Prof. Michael D. Greenberg (U of Delaware), my role model. I owe my love for math to him. (If you are an engineering student and haven't yet read his Advanced Engineering Mathematics marvel, you should consider doing so asap.)
Prof. Gil Strang (MIT), god of applied math --- that includes Linear Algebra, PDE's, Fourier Analysis and Synthesis, FEM, Wavelets, and Optimization, to name just a few.)
Dr J. H. Wilkinson --- self explanatory! That's btw the 1970 ACM Turning award in the left picture.
Prof. Cleve Moler, formerly at U of Michigan and Stanford - for twenty years, founder of The MathWorks Incs., and current president of SIAM.
Prof. Lloyd Nick Trefethen, formerly at MIT and Cornell and now at Oxford. Expert in numerical analysis, first "official user" of MATLAB...need I say more?
Loren Shure, MATLAB Guru (The MathWorks Inc.) She posts once a week or so on her Art of MATLAB blog; be sure to add that to your RSS feeds unless you want to miss out on the coolest MATLAB tips and tricks!
Prof. Thomas Hou (Applied Math, Caltech) and I after the Computational Methods for Multiscale Problems class.

MathLinks giants. (This photo comes from my brother.)
Ehssan (my brother) in LWN library (NTU) skimming through Prasolov's Intuitive Topology. (He was looking for this book before coming here. In the library, as we were walking in one of the aisles, he said, "Oh, Prasolov's here!" I have no idea how he spotted this small book among all those other ones there. Maybe it's because he has a mathematician's eye on everything.)
Late Prof. Gene Golub, aka Prof. SVD and math's "Gene" (Stanford), the author of the Matrix Computations "Bible." I had the chance to see him in person but I didn't take it. And now it's just too late. I wish there was a way to turn back time, just a little bit at least. I'm grateful for the honor and privilege of knowing him. So long, GHG. You may read his obituary in Nature here (by Trefethen.)
