Summary: Professor Stein Arild Strømme, of the University of Bergen and associated with the Oslo Centre of Mathematics and Applications, passed away on 31 January this year at the age of 62. A well known specialist in algebraic geometry, in particular in the areas of moduli spaces, intersection theory and enumerative geometry, he was also Editor of Acta Mathematica (1997--2000) and a committed leader on the international stage with endeavours such as the Europroj project, the Sophus Lie Center at Nordfjordeid and the Mittag-Leffler Institute at Djursholm (Stockholm). The Maple package \texttt{SCHUBERT}, developed jointly with Sheldon Katz, accredited him as a computational wizard. The aim of this article is to present a more detailed overview of these accomplishments, the milieu in which they took form and the visible influence on current undertakings.
