It was once said of Léo Sauvé that no one was as innovative or as successful in creating an educational method of reaching students and peers solely by the written word. Jerri Lunney notes that Leo was “an unbelievably wonderful teacher.”
Léo co-created Eureka (Crux Mathematicorum), a monthly mathematics problem-solving journal which gained an international reputation. He was also its editor for eleven years. He received tributes from renowed problem solvers such as Martin Gardner, Murray Klamkin, Howard Eves, Donald Coxeter, and others.
Léo got his post-secondary education at the University of Ottawa. He taught at St. Patrick's College and at Algonquin College of Arts and Technology, both in Ottawa.
