By Soumya Gupta | March 27, 2011

Former Dartmouth math professor Laurie Snell, one of the country's first probability theorists and a lover of tennis, music and the outdoors, died March 19 of acute leukemia at the age of 86, according his wife Joan Snell. Focusing on probability and chance theory, Snell worked closely with top mathematicians during the 1950s, according to his colleague and former research assistant Bill Peterson '79, a math professor at Middlebury College. "If you ever met him at a conference, or for a dinner, he would just regale you with these delightful stories from the early days of probability theory and the College's math department," Peterson said. A passionate mathematician, Snell spent 42 years at the College as a math professor.
