He was the author of more than a dozen books, many of them familiar to mathematicians around the world, and was acknowledged for his expository skill, both in writing and speaking. He received many awards during his lifetime, including the AMS Steele Prize (1983, for his many graduate texts) and the MAA Gung and Hu Award (2000, for distinguished service to mathematics). For many years, he was active in the governance of the AMS, serving in many positions including as vice-president (1981-82).
