A Farewell to Dimitri Bertsekas: A Scholar Who Made Complexity Clear

Dear friends, I would like to share news from the world of AI and computer science. Dimitri Bertsekas has passed away. He was one of the most influential researchers in optimization, control, computation, and reinforcement learning.

He leaves behind not only more than 20 books and textbooks, but also a rare style: clear, precise, and deeply elegant.

His work helped shape entire fields and continues to guide new generations of engineers and researchers.

Why this matters: scholars like him set the standard for how AI should advance — through depth, clarity, and respect for the reader.

And for you: whose books or work have been a professional benchmark?
