You husband was a great man who helped many go from student to working professional, he will be missed Lynne.
Lynne, I'm very sorry to hear of Ray's passing. I've been in contact many times here at Physics Forums over the past ten years or so, due to our mutual interest in helping students with mathematics problems. Ray provided high quality help to many students here at this site. He will be missed.Ray Vickson said:I am sorry to report the death of Ray Vickson who was a member of this forum. He enjoyed assisting members with their problems during his retirement.

In fact, this is what I always find most appealing here: the opportunity to talk with people around the globe in basically the same language of math, regardless the continent, culture or time zone. To me this represents a kind of hope for humanity. Ray was such an anchor of hope. And that is why I won't forget him.chwala said:Physicsforums made me share a life with Ray, though separated by distance and different cultural background
His Ph.D. thesis at MIT was titled A generalized interference model. It led to the following publication:jedishrfu said:I wonder what his theoretical physics specialty was?
Abstract said:A crossing-symmetric Regge-pole model of the generalized interference type is discussed. The model consists of a sum of infinitely many Regge poles in each channel, corresponding to a leading Regge trajectory and its parallel daughters. All the usual requirements are satisfied by the Regge residues, and nonlinear trajections can be introduced without difficulty. At the expense of a loss of physical interpretation, the double-counting problem can be eliminated by identifying the Schmid loops with the direct-channel resonances.
Heartfelt condolences. :(Ray Vickson said:I am sorry to report the death of Ray Vickson who was a member of this forum. He enjoyed assisting members with their problems during his retirement.
