIP, Louis.
