Professor Herbert Melvin Lieberstein died at Royal Newcastle Hospital on 18th August,1973, at the age of 47. As an applied mathematician, Professor Lieberstein was devoted tohis research and teaching in the application of mathematics to other disciplines; his most recent book entitled “Mathematical Physiology”, was published just before his death. Because his interests coincided so closely with the aims and aspirations of theFaculty of Mathematics at Newcastle, his appointment to that Faculty in 1971 was particularly appropriate.He lived less than two years in Australia, but during that time he consolidated his reputation as a most versatile and successful applied mathematician. His work is well known throughout Australia and, indeed, throughout the world, especially to those who work in fields to which mathematics may be profitably applied. However, his versatility and ability were not confined to mathematics, for he also made substantial contributions to a number of community projects; these contributions will be long remembered by those interested in the welfare of the Australian Aborigines, problems of the environment and associated projects.
