摘要

Renowned statistician Irving John "Jack" Good died of natural causes on April 5 at the age of 92. He was an emeritus university distinguished professor in the statistics department at Virginia Tech.rnJack was born in London in 1916 and given the name Isidore Jacob Gudak. (His father changed the surname, and Jack altered the rest later-he claimed a popular play titled "The Virtuous Isidore" opened the door to too many poor jokes.) Jack was a prodigy and became proficient in mental arithmetic by the age of nine. Lying in bed with diphtheria, he turned over in his mind his sister's lesson on square roots. On his own, he realized the irrationality of the square root of two and solved Pell's equation. The impressive feat of independently developing these results as a child is not diminished by their prior discovery.
