Frederick W. Gehring

Dr. Gehring was a firm but gentle instructor in calculus at the Univ. of Michigan in the fifties. I benefitted greatly from his teaching, especially since I was off to Munich, Germany the following year (1956), and the lessons that learned were essential in tackling math, auf Deutsch, in my junior year abroad. I had occasion to have abrief e-mail exchange with him in the late '90's, in which I congratulated him on an award he just received, and he congratulated me on choosing a career in...

remember Professor Gehring very fondly for I took his Calculus class in 1970. I remember using a book by Lipman Bers too. I realized over thirty years later how important his analysis of Calculus theory was, so I went back to this book and my notes and revisited the course at a more relaxed period in my life. Being a first year undergraduate in 1970, well, in truth, I was memorizing more out of stress, than trying to visually understand what indeed Professor Gehring had emphasized...

I was fortunate to have taken a class from him as an undergraduate at U of M. His enthusiasm for the subject and his respect for his students has always stayed with me. He was an inspiration to many. I'm sorry for your loss.

Chers Kalle et Peter, on pense bien à vous. Sendy, Benoit, Léon et Antoinette.

I remember Prof. Gehring from my days as a secretary in the Math Department - back in the 70s!He was a wonderful man...I'm so sorry to hear of your loss.

Thinking of Lois, Kalle and Peter. Memories of 40 years ago are still fresh to me.

May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow.

You will always live in our hearts and prayers.
