@rao2z @SCAI_ASU I learned a huge amount from reading his books. He is one of those rare writers who can be rigorous and accessible simultaneously. His books are great for self-study.

Deeply saddened at the passing of my dear colleague, Dimitri Bertsekas. Everyone in RL, OR and control theory already knows of his monumental contributions. Over the past seven years, we at @SCAI_ASU also got to know him as an unwaveringly kind and gracious man of science. He truly enjoyed his research and has remained active all through; uploading two pre-prints to arXiv just in the past month! While I fully expected him to continue working for years to come, I also know that his contributions and books will be cherished by generations.. RIP 🙏
