Come to think of it, every English-speaking mathematician I have ever heard
pronounced “Lie“
as
“Lee,” but I may as well get confirmation on this while we’re on the topic.
Is “Lee” right?
(And is it true that he used to go hiking in the nude? This is part of
mathematical folklore, but I can’t find a reference to it in Arild
Stubhaug’s very detailed biography.)
