Exceptionally good, remarkable. 3. Strange or eccentric in some aspect. In our opinion, and we are sure that also in the opinion of all his friends, the three meanings are well adapted to Felipe Cano. Clearly Felipe is singular, unique, some of us could say hopefully, because if there where two, we would all become crazy. Seriously, after a lot of years knowing Felipe and working with him, we all know that there are few people comparable to him, he is exceptionally good as person and as mathematician, and this justifies the second meaning of "singular". At last if we ask to his students in mathematics in Valladolid, either undergraduate or graduate, all of them would use the word eccentric, or even something worst, to describe the pedagogical methods of Felipe. But as far as we know these eccentric methods work perfectly. Felipe is also singular by the number of people with whom he has collaborated: he has joint publications with 26 mathematicians,
