Associate Professor Peg-Foo Siew
Mathematician and Line Dancer

21 May 1941 – 2 September 2005

On Friday, 2 September, 2005, Peg-Foo Siew lost his battle with cancer. He passed away at home surrounded by his family. He was deeply respected by friends, colleagues, and students alike, for his tirelessness service to others and his gentle, good-humoured manner. This is an excerpt from his last Linear Algebra unit outline:

Consultation Times:
Drop in to say hello if you come by building 314. I am always available, unless I am teaching or have to attend a meeting.

At the time, he was Undergraduate Course Coordinator for the Department of Mathematics & Statistics at Curtin University of Technology.

His area of research was mainly in mathematical modelling and he was particularly interested in confined viscous flows, electromagnetic response of a non-homogeneous earth and the use of symbolic algebraic computation (in particular, Maple) in both teaching and research. There is a list of some of his papers, with the accompanying abstracts, and a fuller listing of his publications in his curriculum vitae.
