Le Dr Robert Woodrow \u00e9tait v\u00e9ritablement l’un des grands piliers de la Soci\u00e9t\u00e9 math\u00e9matique du Canada, une pr\u00e9sence constante dont la joie, l’amiti\u00e9 et l’esprit de collaboration ont enrichi notre communaut\u00e9 au-del\u00e0 de toute mesure. Pendant plus de trois d\u00e9cennies, Robert s’est consacr\u00e9 avec un d\u00e9vouement remarquable \u00e0 la Soci\u00e9t\u00e9, occupant d’innombrables fonctions, notamment dans les domaines de l’\u00e9ducation et des concours. Son engagement infatigable, son encouragement sans faille envers les nouvelles g\u00e9n\u00e9rations, son attitude aimable et attentionn\u00e9e envers tous ses coll\u00e8gues et sa g\u00e9n\u00e9rosit\u00e9 sans limite sont pour nous tous un exemple brillant.<\/p>\n\n
Je l’ai rencontr\u00e9 pour la premi\u00e8re fois lors d’une r\u00e9union estivale, peu apr\u00e8s mon arriv\u00e9e \u00e0 l’Universit\u00e9 Laval. En traversant le hall d’entr\u00e9e, j’ai aper\u00e7u Graham Wright, Robert Woodrow et David Rodgers, assis autour d’une table, plong\u00e9s dans une conversation anim\u00e9e. Ils m’ont chaleureusement invit\u00e9 \u00e0 me joindre \u00e0 eux. Lorsque je suis parti, m\u00eame si c’\u00e9tait ma toute premi\u00e8re rencontre avec Robert, j’avais l’impression que nous \u00e9tions d\u00e9j\u00e0 des amis proches depuis notre plus jeune \u00e2ge. Il \u00e9tait tellement chaleureux, ouvert et dou\u00e9 pour mettre les autres \u00e0 l’aise. \u00c0 partir de ce moment-l\u00e0, la bonne humeur et la camaraderie de Robert, ainsi que celles de ses proches, sont devenues pour moi une source d’inspiration durable. Depuis, j’essaie, \u00e0 ma mani\u00e8re, de perp\u00e9tuer la gentillesse, la g\u00e9n\u00e9rosit\u00e9 et le d\u00e9vouement envers notre communaut\u00e9 dont Robert faisait preuve si naturellement et avec tant d’\u00e9l\u00e9gance.<\/p>\n\n
Robert restera dans nos m\u00e9moires avec la plus profonde affection, gratitude et admiration pour les g\u00e9n\u00e9rations \u00e0 venir. Sa lumi\u00e8re, son rire et son h\u00e9ritage de service resteront \u00e0 jamais grav\u00e9s dans le tissu m\u00eame de notre communaut\u00e9.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":11,"template":"","section":[516],"keyword":[],"class_list":["post-20033","article","type-article","status-publish","hentry","section-a-la-memoire-de-robert-woodrow"],"toolset-meta":{"author-4-info":{"author-4-surname":{"type":"textfield","raw":""},"author-4-given-names":{"type":"textfield","raw":""},"author-4-honorific":{"type":"textfield","raw":""},"author-4-institution":{"type":"textfield","raw":""},"author-4-email":{"type":"email","raw":""},"author-4-cms-role":{"type":"textfield","raw":""}},"author-3-info":{"author-3-surname":{"type":"textfield","raw":""},"author-3-given-names":{"type":"textfield","raw":""},"author-3-honorific":{"type":"textfield","raw":""},"author-3-institution":{"type":"textfield","raw":""},"author-3-email":{"type":"email","raw":""},"author-3-cms-role":{"type":"textfield","raw":""}},"author-2-info":{"author-2-surname":{"type":"textfield","raw":""},"author-2-given-names":{"type":"textfield","raw":""},"author-2-honorific":{"type":"textfield","raw":""},"author-2-institution":{"type":"textfield","raw":""},"author-2-email":{"type":"email","raw":""},"author-2-cms-role":{"type":"textfield","raw":""}},"author-info":{"author-surname":{"type":"textfield","raw":"Mashreghi"},"author-given-names":{"type":"textfield","raw":"Javad"},"author-honorific":{"type":"textfield","raw":""},"author-email":{"type":"email","raw":""},"author-institution":{"type":"textfield","raw":"Universit\u00e9 Laval"},"author-cms-role":{"type":"textfield","raw":""}},"unknown":{"downloadable-pdf":{"type":"file","raw":"https:\/\/notes.math.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/20-Robert-Woodrow-\u2013-Un-ami-jovial-et-un-collegue-devoue-\u2013-Notes-de-la-SMC.pdf","attachment_id":20172},"article-toc-weight":{"type":"numeric","raw":"52"},"author-surname":{"type":"textfield","raw":"Mashreghi"},"author-given-names":{"type":"textfield","raw":"Javad"}}},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/notes.math.ca\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/article\/20033","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/notes.math.ca\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/article"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/notes.math.ca\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/article"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/notes.math.ca\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/11"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/notes.math.ca\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/article\/20033\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":20034,"href":"https:\/\/notes.math.ca\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/article\/20033\/revisions\/20034"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/notes.math.ca\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=20033"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"section","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/notes.math.ca\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/section?post=20033"},{"taxonomy":"keyword","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/notes.math.ca\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/keyword?post=20033"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
