It was a mathematical feast, gathering morethana100analysts—fledgling,junior,andsenior,fromallovertheUSAand the world such as: Canada, India, Mexico, Sweden, the UK, South Korea, Brazil, Israel, Hungary, Finland, Australia, and Spain—to remember her outspokenness, her uncompromising ways, her sharp sense of humor, her erudition, and above all herprofoundloveformathematics. Many speakers talked about how their mathematical lives were influenced by Cora’s magnetic personality and her mentoring early in their careers and as they grew into independent mathematicians. Particularly felt was her influence among young Argentinian and Venezuelan mathematicians. Rodolfo Torres, in a splendid lecture about Cora and her mathematics, transported us through the years from Buenos Aires to Chicago and then back to Buenos Aires, from Caracas to the USA and then back to Buenos Aires, and from Washington, D.C., to California.

When news of Cora’s passing spread like wildfire in December 2010, many people were struck. The mathematical community quickly reacted.
