Abstract

I first met Andre Scedrov in the Fall of 1983 when I joined the Computer and Information Science Department faculty at the University of Pennsylvania. Andre had started in the Mathematics Department at Penn the year earlier. As was apparent even then, Andre’s approach to doing research lead him to seek out colleagues. In 1983, he crossed the divide between the Mathematics Department and the Computer and Information Science Departments—that is, he crossed 33rd Street in West Philadelphia—in search of joint research projects with computer scientists.
