Eulogy for a dear friend and committed HP fan

[Namir]

Valentin,

Last year in HHC2018 I gave a talk about finding polynomial roots by optimization. I dedicate the talk to you, since you had helped with the Vieta Formulas and given me the tool to implement the algorithm for polynomial roots by optimization.

Here is the link to the YouTube video. I do mention the dedication to you at the beginning and give more details about your help starting at about 8:20 into the video.
