Abstract

This article is dedicated to the memory of Professor Urmila Pyakurel who passed away at an early age. It includes her short biography and also several testimonials from collaborators, sponsors, scholars and well-wishers whose involvements with her inspired and enriched both them and her and the story of her success. The description of the major scientific work of her research group is included in the scientific part of this paper. This heartfelt tribute to her highlights not only her exceptional academic career as a role model Nepalese young female mathematician but also the steadfastness and integrity of her extreme willingness to encourage young researchers and scientists.
