Abstract :
Professor Sundaram Seshu (A´48-M´58) died on December 21, 1965, in a car accident. Dr. Seshu´s technical contributions had earned him an international reputation in circuit theory and switching theory. Some of the areas in which he made significant technical contributions include the theory of positive real functions, synthesis procedures which minimize the number of network elements, topological formulas for the analysis of networks, the synthesis of switching circuits, and computer diagnosis and self repair.
