[matilde en cmat.edu.uy]

"Dear members of the Mathematics Department:

Our former colleague Bill Thurston passed away today.

His son Dylan writes that

"Bill passed away at 8 PM on August 21 in Rochester, NY. He was
surrounded by family, and went very peacefully, after a fight with
melanoma since spring 2011."

Bill was one of the greatest mathematicians of our times, and it was a
privilege
to have had him on the faculty at UC Davis for part of his career.

Joel Hass
Chair
