Memories of Rudy Kalman [Historical Perspectives]
Brian D. O. Anderson · IEEE Control Systems · 2017
Rudy Kalman arrived at Stanford University as a professor in the fall of 1964. This was the date of my commencement as a graduate student, and my adviser recommended that I take a course from Rudy. Although I had never heard of him prior to that time, I quickly picked up from my adviser Robert Newcomb and the other students with whom I was sharing an office that he was someone special.
