Abstract
What made Ehrenpreis’ mathematics so unique was his bold approach to classical problems, and his interest in finding an overarching and unifying framework for a variety of apparently unrelated problems. In this note I will try to highlight this characteristic, by looking at some of Ehrenpreis’ papers which are not, strictly speaking, connected with either the Fundamental Principle or the Radon Transform.

Notes
- 1.
As a somewhat amusing and personal note, I should mention that in the late 1980s I had founded a small publishing company in southern Italy, Mediterranean Press was its name; at that time Ehrenpreis was visiting my department, and he had accepted my invitation to write a book on the Radon transform for my company. During the next several years, I therefore saw several preliminary versions of the book, but by the mid-1990s I had left Italy, sold my equity in the company, and Ehrenpreis had found a much more appropriate outlet for his work.
