I will say a little about his mathematical work here, but a fuller appreciation is being prepared for publication elsewhere. I will try to convey something of his style and of his feelings about mathematics, again letting him speak in his own words. Adams was knowledgeable about many other fields, but topology was his love. While all of his work was at a very high level, two groups of early papers stand out particularly:
