ABSTRACT
Over the course of the next two years, Sam Nadler introduced me to mathematical research and worked with me for countless hours. What impressed me was that he would work with me for hours and never look at the clock, even though it was sometimes 6:30 P.M., 7:30 P.M., or later. There was no Ph.D. program at WVU, so I was not officially his student, and his work with me was entirely voluntary. At first, I did not understand why he was so generous with his time. Later, I realized that it was because of his love of mathematics. He loved mathematics and he was willing to give his time to others whom he felt had a similar feeling about the subject.
